29 Amazing LGBTQ+ Owned Indie Brands to Support During Pride and Beyond!

As members of the LGBTQ+ community here on the Indie Mood, we are so excited that we have a platform with which to support it! One of the best parts of the indie community is its celebration of diversity, and LGBTQ+ owned brands can really thrive within the space. This Pride Month, consider supporting these (and other!) LGBTQ+ owned brands!

As a (not really) final note, remember that you don’t need to shop minority-owned brands only during “their” month. It’s important to support them year-round! We discovered many brands from this amazing list put together by the r/indiemakeupandmore subreddit!

LGBTQ+ Owned Makeup

Meera Beauty Co

Meera Beauty is owned and operated by BIPOC from different cultural diasporas, which they themed their first collection after! They’ve also released their newest collection, the House of Avarice, which is themed around the duality of sin. They’re masters of colorful, pigmented, and buttery eyeshadows in color stories to die for.

Folly Fire

Folly Fire is a vegan and cruelty-free brand that’s all about color, passion, and artistry. They have stunning lipsticks, eyeshadows, and blushes. I’m a huge fan of their Reali-tea highlighter and especially their vegan brushes. Their products are high quality and make a statement!

Fern and Clover Cosmetics

Fern and Clover Cosmetics is a bisexual and nonbinary-owned makeup brand that formulates handmade glosses and tinted balms. They started their brand in March 2021, and have so many more exciting releases on the way!

The Collective Cosmetics

Just like Indie Mood, The Collective Cosmetics was founded by two friends who have never met in real life. They create stunning limited edition collections with jaw-dropping shades of eyeshadow, lipstick, and highlighters. Their friendship is the driving force behind their brand, which is amazing.

Fyrinnae

Fyinnae is owned and operated by a cosmetic chemist that creates stunning makeup and fragrances. They make some of the best setting powders I’ve ever tried, and their fragrance blends are super popular. If you’re a fan of unique, shifting loose eyeshadows, they’re the shop for you.
