Creator of the world's first zero waste 3-IN-1 sticks with intense pigments, Axiology Beauty just gets it. All of Axiology's products are made with a max of 10 sustainably-sourced vegan ingredients, the majority of which are organic. It's also 100% plastic-free (yes, really!). It's beauty that puts the planet first. Most importantly, Axiology lipsticks are natural and vegan, but without sacrificing performance. There's a holy-grail shade for every lip, and Kanvas Beauty is proud to stock the entire award-winning range.

One of the best slow beauty brands on the market

Here’s what else you should know: Axiology practises “slow beauty”. Just as “slow fashion” became popular as the antidote to fast fashion labels pumping out clothing range after range with excessive waste, slow beauty is gaining relevance as customers review their consumption habits in favour of products that are more thoughtful to the environment. Slow beauty is all about using fewer products using ethically sourced ingredients and which employ sustainable production methods.  It’s also about encouraging us to take the time to invest in ourselves (rather than go for the cheapest product), and enjoy the little rituals that go along with applying skincare and makeup. Which, during the lockdowns and restrictions of 2020 and 2021, has been a relaxing outlet for many of us! When Kanvas Beauty place an order for Axiology, they make their lipsticks in small batches for us – which means that sometimes these products may be out-of-stock for longer, but trust us, the wait is worth it! It’ll be coming to you fresh, and with love. Find out more about what slow beauty means to Axiology here. 

Axiology balmies: The Byrdie 2021 eco award winner

The OG, award-winning cult product from Axiology is its Vegan Multi-Use Balmie. Featured in French Vogue, Allure and Byrdie, Balmies are one-swipe staples that have your eyes, lips and cheeks covered. These wear-anywhere crayons provide natural colour like high-end makeup but are gentle on your lips. This means lovely pigments without compromising on skin health. Packed with oils, butters, and antioxidants such as elderberry, hemp, and plum, you'll feel glam as well as nourished. This was the first product the company produced, after having tried a number of vegan lipsticks that they were less than thrilled with (some of which were so dry, they broke off in the middle). Not these babies! While it isn’t as hydrating as a lip gloss (given the lack of packaging, they have to be firm enough to stand unprotected), it imparts a lovely and buildable lip stain. Check out this Axiology Balmies review here from The Quality Edit for more detail.

Sometimes referred to as Axiology Lip-to-Lid Balmies, they are wrapped in paper and rest in a recyclable carry case. This means that they’re 100% zero waste, and you can use them from tip to finish! Some of the most popular shades of Axiology Balmies include Peach and Watermelon – both of which are lovely on the cheeks and eyelids as well.

Tip: Use shades Champagne, Frosting, Chestnut and Caramel as highlighters!

Axiology Tinted Dew Multisticks: those buttery feels

For the best in organic, vegan lipsticks, cheek stains and eye crayons, it’s hard to go past Axiology. Moreover, their amazing Tinted Dew Multisticks! These sticks are one of those rare makeup purchases that make your lips and skin feel hydrated and healthy, as well as look bomb-diggity. Ultra-moisturizing and available in 7 dewy shades, they are creamier and softer than the Balmies. This makes them ideal for application on dry skin, while the Balmies should remain the go-to for those with oily skin that hate their makeup bleeding after a few hours. The Dew Sticks are also perfect for that everyday, "no make-up" makeup look.

If you're looking for richer colour, opt for the Axiology Colour Creams instead.

Axiology Colour Creams: Opacity meets moisture

Axiology's Colour Cream Multi Sticks are all about that high payoff and high opacity life. When it comes to vegan multi-sticks, Australia has been somewhat short-changed compared to other countries in terms of choice and quality. This is particularly when it comes to semi-matte and high payoff ranges, which often tugged when applied to our skin, especially delicate areas like the eyelids. Axiology’s Colour Creams were like a breath of fresh air – they were surprisingly moisturizing and velvety when applied.

Moreoever, both the Color Cream and Dew Multisticks are made with just 10 clean and vegan ingredients. Packed with oils and butters such as soy butter, avocado oil and omega-rich sunflower seed oil, it'll moisturize as well as provide vibrant colour. Because Axiology have removed the orange oil from its ingredients list, it's also safe to apply on the eye lids. We know you'll love its super silky, buttery texture as much as we do!

the fast facts

Q: Which is better: Axiology balmie, Dew Multi Stick or Colour Cream?
A: The answer to that question depends on what you’re after. The Balmies and Colour Creams are highly pigmented and buildable. The former is better for oily skin, with the Colour Creams more moisturising. However, if you’re looking for softer, hydrating colour and a satiny-finish, you’ll probably prefer the Dew Stick. 

Q: When was Axiology Beauty founded?
A: Axiology’s journey started in 2013, with a lot of trial and error. In fact, more than 200 formulations were made before they arrived at the perfection that is the Balmie that we know and love today! The brand officially launched from founder Ericka’s kitchen in 2014. And from little things, big things grow. Today, Axiology can be found all over the world, including Australia – at Kanvas Beauty! Read more about the journeyhere.

Q: Where is Axiology Makeup made?
A: Axiology makeup is made in Bend, Oregon – which is in the Pacific Northwest region of the Western United States. The products are lovingly made in small batches, to ensure the highest quality and to keep in tune with the ‘slow beauty’ ethos.

Q: Is Axiology cruelty-free?
A: In her own words, founder Ericka Rodriguez was horrified to learn that all the lipsticks she owned were tested on animals. After buying vegan lipsticks and not being particularly impressed by their performance, she set out to create Axiology. Axiology is most certainly cruelty-free and vegan. Not only does it not test on animals, but it doesn’t used any animal-derived ingredients in its formulas either (e.g. honey, beeswax, marine oils etc).
