Sydney Grace Single Shadow Collection! In-Depth Swatches, Comparisons, + Thoughts! // Singles Week

[@Creamy_Goodness]

Sydney needs to collab with Lauren next!

[@makeupandtheology1821]

Yes!!!

[@Bookishcarmela]

I'm not sure if you mentioned it but Sydney Grace offers the mystery bags in light and deep options. There are some identical shades between the two but the transition shades are deeper and face products are suitable for deeper skin tones.

[@lindayoon3300]

Cool tones are my jam, and I’d rather support an indie brand like Sydney Grace than bougie brands like ND. I got the Enduring Love palette this year and I think singles are next! Thanks for the video, Lauren! Love your vibe and you have the best eye looks on YT!

[@barbarajean426]

I recently started my Sydney Grace collection. And I am in love. The formula is amazing and I also love how the shades don’t all run so bright and colorful. I love the neutral, cool tone they have. Sydney Grace and Looxi Beauty are my #1 when it comes to singles.

OMG !! I recieved the Sydney Grace and Mel Thompson palette today, I swatched the palette and all I said to myself was WOW THESE FEEL LIKE BUTTER !!!!!

[@taramisu9978]

I like Sydney Grace, Speedway is a great neutral for me, and I just ordered Troops. I like Colourpop and Makeup Geek also but my favorite shades were either discontinued or out of stock. So I am glad to have discovered Sydney Grace, nice video. :)

[@kam9543]

I have a list on my phone of Sydney grace, clionadh and terramoon singles that I want to pick up! My list will be growing during this singles week and I’m so excited! 💙

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

You should add the Nabla singles to that list. Their single shimmer shades are the best out there! Check out Nabla's website, there are live swatches of every single shadow and when you see how awesome they look in the swatch, keep in mind they're 10 times more amazing in person! Most of the shimmers are duochromes and the shade Water Dream is the most reflective, beautiful eyeshadow on Earth. Nabla's shimmers are the best eyeshadow formula I've found.

[@kam9543]

@@kristentrep5038 hi! I recently bought these nabla singles and I’m very happy with them: selfish, absinthe, glasswork, alchemy. The pan sizes are generous and I want more 😆

Same! In the morning when I'm getting ready for school I make time to watch my faviort beauty videos (there new videos ) and now I'm watching her and I've luckily had 40 minutes left ❤️

I made my first Sydney Grace order because of your recommendations! I'm in love with the formula.

Have you tried the enduring love palette? I’m sure you would LOVE it! It’s a cool toned dream :)

thank you for this video! i’ve been eyeing sydney grace specifically for some cool tone shadows. xx

[@joanb.]

I love my Sydney Grace singles! I'm so glad you're talking them up ❤

[@morganwalter651]

Love the single shadow videos!! It helps me refrain from buying new palettes when I have the same shade three times over already 😬 I would love if you remade the new Rawbeautykristi x Colourpop palette with singles!! I’m super tempted to buy it but wondering how easy it would be to find in singles

[@queencitybeautyx]

Such a fun video people never think of singles anymore!!!

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

This was so helpful! Thank you, Lauren! 💜✌🏻 As a cool toned Sydney Grace lover, I can definitely recommend the matte shade Winter Wonder. It's my most perfect transition shade of life (light skin tone). Also the pressed pigment called Tempest is out of this world incredible!! Definitely the best green, and one of the most special shades in my collection. 👌💚

[@fattychoccie]

I got SO excited when I saw the title had the words 'swatches' and 'Sydney Grace' - and then I saw that the video was 42 minutes long! 🤪😍 thank you so much ☺❤

[@karenrobinson7353]

Literally waiting for my order to arrive any minute in the mail! Got red chameleon, purple sky, tiara, hot stuff and puppy. Can’t wait.

[@sarahc5749]

Saving this for my future SG order. Moon landing is what I would consider a mushroom gray. Peace, Tiara, Troops, Admiral.... ugh love.

[@hobbes1482]

Thank you Lauren. Your presentation and descriptions of these gorgeous eyeshadows was absolutely amazing.

[@defectiveshark7602]

Man, I've been hearing about this brand from everyone I follow. I'm really hoping I can afford to try them someday soon, their greens alone look so amazing

[@lusianamartinez4513]

I was WAITING for a video like this. Loove your content Luren!

[@swood2603]

I have purchased about 16 Sydney Grace single shadows. They are gorgeous. The mattes, metallics, and shimmers all work very well. I bought most of them when few companies were making cool tones a year or two ago. I have some of the same ones you do. I have also had great experiences with the purples. Recently bought Rushed, Flannel, and Regal. Thank you for the comparison swatches, as they are very helpful.

[@mi-land854]

Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the time stamps! love you ❤

omg I have been building my perfect 4 pan for like the past week since I couldn't find good swatches of rover, somber, and frosted morning next to each other. this is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@KateHasCats]

Some of my favorite SG shadows are purples! Particularly: As If, Magenta Dreams (duochrome), Totally Worth It (this one might be my top fave), Deliverer, Fierce (duochrome) and Flannel.

