Adept Cosmetics is a mid range makeup brand from the United States, founded in 2017 by Sandra and Tom. It's best known for its Cyborg Choir multichrome palette, Ninhydrin purple and blue palette and Buttery, reflective shimmer eyeshadows.

Adept Cosmetics is an Asian-owned indie beauty brand founded in 2017 by husband-and-wife duo Sandra and Tom, built around small-batch eyeshadow palettes packed with multichromes, holochromes, and richly pigmented mattes that perform well above their indie price point. The line is fully cruelty-free, with vegan and talc-free options across most launches and a deliberate focus on creative, color-led palettes that stand apart from the muted neutrals that dominate prestige beauty.

The brand has built a loyal following on YouTube and Reddit indie beauty communities for its buttery formulas, magnetic refillable pans, and sustainability commitments: upcycled packaging and second-hand mirrors are used on over 40% of palettes, and customer reviews routinely place its shadow quality alongside far more expensive prestige brands. Hero palettes include Cyborg Choir, Ninhydrin, and Plain Jane.
