The Danessa Myricks Beauty Thread

[sister13]

Unless I’m mistaken, we don’t yet have a thread dedicated to this amazing brand and Founder/CEO, Danessa Myricks. She launched her line at Sephora in February 2021. I have been so impressed with everything I’ve tried from her brand! I have been following her on Instagram for many years prior to that and was so excited for her to come to my favorite beauty retailer, Sephora. As a makeup artist, she always seems so genuine, warm and positive, and her line was founded on inclusivity and creativity.

On her website, she has instructional videos, some free and some for subscribers or purchase. She does incredible looks with color, but I’ve always been impressed with her complexion looks on all skin colors, tones, and textures. I started following her when I was working part time as a makeup artist at Sephora and I wanted to become more familiar with makeup colors on darker skin tones.

My first purchases from her line were the Colorfix pigments, which can be used anywhere, can be mixed together, and are incredibly versatile. They come in mattes and shimmers/foils in a massive range of colors. Most recently I have absolutely fallen in love with herDanessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork Vol. IV: Transcendence Palette - Illuminating Eye & Face Pigments . It is a phenomenally stunning palette with shades that are guaranteed to turn heads!

Even though I’ve even on a foundation no buy, I couldn’t resist her Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Serum Foundationand Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Glow Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide .

I’ve added a pic of my current DM collection below. I’m missing a couple items from this pic, so I’ll update once I have everything together. 

So, please join me in sharing your loves and observations and pics from this great beauty line! Please post here and tag me if you catch announcements of any beauty releases or other news!

Yummy Flush Blurring Balm in Primadonna and Bellini 🍑🍒🍓

Swatches of Primmadonna, this is just one swipe with my finger tip, for all 3. These are very pigmented and buildable.

 

I like these so far, they are long lasting for me. They wear nicely over my makeup and I like them on my lips too 😉

[sister13]

Nice - those are really pretty, thanks for sharing them here! Definitely on my list for a future purchase! @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

You'll love em @sister13 they are so pretty,  a little drying as lippies but I'm working on it 😉 lol

[Titian06]

Wow!  Gorgeous, @CynthieLu ! 🤩

[CynthieLu]

I'm really loving them @Titian06 thank you! 😄🧡🩷

[sister13]

FYI, 30% of blurring balm powder at Danessa Myricks direct! (I thought she was holding a coffee, lol.)

@sister13 , I saw this and was annoyed at the candle in the product, didn't even realize there was a promo code 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

[sister13]

It’s so hilarious what our eyes/brains pick up on! 🤣🤣🤣 @danielledanielle

[sister13]

Thanks @danielledanielle !!  I missed this notification! I saw this in her Instagram today, launch day. I’ll look forward to trying it! 

 

 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @danielledanielle !  I put a Notify Me on the lightest shade the other day.  Companies don't seem to feel obligated to put a light shade in eye palettes yet they always include black. 😖  I completely forgot about this thread.  I'm glad you're on it! 🙂

[CynthieLu]

I just finished watching Danessa's live stream on Instagram for Teach Me Tuesday (it was fun!) It featured the (elusive to my Canadian Self lol) Transcendence Light Work 4 palette along with other items ‌💚‌ 

Next week the theme will be mature skin ‌💖‌ and she's bringing on her Mom. In case any one wanted a heads up.

I really want to catch next week's! 

[Titian06]

The only DM I have is the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Universal .  I never thought anything could unseat my longtime favorite Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Value Size - 2 oz/ 60 mL , but the DM has.

[CynthieLu]

Ooooh tell me more @Titian06. Are you still liking it? Do you use it everywhere or do you use a separate primer for eyeshadow? I like mine alot,  I can tell when I draw in my eyebrows how good a primer it is 😉

[Titian06]

@CynthieLu - I'm still loving the DM!  I use it on my entire face with a separate primers on my eyebrows and eyelids.  I'll give it a try on my eyebrows.  If it's eye safe, I'd be willing to try it as an eyelid primer too.

