Creators and Creatives

One thing about me is I love makeup, especial ly Aboriginal owned, cruelty-free and vegan friendly makeup (triple slay). Founded by Bar kindji woman Kimberly Mann (Payne), Yuku-na Glow makeup is 100% aboriginal owned and inspired by culture, connection and country. Their eyeshadow palettes in particular are incredible with an amazing range of shades along with a variety of clothing and swimwear available in sizes 6-24! They’ve recently been collabing with other First Nations artists to release country inspired palettes that are to die for. Yuku-na Glow donates a minimum 10% of their sales to various communities with options to pay it forward and donate items to Blak-owned organisations that support and empower mob.

Based in Adelaide, Mardlaapa Designs was founded by Adnyamathanha, Narungga and Wangkangurru Yarluyandi artist and UoA student, Temaana Sanderson-Bromley. If you love surf fashion, you’ll love Mardlaapa Designs which fuses traditional Aboriginal art and surf styles. Mardlaapa has got a great range of graphic tees and hoodies, my personal favourite is their “Change the Date” tee. I also love their tote bags which are perfect if you’re like me and always on the hunt for cute bags for uni or beach trips. They’ve also got new jumper designs and beanies on the way which are perfect for the upcoming colder months if you’re looking to update your wardrobe. I had the pleasure of yarning with Temaana about Mardlaapa Designs which you can check out in this issue too!