[@dianeschicker861]

thank you for the video and you did a great job showing the colors, i replaced all my palettes with sydney grace. so far i have 120 shades in sydney grace . when i check trendmoods for new things coming out i can pretty much dupe all of the shadow palettes coming out with the best quality on the market. i am 60 and fair skin. i also agree with you about not enough light transition shades in palettes for my skintone. happy holidays to all

[@danarose7644]

So excited to see this video ! I’ve been doing research gearing up for my SG order and I was hoping you would do a video on them during single shadows week! Thank you so much !

[@carolynaverill]

My Sydney Grace singles are my most loved shadows for sure. I think it's really interesting to hear your thoughts and I appreciate how you describe shadows - because you can describe what someone might like in a shadow even if you're looking for something else (a la Winter Garden). Winter Garden is the perfect duochrome for me because I don't want super intense, shifting, glittering duochromes. They are STUNNING on you, but wouldn't work as well for my life. Turtle Doves and Pismo are two of my most used shades because they're just so easy and everyday. At the top would also be Peace, Immortal, Blushed, Haven, Regal, Tiara, Spring Fling, Troops, Plummet, Paris, The Ballet... I mean really, I could go on. I have 42 singles from them and am looking forward to seeing what else they release because their formula is the best!

[@blondecarla]

I am drooling over Troops and Winter Garden 😍

[@heidiscorestrengthpilatesa1283]

I love this video, I've been thinking about getting more Sydney Grace shades! But I think you called Speedway Pismo at like 32:27ish?? I noticed because I thought, "ooh, I need that color!"

[@erinpalmer9551]

I just placed an order with them on Saturday! It was so fun to sit here with my morning coffee and see you swatch a bunch of the cool toned shimmers I picked out. Really looking forward to getting my fingers in those colors when it arrives 💖

You have a great collection! I love the brand but one of my duo chromes red chameleon got hard pan. I just went through mine and reorganized them while I watched your video, lol. Peace is one of my favorites it’s so wearable and pretty! Thanks for sharing your collection it’s impressive !

[@kayla4702]

I recently learned about SG last year and was able to make a purchase at their July sale this year. I ended up with 12 shadows and the 12 pan palette, and I'm obsessed for sure! I have plans for another purchase soon. Lol.

[@dorothyb6970]

I don’t know if you know this but Scarab is literally Red Chameleon, and that was on purpose. They just renamed it for the palette.

[@Seb61709]

Damn this video is so good and so satisfying. Thank you so much

Hopefully grabbing these today on the black Friday sale. Using your links Lauren!!

I have nearly every single that they offered in colors that appealed to me. And every palette and bundle. A few creams too. I think I have over 100 singles. I’m a fan, if you can’t tell.

Holy cow, those 9 greens are gorgeous! And nothing redundant.

I've skipped the last 2 Christmas in July sales, and I wouldn't say I regret it, but it's def the best time to get deals on her products. I still haven't tried anything from the company.

Gonna take some notes in hopes there are some good Black Friday deals on Sydney Grace! I'd love to try some out, but I've got to narrow down my list.

Hey idk if someone said this already but the only existing shade that is in the tiny marvels palette is red chameleon lol they are the same shade:). Btw thank you for doing all these videos I’ve been so into single shadows and I have gotten so many from seeing them on your channel it really helps me cause I can’t tell much from like just a picture of the shadow on the website lol.i literally sit with a pen and paper writing down shades lmao :):)

[@galacticgabs]

hi i just have to say your blush is everything😍

[@yensid4294]

I just got the Beauty Basic Bundle & Danny's Dream Bundle recently. I wish Mountain Trail would come back into stock, I really wanted that & substituted Danny's Dream (which is beautiful but had a few shades of matte green that were similar to what I'd already purchased from Devinah) I just put in another order last night, too bad I didn't wait to see your video since it included Winter's Garden. I only order 4-5 singles at a time as a rule. I put in a small order to Terra Moons as well. I really wish Indie brands had better descriptions & swatch photos. I should probably search for swatch videos & take notes/make a list. Thank you for swatching your beautiful SG shadows 💜

[@claudial4141]

They mentioned on their Instagram that they are discontinuing the bundles. So if you like the shades I think you need to make your own. It’s too bad, I love their bundle options

[@yensid4294]

@@claudial4141 Yeah, the downside of trying to dupe shades on the internet or fill holes is : you end up inadvertantantly ordering the exact same shade of dark green that you already have (they have different names but look exactly alike) OR you end up buying a single of a shade that came in the bundle you just bought because the description/photo doesn't match how it looks when you use it & you didn't memorize the individual shade names( I never remember the names of eyeshadows for some reason) I even checked before ordering too. Oh well, it's always nice to have dupes of certain shades especially if you're making your own custom palettes. The trail bundle had those beautiful matte mustard browns & golds that I couldn't find individually on the SG website. I hang onto my Gemini palette just for those at this point.

