Cosmetic composition comprising particles of melamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resin and its uses. The present application relates to a composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one oily phase and particles of melamine-formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resin, to the use of the said composition, especially as a cosmetic composition for caring for and/or making up the skin, in particular for softening defects of the relief of the skin, such as microrelief features, wrinkles or pores, while conferring a natural appearance on the skin, and to its use in treating greasy skin. The particles advantageously have a number-average size ranging from approximately 0.1 to 20 .mu.m. The composition of the invention can be anhydrous or can be provided in the form of a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion.
