RCMA Makeup

The Research Council of Makeup Artists was founded by renowned make-up artist Vincent JR Kehoe in 1962. RCMA was organized to further the research and development of specialized professional make-up products for the film, television and stage industry. Mr. Kehoe developed and designed a special foundation formula for professional working make-up artists which he called “Color Process foundation” It is considered the number one choice foundation by professionals. Professional Make-up is primarily judged on foundation and here we have major differences between all other Foundations, commercial or theatrical, on the market today anywhere in the world. The basic qualities of RCMA "Color Process" FOUNDATION are: 

• It is manufactured under very stringent, small batch conditions where the ingredients are weighed out to the gram to maintain both consistency and color standards exactly. 


• It contains only vegetable oils, pure waxes and FDA approved colors.

Exact color standards are maintained in RCMA from batch to batch and tested on each run against standards. To a make-up artist this is most important for color-matching.
