amazing indie makeup that should be in Sephora!! you’re missing out on these…

[@taylorwynn]

Hii! Just a heads up my instagram giveaway is now over (ended April 9) this video was prefilmed and was going to go up last week instead of today but wanted to get the Sephora sale video up for you guys so that’s why the giveaway was mentioned in this video! xx

[@FabulousCait]

I had a dream last night I ran into you and we were going antiquing and op-shopping. Also speaking of Etsy I have recently started an Etsy business and I would love to send you a couple of pieces as a thank you for helping me keep my sanity I’ve the past couple of years (lots of mental health problems)

[@JSSCA-lk7hl]

Got my hopes up for nothing !😅 jk❤

[@onebeatmomma6433]

Sydney Grace, Terra Moons, Devinah, and Clionadh are some of my absolute favorite indie brands. Love seeing indie brands featured on your platform!!

[@peony70]

Clionadh makes beautiful shadows and great quality.

[@AmeerahMuhammad]

Im a huge Salt New York fan. The owner is essentially a one woman show and created all of her own formulas. Sydney Grace is amazing as well - it’s run by two sisters and the name comes from their daughters’ names put together.

[@kristentrep5038]

Edit: I had to add to my comment, anyone interested in Sydney Grace should order the Tiny Marvels palette!! It’s a collaboration with the late great Mel Thompson! She was a youtuber who passed after she’d created the palette with the brand. The proceeds are going to Mels family. I believe she had 4 young children, and an added bonus is that the palette is beautiful!! I’m watching now, and am at the beginning.. but I’m a mostly indie shopper Bc they create the most fabulous and spectacular shadows, blush, and all things really!! After this video tho I’ll never be able to get my hands on my stuff! Lol

[@melindavansandt5168]

And after many sell-outs...I finally got it! Even tho Mel has already passed; I wanted to get ot for her and her family!

[@kristentrep5038]

@@melindavansandt5168 I’m happy you got your hands on it too! I’ve had it since it launched, and I just love everything about it! From the packaging that her tattoo artist designed, to the beetle shade in the top right corner!! (I think it’s called beetle?? Or, maybe that’s the regular single of same shade)

[@kristasweetleaf5695]

@@kristentrep5038 it's called scarab 😊

[@cavlizzy]

Mel's husband is now having to try and raise those 4 young children.... so yes, everyone pls buy the Tiny Marvels palette. It is one of my faves!!!

[@kristentrep5038]

@@cavlizzy I’m so happy Taylor mentioned the brand. I’d love to see her use the tiny marvels to bring even more attention to Mels palette.. She was so beautiful, on the outside, and from what I’d seen in videos as well as how her friends describe her on the inside too! Prayers to her husband and kids.. they’ve got a beautiful loving angel!

[@r.fomalhaut7786]

SO glad you featured Salt and Half Caked! Half Caked especially has such a perfect shade range, and every time I use their products or browse their site I just get the feeling that the creators know exactly what makeup consumers want. Their product images are awesome, shade descriptions are incredibly precise, and the colors are so nuanced and perfect. They're awesome!

[@brainsbeauty]

YAY, indie makeup deserves so much more hype, I rarely consider eyeshadows from normal brands now because I've been so spoiled by indie eyeshadow quality. Would love to see you try some multichromes like from Clionadh or Terra moons!

[@MC-ko2mx]

I stumbled across Clionadh when trying to dupe Huda's Mercury Retrograde palette and wow, the intensity of their duochromes and multichromes. Are they as good IRL as they are in photos? Am going to check out Terra Moons as well :)

[@brainsbeauty]

@@MC-ko2mx they definitely are!! If what you want is mainly sparkle and 2-3 shifts on the eyes you can go for their glitter multichrome line (not real glitter just large particle mica- so super sparkly) and those are reasonably affordable. But if you want the super magical like 3-5 shifts on the eyes depending on the light then go for their jewelled line (black based) or if you don't want it to be smokey go for their iridescent glitter multichrome (super sparkly finish) or series 2 (more metallic finish) multichromes. I love the iridescent because you can layer and select the multichrome to have any base so it's super versatile. But yea you can't go wrong with Clionadh. The channel Badtothebrow does a lot of indie multichrome comparisons and the clionadh ones are often in the top. But Terra moons has some special colours not offered at Clionadh. I hope that helped a bit, if you'd like to see more I also have super up close video swatches on almost all the clionadh iridescent multichromes in natural light so I feel I was able to capture them the way they look irl! :)

