The Powwow Kit: Where Culture Meets Colour

This Indigenous Peoples Day, Cheekbone Beauty is honouring legacy, storytelling, and artistry with the launch of The Powwow Kit—a powerful limited-edition collaboration with renowned Cree artist Kent Monkman. Available starting June 21, the set features some of Cheekbone’s most beloved products, reimagined with bold intention and cultural depth.

Housed in a keepsake box adorned with Monkman’s original artwork, The Powwow Kit is a celebration of Indigenous identity and resilience. At its heart is beauty that goes beyond the surface—each product chosen for its ability to empower, uplift, and enhance your natural expression.

Inside, you’ll find Mattifying Moon Dust, a translucent setting powder that keeps shine in check without muting your glow, and Horizon Lip Pencil in True Red, a defining shade that channels strength through a rich, empowering red. The brand also introduces its new Healing Lip Oil in Resilience Red, a sheer, hydrating formula created to honour vitality, resistance, and care. Cheekbone’s fan-favourite Uprise Mascara, crafted with 99 per cent natural ingredients, completes the set with its signature lift and length.

Beyond the beauty staples, the box itself unfolds into a frameable print of Kent Monkman’s iconic piece, Giants Walk the Earth—a stirring visual reimagining of Indigenous presence, legacy, and identity. The artwork offers a lasting reminder that beauty, like history, holds power in how it’s told and who tells it.

The Powwow Kit launches June 21, 2025, in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day, and is available exclusively at cheekbonebeauty.com. Retailing for $99 CAD, this limited-edition release is more than a makeup kit—it’s a statement, a story, and a tribute to the communities and voices it represents. —Vita Daily
