Glossed Over


Cheekbone Beauty


Over 100 Indigenous communities in Canada STILL don't have clean drinking water.
Yet this issue continues to be ignored because for most Canadians that water will never touch their lips.

So to draw attention to this issue, we worked with Cheekbone Beauty to create a lip gloss collection made with contaminated water from 3 Indigenous communities. (2022)