[@MC-ko2mx]

@@brainsbeauty Thank you for the detailed response! Off to check your video swatches out :)

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

I LOVE my Salt New York palette for travel!! It saves me so much space and weight! I can fit all my eyeshadows, blush, bronzer, and highlighter in that one palette, and everything feels super secure and protected. I love it! 👌🏻

[@virginiagirl6628]

I definitely want to try more indie brands. You look gorgeous! Not an indie brand, but fyi for any other mature ladies watching, I have found the L’Oréal age perfect 4-in-1 balm to be amazing! It doesn’t stick to texture, it just looks smooth and natural.

[@maryannford7665]

Thank you for sharing this with us. What kind of coverage does it have?

[@simoneclarke5104]

I have been transitioning to Indie brands this year. The quality is so much better than anything you buy in Sephora💕

[@katiealexis1207]

I’m so happy to see Salt New York in this video! In recent months it’s all I’ve been using!

[@vickinoble4744]

Mel Thompson is the one who caused me to be addicted to Sydney Grace. Their stuff is AMAZING!!!!

[@erykahhobgood]

The sneaky balm from SaltNY is my absolute favorite. So glad they’re getting more recognition!

[@emo333vampire]

i live the Salt Sneaky Balm! in all my 44 years on this planet, i’ve never found a better complexion product! 😍

[@erykahhobgood]

@@emo333vampire yes! I have rosacea and it covers and blends beautifully on top. I’m wearing it for my wedding day!

[@emo333vampire]

oh wonderful! i’m also in the rosacea club, and it’s hecka gentle on my reactive skin! and i too am engaged, so perhaps i’ll do the same and wear it on my wedding day too! i’m glad you’re able to get married with all this covid nonsense! 💙

[@mdh1974]

That case looks like it would hold some single shadows! All makeup in one case!?! Sidney Grace always looks Amazing everytime I see someone using their products!!

[@marias4681]

The salt ny sneaky balm is a beautiful formula for anyone interested in ordering from them I highly recommend. On light makeup days I use it as concealer and run out the door. Buildable for fuller coverage as well!

[@Thetinyfit]

Just came across a few days ago and not this. It’s a sign!

[@amandadelatorre3790]

I couldn’t be more excited you’re reviewing these!!! SG and salt are some of my favs!!! The SG cream shadows have taken over my life. I mix like a bazillion together to get a perfect custom color almost every day bc they never break down and they look so beautiful on mature lids. If you’re looking to dive into indie shadows, check out Emme, glaminatrix and adept.

[@cristianasaras6898]

Glad to see Sydney Grace getting recognition I’ve been using their shadows for a few years now best eyeshadow formula out there imo

[@patsyroyal]

I'm obsessed with Salt New York, specifically the Sneaky Balm skin tints. That particular product is not in your reviews but I love it. It has taken the place of my foundation. It's not full coverage but works great with my older, textured, yet also oily skin.

[@techwoman2]

Me too

[@FourJaysFour]

It's good to hear someone say it has worked on oily skin!!

[@MaedayLove]

I would love to see my indie brands and cruelty free brands!! I’m definitely bored of the Sephora/Ulta traditional companies. Indie brands feel like they are making something that is exciting!

[@pujaghosh2260]

My fav salt New York palette set up is her sneaky balm skin tint, a blush, a bronzer, a highlight (all salt) then powders on the second half. Usually 4 Viseart tiny pans ( one that doubles as a brow shade), a Besame face powder pan. Then the three magnetic brushes from million dollar brows. Then I have a full face to travel with.

[@tanaziegler]

I love the elf putty brush for creams as well, but I find it's too dense for my salt New York products.. I use a way softer a little fluffier brush & it does not pick up any foundation like when I use the putty brush(I played around with a ton of diff brushes but even the elf stippling brush works a little better)... def love salt New York products, she knows her creams/balms.. Also love sydney grace.. the mel thompson palette(ita called tiny marvels) is amazing & they have so many great singles... this was fun.. there are SOOO many amazing indie brands out there...❤ Ps. I'm pretty sure there is room in the salt New York palette so you have room to slide them over & take them out without digging into them...bc I have the smaller palette & there is the same room, so pretty sure its intentional!

