The composition according to the invention makes it possible to obtain, after shaking, an emulsion that rapidly separates again into two transparent phases, having a perfectly sharp interface and with no appearance of droplets that remain attached to the walls of the transparent container. The composition in accordance with the invention has the same makeup-removing efficacy and better sensory properties, and in particular it leaves less greasy residue on the skin. ## Claims ### Claim 1 Composition consisting of an aqueous phase and an oily phase, which are separate and transparent, comprising at least one surfactant that is liquid at room temperature (20-25° C.) and at atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg or 1.013×105 Pa), with an HLB<8 and chosen from fatty acid esters of sugar and alkyl polyglucosides, at least one branched alkane comprising from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and from 0 to 4% by weight of silicone oils relative to the total weight of the composition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) Composition according to claim 1, in which the surfactant(s) that are liquid at room