[CynthieLu]

I don't know if it's eye safe but I found compared to what I was using it had much better grip for my eyebrows 😁 I'm definitely going to have to look into this. @Titian06 

Are you curious about the other shades? I totally am 😁

[CynthieLu]

@Titian06 in the Sephora "How To Use Section" it says you can tap it on to prime your eyelids *phew!* it is eye safe 🤩

[Titian06]

@CynthieLu - I just read the How to Use section too! 😄  Think I'll give it a try as an eye primer too.  I'm about out and don't plan to repurchase my long-time favorite which has been reformulated.  Thanks for such a timely post! 😘

[CynthieLu]

I was on a mission lol I felt like perhaps it was something I should have looked at before using it on my brows! @Titian06 ooops 😅

Part two of my Danessa Myricks collection: 

Found my missing Metals Pigment, and my new Yummy Skin Flushed balm & Dewy Cheek/Lip palette arrived.

(Part one was posted earlier.)

Photo contents: 

Spoiler

Colorfix mattes, metallic creams/foils, and glazes: pigments for use anywhere on the face and body. The mattes are good as cream eyeshadow, though they do dry down quickly and require fast blending. I like to mix the mattes with a tiny bit of Aquaphor Ointment to create creamy custom lipstick shades, and sometimes I do the same to customize blush—though I’ve also used the mattes as-is for blush. I’ve had some of these for a few years and they’ve yet to dry out in their tubes. I’ve actually used entire tubes of the black, white, and 3 primary shades (red, yellow, blue), and repurchased them. But some of these will take a long time to use up since I don’t use ‘em as often. I might swatch all of them later tonight. 

Dewy Cheek & Lip, Dew It Undercover - from my latest Sephora order. These are 4 emollient multi-use creams. Surprisingly, I chose the neutral nude palette over the more colorful one. Eh, I wanted to try shades I don’t have many of in my collection, to encourage and inspire me to find different uses for each nude shade. I’ll cross-post my swatch photo (from the hauls thread) below; the deepest shade looks more purple in that photo than it does in person. It's more of a deep rich brownie batter shade with a purple undertone.  

Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed, Golden Hour - also from my latest Sephora order. Feels and applies just like the original Yummy Skin Blurring Balm on my skin. I had no trouble building it up, sheering it out, and blending it with my fingers on one cheek during my short wear-test. It seems pigmented enough to work as a tinted balm on my lips, so I’ll try that sometime soon. 

Metals Pigment and Glitter: the 3 jars of multi-use loose powder pigment. I use them primarily as eyeshadow and eyeliner. As with any loose pigment, these work best with a mixing medium like Mehron Mixing Liquid, Inglot Duraline, etc. I’ve mixed a couple of them into Colorfixes for blush and eyeshadow. Cherry Moon is a red metallic holo. Fairytale is a warm purple metallic holo. Daydreaming is an iridescent blue to purple metallic. 

Colorfix Magic Set & Seal - a mixing medium similar to the ones I mentioned above. A friend gifted me this and I haven’t used it yet; I’m waiting til I finish my current bottle of Mehron (almost empty). 

Infinite Chrome Micropencils, shades Emerald and Lemon Quartz: duo/multichrome gel eyeliners. Pricy compared to some indie brands’ multichrome liners, but I like ‘em. They’re very smooth and don’t crumble during application. They’re not fully waterproof: when my eyes are in irritation mode, tears sometimes smudge these liners in the outer bottom corner. But they do hold up well otherwise. Here's my old swatch photo from elsewhere on BIC: 

I might still have a jar of Evolution Powder somewhere, and I could swear I have a Power Bronzer. Still haven't found my clear Dew Wet Balm either. Maybe they’ll pop up as I continue to randomly find misplaced makeup at home. 😄 

[CynthieLu]

Part 2 of your collection is impressive!

@WinglessOne. Like wow!

Thank you for sharing everything 🙏 ❤️ 

I like her micro pencils too. I hear people find they use up quickly but they really are so smooth and vibrant, I think they are pretty fun.

I haven't run out yet thou 😋

I could be wrong but I think they are safe for the waterline? But I'll research that a bit, I could be totally wrong.

I think during the upcoming sale I might grab a full size blurring balm, I love it as a primer but I don't know if I'd stray away from universal or try for the colored options. Decisions 😅 they are not available in my area to check out in store and blind buys are hard.  

Are you still enjoying the dewy lip/cheek palette?

How is the blush blurring balm holding to wear?