[@dreadreaundrea]

I’ve been so into cream products just this year! I had super oily skin before so it was a no go for me, but I’ve noticed my skin is changing and cream products are so beautiful on my skin!

[@mbwhims]

I was just thinking about using my Salt NY stuff right now when I saw this video! They did have a super long delay recently with their palates stuck on a ship that couldn't port. Anyway those cream tints are soooo good. That light medium bronzer is my favorite no makeup bronzer. It's sheer, but just enough to look natural not absent. The tones are perfect. I want to try her sneaky balm too. Plus love the whole sustainability aspect of the brand.

[@Anna-of1nn]

The best sydney grace palettes are mel thompson's collab and enudring love. And their loose highlighters are fantastic

[@Patti-1962]

My all time favorite video.... just about great makeup. Any time I see Sidney Grace products reviewed, the influencer just RAVES about them!! AND, I LOVE a deep green shadow!❤️❤️

[@vzeimen]

Ive been super interested in Salt New York. I love the idea of how versatile the products seem. I agree on the packaging but maybe it's the right size to lay an eyeliner or lip product or even a brush in the extra space.

[@sophiafasoldt3661]

Thank you for reviewing these brands. I have had my eye on Half-Caked and Sydney Grace for a while and now I might place some orders! Please do more indie brands in the future!

[@jill_the_organized_hoarder]

I swear there isn’t much better than Sydney Grace!!! I am so glad u r trying their products! The eye look is so dang good!!

[@jesse07670]

nabla has amazing cheek products! (my favorite powder bronzer and highlighter formulas are from them), they're available at ulta which is killer. also lethal cosmetics is a great place for eyeshadow! they have a build your own palette program so you can literally chose what eyeshadows you want it's so cool

[@katieharris7219]

Girl!!! One word: Phytosurgence. Their cream shadows and cream blushes are other worldly!!!! There is a shade called "deeply rooted" which is just like that Mac shadow you where talking about in the video. I know you'll love it! Sydney Grace and Salt NY and Half Caked are all amazing! I'm so glad to hear you talk about them. I'm also a fan of Moira too. They have some duochromey liquid and cream shadows that are really good...and very inexpensive. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jocelynsloan7801]

I was so against cream products and now I’m obsessed. It’s just faster and I can use the same brush for foundation, bronzer and blush. ELF cream blush, Patrick Ta cream bronzer, no highlighter necessary because the creams provide a nice little sheen.

[@ash965]

OMG! I love salt! I just restocked literally everything. The founder kiki is amazing. Such a great video promoting these brands. :)

Omg finally its happening! My fave gal is finally trying my favorite indie brand! Also, everyone should order the tiny marvels palette that was a collab with the late , amazing, wonderful Mel Thompson

[@theopiated]

My Salt New York order took *forever* to finally ship… like nearly three weeks, but I understand shipping time is rough for everyone, let alone smaller brands. Just a note if you’re trying to get something in time for an event or travel. I got pretty much everything in Taylor’s vid…bronzer, contour, blushes and highlights, plus the foundation, it was all perfect for travel! I can’t recommend their products enough (if you like cream and it works with your skin type)!

[@LunaArtemis9995]

The fact that Sidney Grace has depths for their eyeshadow palettes is so awesome. I’ll be trying the brand just for that reason. Thank you for mentioning them! Gorgeous look as always! 🤩❤️🙏🏽

Would be interested in seeing a review of the new Wayne Goss cream foundation and powder! And his poreless beauty puff looks interesting as well!

[@yensid4294]

Most people know Sydney Grace for their eye shadows but their blush & highlighters are also amazing. I made my own custom palette with several shades of blush & highlight from SG for much less than what a premade palette from a premium brand would cost. And the quality was bomb. The SG highlighters are my favorite by far in my collection. Salt NY has been on my radar for a while since you can essentially make your own palette & mix custom shades if you need to BUT I do not like cream products that do not dry down & remain balmy or that lift up my foundation. But I really like the idea of customization & personalization & hope more brands will do this by selling their products in removable magnetic pans & refillable packaging.

[@melaniemunroe1010]

I love Salt New York! I have all their products: sneaky balm foundation, bronzers, blushes, and two highlighters. Also I love Sydney grace eyeshadows!
