RCMA Makeup
RCMA is a professional makeup brand trusted by artists for over 60 years. Every product is vegan, cruelty-free, and chosen for performance and clean credentials. Ships Australia-wide.
Most makeup brands are built for mass market appeal. RCMA works differently. The Research Council of Makeup Artists has spent over 60 years developing formulas for professionals who cannot afford products that fail under lights, on camera, or through a full day of wear. Whether you are looking for RCMA makeup foundation or setting powder, the result is a range with nearly 50% pigment concentration, small batch production, and no synthetic fragrance, drying alcohol, or harsh chemical preservatives.
Every product in this collection is formulated with vegetable oils and waxes rather than synthetic fillers. A little goes a long way, which makes the per-use cost significantly lower than most mainstream alternatives despite the higher upfront price.
At Loyal Crush, RCMA is stocked because it meets the same strict ethical standards applied across everything. Professional performance, clean ingredients, rigorous formulation. No compromises.
The RCMA foundation range, and in particular the RCMA foundation palette format, is what the brand is best known for. Here is how to choose the right format for your routine or kit.
For the full range of organic foundation makeup at Loyal Crush or to explore vegan makeup more broadly, both collections follow the same ethical standard throughout.
RCMA is built around base makeup. Here is how to use it alongside the rest of your routine.
Start with a clean base. Apply concealers before or after foundation, depending on your coverage preference. The RCMA Liquid Concealer in N Series and G Series pairs directly with the liquid foundation in the same undertone series for a consistent finish.
Build your eye look alongside the base. An organic eyeliner and eye shadow pallette from the same clean standard rounds out the eye. Complete the eye look with mascara from the Loyal Crush range for a clean finish from base to lash.
The 5 Part Series Highlight and Contour Palette and Cream Blush Palette sit alongside the foundation products for a full face using the same formula family. Cream on cream layers more naturally than mixing cream and powder at the base level.

RCMA is an independent professional makeup brand based in the United States. It has been operating for over 60 years and remains focused on the professional makeup artist market.
Apply with a damp sponge or foundation brush, starting with a very small amount. The high pigment concentration means less product is needed than most foundations. Individual shades can be used alone or mixed for a custom match. Set with the No Colour Powder or Translucent Powder for longer wear.
The Custom Australian Foundation Palette 18p was developed specifically for the Australian market and covers typical skin tones from light to dark across warm, neutral, and cool undertones. For makeup artists with a broader client range, the VK10 and VK11 palettes offer a wider shade spectrum. Reddit threads from Australian makeup artists consistently recommend starting with the Custom Australian palette.
