Trycia Carlberg, President and Founder of Dust Makeup, is a Southern California native. As a professional performer of over 20 years and as a woman, Trycia searched for a more intense and powerful look that she could wear on and off stage. In September 2004, she launched DUST Makeup to appeal to both diva stage performers as well as those looking for a flirtatious and colorful edge in their make up.

DUST consists of a wide range of sheer base, pigment and glitter for easy eye applications. Cosmetically approved for use around the eye, it is an easy 3-step system of sheer base, pigment, and then glitter. The sheer base serves as a starting point supporting both the pigment and glitter to adhere without creasing. The pigment colors range from shimmer to matte, allowing for pure color depth and coverage. Finally, the glitter has a true “pop” feature that can range from mild to wild. Whether walking the catwalk, rockin’ the stage, or out on the town, DUST will give a powerful new look of confidence and glamour.

All DUST products are cruelty free, and DUST is one of the few glitter makeup collections with FDA approval for use around the eyes, as it does not contain mica or aluminum in its contents. DUST's staying power is especially important to dancers and stage performers because it lasts throughout the most rigorous of performances, and there is no risk of eye irritation.
