One of the best reasons to review indie brands is to actually have options upon options of single eyeshadows to choose from. If you love building your own palettes or prefer to augment your existing collection by adding specific shades one by one, you just have to give indie brands a chance. It’ll surprise no one that Sydney Grace eyeshadows remain a staple in these year-end favorites list; every time I test new shades, I’m always like, “They’re so good, and I just want EVERY shade to be made in these formulas.”
Give Me Glow is an incredible source for matte shades, particularly cool-toned shades, and I think very few brands really have the extensive range that they do, since they cover neutral to neon. Clionadh released a few Multichromes that came in under $10 (when converted to USD at current exchange rates), which was nice to see. Moira is a new brand for me in 2022, but their Starshow Shadow Pots were a new release for 2022 in a type of formula I’ve always enjoyed: semi-loose eyeshadow.

Glossover Averages
If you’re unfamiliar with how I like to do my year-end favorites, here’s the low down: I pull from the products I reviewed in 2022, regardless of whether they were new, limited edition, or an established range I’ve only just gotten around to reviewing. These are personal favorites, so they may or may not be the highest rated products reviewed during the year (though they will tend to be better rated, naturally!). (You can check out the best of 2021 posts if you missed last year’s.)
