Cece Meadows Is Here to Show the World Indigenous Beauty

My 20s were actually a really big blur. I was making six figures in the finance world, driving a sports car, and just living life really, really fast. I got married, had a little girl, and got divorced. At 27, I was diagnosed with cancer. My insurance covered only a portion of my surgeries and medication. Being a single mom with one income and being sick, it was hard. I basically lost everything—my home, my car, my savings—all from trying to pay for my treatments.

Indigenous representation in beauty is important. I personally identify as Yaqui and Comanche. And when I think of Indigenous beauty, I think of amplifying the voices of not just one particular tribe but all of us together. Using vibrant seeds of color like turquoise and yellow and orange helps accomplish that. We have a lot of Indigenous makeup artists on our team who come up with the most beautiful eye looks, and some of them post photos in their regalia or wearing beaded jewelry.
