Emulsion composition

The present invention provides an emulsion composition which is capable of improving makeup adhesion and makeup lasting properties even with short-term continuous use in cases where a portion, to which the emulsion composition is continuously used, is cleaned and makeup is putted thereon. An emulsion composition which contains components (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) described below, wherein the mass ratio of the content of component (E) to the total content of components (A), (B), (C) and (D), namely (E)/((A) + (B) + (C) + (D)) is from 0.01 to 1 (inclusive). (A) one or more compounds selected from among sphingosine, salts of sphingosine, pseudo-sphingosines, salts of pseudo-sphingosines, anionic surfactants and cationic surfactants (B) a ceramide (C) a glycerol fatty acid ester (D) a higher alcohol (E) a polymer which has a light transmittance of 90% or more as measured at 25 DEG C after mixing 25 parts by mass of the polymer with 100 parts by mass of cetanol at 85 DEG C, and which has a main chain having a gla
