fROM THE OWNERS

We’ve been best friends for over 20 years. We
are proud Indigenous women who love creative
expression through makeup!


We have both left successful consulting careers to revive a dream that started two decades ago - to own our own Indigenous cosmetics and skincare company. We want to celebrate and showcase the beauty, art and talent of Indigenous people here on Turtle Island (North America) and throughout the globe.

  • More about Angie

    Angie Sarsons, Founder/CEO of Tribalure Canada Inc., works in partnership with Founder/COO Denyse Nadon.

    Angie is a member of Moose Cree First Nation (located in Moose Factory, Ontario). She is the grand-daughter of Andrew and Maggie Sutherland, and daughter of Larry and Bella Lafontaine.

    Angela's purpose in life is refelected in her Indigeous name, "Wind that Helps Eagles Fly". Her personal mission in life is to reflect the love that she sees in each and every person so that they may recognize their own inner beauty and gifts.

    As a Crown-ward from the ages of 5-16, Angie developed resiliency and a holistic "medicine bundle" that has not only allowed her to transcend the odds stacked against her but to truly thrive and impact others in a positive way.

    FAVOURITE QUOTE:

    "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care."

    Angie has loved makeup since the age of 13! She became an esthetician and hair stylist out of high school and while her career took her on a different journey (First Nations governance and leadership development), she never lost her zeal for makeup artistry. Life has come full circle and Angie is embracing her passion for entrepreneurship and creativity.

THANK YOU FROM YOUR TRIBALURE TEAM

Thank you for being here. We know that if you are reading this, we are connected and that you, too, share in an important issue that is near and dear to both our hearts—Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). We have both lost aunties to this tragedy. Others have lost daughters, sisters, aunties, grandmas, cousins and friends. From that grief and loss, we have found strength—strength in ourselves and in our community—and Tribalure was born.
