Cheekbone Beauty is much more than meets the eye. You see, Indigenous people have been known for centuries to have high cheekbones. When I think of Cheekbone Beauty, I think of the natural, raw beauty of not only my ancestors, but of my people that are still here today.
Cheekbone Beauty is more than just a product. It embodies and instills strength, confidence, resilience, and pride in each and every person who wears it. Whether you love to wear makeup or not, there truly is a little piece of magic for everyone.
As an Indigenous Woman who works in mainstream fashion, television, and media, it is important to me to support Indigenous owned businesses in these spaces. More specifically, Indigenous and Woman owned businesses. It’s a cut throat industry for people like us and I strongly believe in women supporting women.
I’ve partnered with Cheekbone Beauty to create an exclusive lip kit with my top three, highest used products: Sand Lip Liner, Nuna Lipstick, and Birch Lip Gloss. Whether I’m making television, off to an event, taking a stroll to the mall, or catching a ball game (one of my favorite things to do), this trio is my go-to. Sometimes it's liner and lipstick, sometimes it’s just gloss, and sometimes it’s all three. There’s a combo for every mood, every style, every event, and every moment!
Might I add that this is only part one of my collaboration with Cheekbone Beauty? There is something extra special coming down the line that we’ve been working on together and we can’t wait to share it with you all!
