If I Could Recommend You JUST ONE Palette From 10 Indie Brands...

[@branwynnemay]

“I know my eyelids don’t naturally sparkle, but… they should.” I don’t think I’ve ever related to a statement more than this. 😂

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Truer words were never spoken

[@AnnieWiz1978]

I did hear that right I love that❤😂

[@daniellezadora7637]

I'd love to see a neutral version of this indy roundup!!

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I will film it soon! I am finished filming my indiemas content but after Christmas it’ll be my top priority ☺️

[@annihilxte]

They discontinued nearly natural 😭 I wanted to get it but it’s gone! They had a bundle of the singles after the palette was gone but I waited too long to order and I’m so sad! Definitely the palette I regret not buying this year. But I love your other recs and so excited about the neutral videos! I’ve been so into colorful palettes but I definitely need a more updated neutrals collection so I’d love to get some more. I really like the New Neutrals Remixed from Gloss Gods, the one neutral palette I’ve bought since discovering indie makeup 😂 thank you for this Amy! You’re the best ❤❤❤

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Stop I didn’t know that it was discontinued!! I’m so sad 😩😩

[@annihilxte]

@@AmyLovesMakeupI know right, me too! Faerie Skye on YT/IG said it in one of their videos and I was like NOOOO I couldn’t get it at the time so I was super sad! I hope they bring it back because WHY would they discontinue such a stunning beloved, staple neutral palette!!!

[@cherylb_88]

You can still find it on selling apps. I was stupid and sold mine so I bought another one off someone else lol

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I was late to the party and built my own.

[@anniecortes585]

Last I checked around November sales the brand had the singles for sale

[@yensid4294]

That Nearly Natural palette from Glaminatrix has been on my Wish List for a while. I've been super curious about Blend Bunny too, they do deep but vibrant mattes really well. I just don't need anymore eyeshadow in my life right now, I don't even wear makeup everyday & it takes me forever to even use up concealer or lip gloss lol. I'm not 100% a neutrals person but when I wear color it is in a subtle or subdued way so as far as pastels go, it would be shimmers that would interest me not mattes. There were a lot of beautiful palettes released this year, Not buying was truly difficult 😊

[@marlenegomes4008]

Also I love that you included menagerie. Latelly nobody talks about them

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I haven’t tried their more recent releases but I figured they were a good brand since I do have quite a collection of their palettes ☺️

[@FloatingSpark]

The heavy blush and red lipstick looks AMAZING on you!!

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Thank you ☺️

[@AnnieWiz1978]

I totally know what u mean about melt their mattes are where they shine Your make up is beautiful here thanks for the great options i basically watch what everyone loves or hates and buy based on my likes within that framework and im never really ever disappointed! If i am its formulawl wise not compatible with my skin❤😊

[@tiffanykennedybeauty]

Your hair and makeup look so beautiful in this video, so glamorous!!!

[@FeiLiSha12]

That lipstick color looks amazing on you!

[@kittykatkountry1317]

I agree with u on the melt shimmers. The mattes are amazziiiinnnnngggg tho

[@ceciliagovea]

You look gorgeous in this video, Amy! Thanks for this list!

[@nunumakeup85]

Loved this ranking, and indeed The Sickly Sweet is as far the best pastel palette. I am glad I added to my collection.

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

It's so good!

[@marlenegomes4008]

Omg ! I love this concept.

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Angie always has the best video ideas! ☺️

[@lauraochoa228]

Neutrals please!

[@jamiefilippone3389]

I want some neutral shadows from an indie brand and I would literally love a video on that. Nearly Neutral isn’t in stock so I was thinking maybe minka from adept?

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Minka is very intense and beautifully, maybe a little less of the romantic vibes of nearly natural but still a great one

[@daniellezadora7637]

Minka is pretty I own it but imo most of the shadows are more like thick glitters..not chunky tho..Its sparkly and intense! There's like 3 formulas in the pallet..the 2 mattes are weak imo and the multichromes are smoother but the shifts are weak too..I love the glittery shades for special occasions but there's much better options out there for every day..

[@kouzelnice]

I recently swatched all my palettes and was surprised to find that Ghost Town from Nomad has very similar shades to Glaminatrix Nearly Nude... I still prefer Glaminatrix but that's mostly because I am not a huge of fan of the cool teal blue shades❤

[@jamiefilippone3389]

Wow thanks to everyone for responding!!! Super helpful 🥰

[@cherylb_88]

Bellabeautebar sun and the sea palette is one of my absolute favorites and it has a lot of neutrals with amazing multichromes. I bought the minka when it launched and barely ever use it because it’s so intense with a lot of fallout.

[@michelehartshaw8659]

I am surprised you didn't mention BBB or ER. But I get it.. Lol😘💜

[@melissapuppe4104]

I was thinking the same thing exactly.

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I didn’t mention them because for BBB I only have three palettes and Ensley Reigh I haven’t even tried. I ordered a palette but it’s not here yet. The whole point was to share the top recommendations of brands I have a lot of experience with ☺️

[@siriussslate6832]

Omg thanks so much for linking angie's video and making this epic video

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Thank you for watching ❤️☺️

[@susanpeltier3333]

Loved this video so much Amy! And the my favorite should be your favorite thing just made me laugh! And oh the ones I have you did pick my favorites…like Oden’s Eye! Oh and your hair looks soooo pretty!