[@Sonicman415]

Mmmmmmmm, cool tones... mmmmm Your eye looks are so good. The slight blush draping. Mmmmm yes.

[@cynthiasstylemua9822]

Somber reminds me of Satin Taupe. So pretty!

Thanks for the fun video. Sad that Purple Sky is gone

[@AvilaCranfill]

I just got some SG shadows during their restock! Two of my favorites are Thrilled and mint green, they make an easy cool toned green look!

[@SourEggz]

I had a couple shadows do the same thing as Peach Fuzz - like, I didn’t drop them. It isn’t a huge issue since... it makes it easier to pan them (first of all) and they are shadows I don’t always gravitate to. I ordered mine two years ago (I think) when they were getting rid of many of their bundles and therefore had these crazy, crazy deals. I dunno, they are beautiful. Everyone talks about their mattes (and they are so good) but their foils are amazing, too.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

*Hi Lauren! In my opinion, Sydney Grace and Nabla have the best single shadows and Clionadh has the best multichromes. If you haven't tried Nabla's Single Shadows, part the shimmers, oh my noodle, you're missing out on the BEST, most reflective duochromes and shimmers you'll ever see! The shades Water Dream, Millennium, Glasswork, Alchemy, Selfish, Absinthe, Snowberry, Grenadine, Pegasus, Juno Moon, Luna and Virgin Island, just to name a few, are TRULY some of the most GLORIOUS eyeshadows you will ever see in your life. Nabla's website has live swatches of every shade. They look killer in the swatch videos but when you get them in front of you to touch, feel and use, you won't want to use anything else. I hope you'll check them out!* 🥰💋🤟🤩

[@carolineosterman2420]

Thank you for this video. I've never tried Sydney Grace before but plan on purchasing from them when their holiday sale goes live. I have a list of shades I want and had it handy when watching this video,.

[@heidiscorestrengthpilatesa1283]

Lots of great info! I am interested in more similar singles shades for the neutral tones in both the Enduring Love and Tiny Marvels palettes. Thank you!

[@sarahwoods4282]

I have the Danny Boy bundle (the more green one) and I LOVE the mattes in it. The shimmers are a bit much for me, which really isn't my style, but would be wonderful for you if you like electric, bright metallics.

[@suzannedendunnen7209]

I really want to try some of these shadows! I've never tried anything from this brand. I love the new background!

[@Fluidx808]

Interesting things to note: I ordered a couple of shimmer shadows for my mature self. The staying power is not what they claim. Not only did the shimmer transfer onto my upper lid immediately, but the shadow overall did not last on my dry, primed eyelid for more than a couple of hours. Did I like the shimmer? Yes, as a mature woman, it was perfect. But the lack of staying power didn't make it any better than other brands I suspect. Also I left a review on their site, and noticed that they only publish 5 star reviews. Not one single eye shadow had less than a 5 star review. I'm not sure that's legit. Will wait and see if my 3 star review makes it on to their site. Only then will I know if they filter reviews to show only the best and not criticism.

[@amycarranza96]

When you were mentioning the shimmers that were more metallic than others that's because SG has different formulas, the really metallic ones are pressed pigments while the others are their regular shimmers so naturally the pressed pigment ones are more intense.

[@alliea635]

I love the big singles palette the slate gray blues by the oranges 🤩🤩

[@ayalashoshani986]

yes!! I have been waiting for this video - thank you so much for filming it!❤ You have an amazing collection!😍

[@jordanpilant8730]

I’ve been very interested in Sydney grace shadows!!! I’m excited to watch this video

[@jaycreswell7008]

I first tried them last year in Christmas in July (that's their best sales and they are great sales). I saved all year to buy more this year in the same sale. They now dominate my singles. Best matte formula I've tried. It's hard pressed with little to no fall out or kick up. But the pigment is really good, they blend super easily, build on one another beautifully and last great on the eye. The shimmers are great quality too but I prefer Juvia's shimmer formula, they have the rainbow bright shades. They have some great unique mattes but if I had any complaint it would be that they lack the bright rainbow colours. They still give drama but it's neutral, a little more muted in tone, jewel tones for the most part. The swatches on their site are the truest to shade I've ever seen. I bought 50 odd shadows and didn't get a single one that disappointed me. Seriously no regrets. Love them.

[@jaycreswell7008]

Oh and customer service is EXCELLENT. I'm in Australia and they made the whole ordering thing stress free.

[@kaitlynkearns1894]

I’ve had bad luck with Sydney grace mattes. They ALWAYS have hard pan! I love the brand tho, so I use a tweezer to scrape it when I use them. I wish they were as creamy as people say they are 😢

[@TheRachieeWay]

Not sure what is wrong with my undertone cause none of those cool tones shimmers look half as pretty on me ): But the shadow formula is so good Im always torn. Their mattes literally blend themselves out
