I’ve always had trouble wrangling eye makeup. Not only does it often end up underneath my eyes, but it leaves my eyes red and stinging in spite of promises to be waterproof and formulated for sensitive eyes. However, I’ve found that some mascaras truly are better than others for my dilemma, which brings me to Cheekbone Beauty…I can attest to the fact that the Cheekbone Beauty Uprise Mascara remains on my eyes, doesn’t irritate them, and simply works like magic. And the brand’s Mini Fearless Eyeshadows are just as fantastic.
A decade ago, Cheekbone Beauty founder Jenn Harper dreamt that little Indigenous girls were covered in colorful lip glosses, which was the impetus for her to create Cheekbone Beauty. The brand is among the first Canadian Indigenous-owned and founded cosmetics companies. Headquartered in Ontario, Cheekbone Beauty prides itself on using the best quality ingredients – and ingredient-integrity always results in better products with better results.
Here are some of Cheekbone Beauty’s superb eye products:
Cheekbone Beauty’s Mini Fearless Eyeshadow in pearlescent Honey Calcite Mini imparts a brightening effect to your eyes and provides a nice contrast with mascara. The Mini Fearless Eyeshadow in Rose Quartz eyeshadow is an ultra-softening hue that pairs well with all eye colors. Brown Topaz is ideal for summery smokey eyes, especially when layered with the Honey Calcite, and Lavender Rock highlights all eye colors in the loveliest ways. These mini pencils are tiny and powerful, and can fit in purses and pockets for quick touch-ups.

Drum roll… the Uprise Mascara is sheer perfection. It doesn’t clump, flake, smudge, irritate, or end up under my eyes. It separates lashes and coats each lash individually in eye-popping Black Noir. This gentle formula is both much-appreciated and highly recommended for anyone who wants to rest assured that their mascara will not only remain on, but be effective.
You can find all of these sustainable products HERE, along with lipsticks and blush.
