Is there a Canadian Make Up Brand you just 😍 love ❤️ ?

I want to hear about it and your product recommendations 🙏

I don't feel like I see or hear enough about products I can buy more locally and getting anything from the States is sooo hard tbh

What's the next big thing happening here?

What do you love right now ?

🫖☕️

It’s true @CynthieLu. We hardy ever hear about Canadian brands. MAC and Deciem, the parent company of The Ordinary, both had their start in Canada. Both brands are under Estée Lauder now, so not truly Canadian anymore.

I feel the same way @JoSometimes

I'm excited to hear about something created,produced and amazing from right here. Deciem's selling was regrettable to hear imo 😔

I enjoy Nudestix makeup @CynthieLu. Their products are very pigmented and long lasting. They offer a wide variety of products and skincare. They are based in Toronto. Occasionally they even have a pop up store. I feel that the pigment of their products are much better than the Milk Makeup.

Oooh thank you for shouting them out @Loretta55 I didn't even know they are Canadian. Do you have much by them in your collection?

I've heard of thier contour sticks I believe 🤔

Sometimes I feel like I have all of their entire makeup lines @CynthieLu . I didn’t care for their foundation but the various blushes, highlighters, eyeshadow sticks, and lipstick products are really good. Of course I have my personal favorites but Nudestix is amongst my favorites.

Ahhh thank you @Loretta55 I love a highlighter and I would love to support something local, that's so awesome, thank you! 😊 ✨️

If you felt like swatching any when you have the time, I would appreciate it greatly. 🙏

@CynthieLu , I am surprised how different it is to get a good photo of the highlighters. Anyway I will show you the first 3.

I've tried this before so I understand how challenging it is to get photos of highlighters @Loretta55 Thank you so much for them 🩷🙏

Out of all of them I am most drawn to the lavederish one one the left most last picture, I think it must be half moon? I really like that one alot by the look of it 💜 🌙

Thank you so much for these!

You are correct @CynthieLu, it is half moon. Unfortunately you can only order it from Nudestix direct. I believe that I got mine in a Hillary Duff set maybe 5 years ago.

Sephora doesn’t carry them (yet) but I’m a Day One customer of Vasanti Cosmetics, they’re 100% Canadian, and family owned. Their face wash and Kajal eyeliners are unbeatable.

@CynthieLu

Cheekbone is Canadian. Sephora carries only a few select skus but there are way more. It’s a great brand that supports indigenous women.

CynthieLu — Mon, 15 May 2023 10:22:33 GMT

Thank you for shouting them out🙏 @MagicMari I looked them up on Google, it's run by a sisterhood 💖 😀 I just got lost looking at the lipsticks, those are some fabulous shades, just wow!👌

Re: Canadian Makeup Brands you love? Tell me about it 🩷

CynthieLu — Mon, 15 May 2023 10:16:13 GMT

That's sooo awesome @GG84 Thank you for sharing 🙏 I took a quick look on this site and your right, it's just a very small sampling. I'm going to go look around thier website to see more. 🙂

Can I ask how you heard about them? Is there a fav product you reccomend by them? 🩷

Nudestix direct is currently holding a sitewide sale of 30% off most items using code NUDEVIBESONLY. Exclusions apply. I thought that I had points to apply but due to inactivity I lost over 3000 points. @CynthieLu @JoSometimes

Re: Canadian Makeup Brands you love? Tell me about it 🩷

CynthieLu — Wed, 17 May 2023 00:15:18 GMT

Ooooh that's a huge shame 😭 @Loretta55 You have to be careful not to be unactive anywhere for over a year or lose all the points you've earned 💔

Re: Canadian Makeup Brands you love? Tell me about it 🩷

Loretta55 — Wed, 17 May 2023 00:20:27 GMT

It came as a surprise @CynthieLu. I purchased a few Nudestix items last year at Ulta but truthfully there isn’t much that excites me lately from them. I did build a cart but I’m not ready to pull the trigger.

Re: Canadian Makeup Brands you love? Tell me about it 🩷

JoSometimes — Wed, 17 May 2023 01:38:01 GMT

Ohh no! It’s too bad about all those points @Loretta55. That’s how they get you. 😤

And thank you for the the code. It’s tempting but I need to go swatch them first to find shades I’m happy with.

Re: Canadian Makeup Brands you love? Tell me about it 🩷

Loretta55 — Wed, 17 May 2023 01:42:55 GMT

I totally understand why you are holding off purchasing anything @JoSometimes. I have been burnt too many times because I didn’t swatch items.
