What's your favorite indie brand for lip products?
Kaleidos’ Lip Clays are quite nice! Those stand out to me.

Black Moon Cosmetics. Their liquid lipstick formula is great, and they have the alternative colors I love. I really like SugarPill, too.
So far, I’ve only tried Sugarpill and Ofra’s liquid lipstick formulas, and I enjoy both, with Sugarpill’s being more transfer proof. Both feel very comfortable and are easy to apply and wear. The one I do want to try next is the Kaleidos Lip Clays, as I’ve only heard good things about them.
Not sure if Summer Fridays is an indie brand but I swear by their Butter Balm. It really does heal and protect. I wish they’d come out with lipsticks because I’d grab them.
I haven’t really ordered lip products from indie brands because many of them just offer lip glosses/liquid lipsticks etc. But I am keen to purchase any lipsticks that suit me if the brands do make them. I now regret not getting Coloured Raine’s Queendom lipstick of a few years ago.
Lisa Eldridge, hands down. I love both her matte Velvet and sheer Lucent lipstick formulas and her gloss formula is one of my top 3 favorites with Fenty’s Gloss Bomb and Laneige’s Glowy balm.
I’ve purchased from from each lip product launch since her first and have found some holy grails – Velvet Blush lipstick and Gloss are the perfect MLBB shade for me; Velvet Jazz is one of my favorite reds; and I just received Night Thoughts, from her newest release, and it’s my favorite Black Honey type of sheer brown/berry color.
Is Lisa Eldridge considered an indie? Because I have been really into her lipsticks for the last year or so. I almost always reach for one of her mattes. I am getting to the point where I forget my other lipsticks.
