What makes Crush Groove Cosmetics so different from the hundreds of other mineral makeup lines?

Crush Groove Cosmetics provide vegan crushed mineral makeup without the use of talc, bismuth oxychloride, titanium dioxide, animal by-products, and FD&C Dyes. This is the only vegan herbal mineral makeup line that provides realistic skin tones. Our minerals are enriched with comfrey root and oatmeal, which heals and soothes the skin.

I find that mica irritates my skin. Do you use mica in your products?

Crush Groove Cosmetics mineral foundation does not contain mica. Mica is the main ingredient in most mineral makeup which causes skin irritation and leaves a faux shiney glow...yuck!

Is your mineral makeup for all races?

Yes, unlike most mineral makeup, our mineral foundation ranges from the darkest to the lightest skin tones with 3 undertones to choose from: red, yellow, and olive. Crush Groove Cosmetics now has a special customized service to match your current makeup!

Why is the mineral makeup packaged in spice jars?

Have you ever heard of the “double dipping rule? Well, it seems like no one follows this important advice. Crush Groove Cosmetics are packaged in spice jars to conveniently sprinkle the powder onto a tissue to use. This prevents bacteria forming in the jar by “double dipping” brushes or sponges.

Is the makeup compatible for all skin types?

This makeup is excellent for all skin types. Whether you have oily, combination, or normal skin, you will benefit from the soothing herbs that prevent breakouts and premature aging. Our makeup also provides complete and safe coverage for skin conditions like acne, rosacea and melasma.

Does Crush Groove Cosmetics test their products on animals?

We do NOT test our products on animals. Not only are we animal cruelty-free, we are human cruelty-free too!

Do you have concealers?

Since Raw Earth Powder is concentrated with crushed minerals, you do not need a concealer. If you would like extra coverage, buff with a face brush or use a wet/dry sponge.

Does Crush Groove Cosmetics work all day long?

Yes. Our minerals are concentrated and does not dissolve in water or oil. Therefore, your foundation can last all day, even after the gym!

What moisturizer should I use?

It is important that the skin is evenly moisturized so the Raw Earth Powder can 'adhere' to the skin. For best results, apply Remix face serum before foundation application.

What cleanser should I use?

Our mineral makeup can be removed with any facial cleanser. For best results, we recommend you use Sweet Tea makeup remover and the Coco-Veggie Wrap cleanser.

I am not sure what shade I am, how do I choose my color?