[@kayla4702]

So I reallly have Fantasy Cosmetica's Rogue palette on my wishlist. I keep going back and forth if I need the full palette or just the singles bundle of the Rogue shimmers. Lol.

[@Emma-Ghanima]

i'm glad to hear that shroud has now a better shimmer formula, i like their colorstories but never bought from them because the shimmers werent intense enough. I really like the dark academia colorstory so i hope to see soon some reviews and hope its as beautiful as it seems 🤩

[@WendyandBradPitt]

Something is going on with Shroud. I ordered the Dark Academia palette at launch, over 4 weeks ago, and I haven't heard anything since. I've emailed multiple times, sent DMs, posted on their IG and they haven't responded once. I wouldn't buy anything from them until you can confirm they are actually shipping their items.

[@Emma-Ghanima]

@@WendyandBradPitt Wooow 😨 so you are not alone since there is not one review on youtube !! i thought maybe the palette just launched since its available for purchase but no video on it... thank you for alerting me !! 🙏 i undestand indy brands can have problems/set backs but the LEAST they can do is communicate to clients 😓

[@WendyandBradPitt]

@@Emma-Ghanima I saw someone post on another video a similar issue but they said they heard from the brand that they are behind. I seriously thought something bad happened to them since they disappeared after announcing the launch. I ended up doing a chargeback on my credit card. I'm very disappointed because I really wanted that palette. I had also ordered an empty Moonfall palette since I owned the singles. I've bought once before from them. Yes, thr shipping was long but at least it shipped. All I have received from them now was an order confirmation. It's ridiculous.

[@cathyamerine5140]

What color is your lipstick,it’s beautiful on you.

[@careyloveslipstick525]

Love this video! ❤️🙌🏻😍🫶🏻

[@crystalgale15]

I love your makeup look in the video especially your lips. May I know what lipstick you are using? I tried looking in the description box but can't find it. Thank you!

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Thank you!! I’m wearing Buried Lipstick from Fantasy Cosmetica ☺️❤️

[@crystalgale15]

@@AmyLovesMakeup thank you for responding! 💙

[@MG-ie2ps]

Thank you for all of these great ideas! Do you have any suggestions for those of us with sensitive eyes who want to stick to eyeshadows that are approved for use around the eyes?

[@DesArtandInk]

idk i feel like a lot of the smaller indie companies don't list this info on their website. but colourpop is one i know of that has an asterisk next to the shades in the palette description that aren't technically approved for use around the eyes and off the top of my head, i know the aurora struck palette is one of those that uses only approved shades.

[@daniellezadora7637]

@@DesArtandInk agreed 👍 was Gina say the same thing 😆

[@DesArtandInk]

oh the channel MakeUpJustForFun also pays attention to that sort of thing so she might be a good resource for you :)

[@MG-ie2ps]

Thanks! I agree and love both ColourPop and Makeupforfun. Amanda led me to Nomad as another brand with that info indicated. I think the indies Amy shared look so exciting that I wish there was an easy way to get that info for all of them

[@RAINtears91]

love the nearly natural palette! and i cant wait to get the bailey palette i ordered :D

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I hope it gets to you fast!

[@theoriginalmadgeylou]

does anyone know if blend bunny palette pans are removable? i'm tempted by sickly sweet but the order of the colors is making my eye twitch

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

They are not magnetic but facesbygina on Instagram has a reel showing how to depot them I believe

[@theoriginalmadgeylou]

awesome thank you 😊

[@jordanalexis214]

What indie brand would you recommend that’s more affordable?? I’d love to try more indie makeup, but can’t spend $50+ on a pallet

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I would recommend Blend Bunny or Cosmic Brushes with an affiliate code and or a sale really good pricing for what you get. I just did a whole videos swatching every cosmic brushes palette ☺️

[@1beefybroad]

Recommend me a Nomad palette ☺️

[@LittleGolferMom]

Do you have an inside scoop? Glaminatrix Nearly Neutral palette is GONE! I would've loved that one!🥺

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I did not know 😅 I feel so bad for raving about it now

[@cherylb_88]

It’s been discontinued unfortunately but you buy it on selling apps. They’re bringing back sugar and spice next month and it’s a great palette. Although not nearly as good as nearly natural.

[@LittleGolferMom]

It's okay, now I have an online search project! lol@@AmyLovesMakeup

Great recommendations and showing a great understanding of the indie brands.

Cool video

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Thank you ☺️

[@Soulecitou]

I love this concept! It definitely helps as a newbie to many indie brands ❤

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I'm so glad!

[@WendyandBradPitt]

The palettes you chose are beautiful but maybe you should have chosen palettes that are still available. Wasn't that the point of the video? You can't get the Glaminatrix palette or the Oden's Eye palette.

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

I did not realize that the Glaminatrix palette was discontinued nor that Oden’s Eye had already sold out. You’re completely right and if I could do the video over again I would. It’s been crazy posting a video every single day for indiemas and I should have done more research 😞

[@WendyandBradPitt]

@@AmyLovesMakeup I understand how crazy this time of year can be for content creators. I still loved your video. Your picks are beautiful representations of the brand. It's too bad they discontinue certain palettes. I really wanted that Glaminatrix palette.

[@theoccultlibrarian5386]

Nobody should be recommending anything from Shroud right now considering the owner just disappeared off of the face of the earth and hasn’t fulfilled any orders for months now. 🙄
