Founder Jenn Harper infuses the beauty industry with Indigenous principles.

Cheekbone Beauty is a brand that centers an Indigenous worldview—from the formulations that incorporate millenia-old ingredients that are intrinsic to Native cultures to their customer service approach which hinges on community. “Our worldview of supporting the community is a vital part of Indigenous culture,” says Harper. “We don’t define success as attaining things for self, but instead about what you can do for those around you.

We visited all the Sephoras in Canada that stocked our products, along with speaking to their staff and teams. The last event was at the Sephora in the Eaton Center, which is a mall I would go to with my dad when I was growing up. In the past, we would be accused of stealing merchandise when we went there, along with being accosted because of our status cards which give us some tax exemptions.

Thankfully, we found investors and the more I got to know them, I realized they really weren’t investing in the business at first—they were investing in me. Based on their experience, they’ve told me it takes a certain kind of person to push things forward. Now that I know they’re investing in my work ethic, it really boils down to passion—the kind that connects people to that idea when you’re having conversations with them.
