Sparklecrack Central was started in January 2009. A particular forum, which had recently been sort-of-adopted-as-official by a certain mineral makeup company, passed a ban on all posts about any brand other than the “official sponsor”‘s brand of makeup. Since that particular community had been started as a result of over-eager moderation on another forum and the members had grown into a close-knit community, this move felt more than a bit abrupt to many of its members. LiAnn, a web professional since the mid-1990s, started this site as a place for members of this close-knit community to talk about ANY brand of mineral makeup. Another member of that same forum - a longer-time, more visible member - started their own forum, everyone went over there, and LiAnn maintained this forum and its site as her own makeup blog.
