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!

I just saw this! 🤩

She said that she's releasing a new concealer with details on her Teach Me Tuesday Tommorow.

She didn't release a lot of info, but it's possibly geared for those who need more hydration in the eye area. 

I'm interested and intrigued. 😉

This is so neat! It’s always amazing seeing uniqueness, I love how so much thought goes into products while considering everyone’s specific makeup needs it’s fantastic 💫 @CynthieLu 

[sister13]

Yes! I was coming on to post this! So

exciting , I just love her complexion products so I bet this will be amazing!! I can never watch teach me Tuesdays but I’ll try to catch the repost if I can!  @CynthieLu

She's had so many exciting releases this year! I don't know what's in store for us but I really hope a tint with SPF is in our future 😀 @sister13 

How cool would it be if you get to try these! 

[sister13]

I was so thrilled to receive this lovely palette from Danessa Myricks to try and here’s my review and some other notes, and my first look using it. The palette came with this amazing fan and a slap bracelet.

I admit to being a little bugged at the erratic design of the palette when it was first teased but was intrigued by the looks and colors posted.

Okay and Am I the only one who only just realized that DREAM and Limitless make an “I” for “🩷 is 🩷” on the palette itself??!!

These colors are super silky and buttery, with DREAM being a vibrant multicolored rainbow. This made for a super easy rainbow eye, I just swiped each color of DREAM kind of vertically from lash line to above the crease, then blended the edges. I added Worthy, the peachy pink to the under eye. These colors kept catching the light in the evening and it is stunning and lasted at least 6 hours without smudging despite not using primer and having hooded eyes. It’s a little pricey for the amount of product but I think it’s worth the price and I had planned to purchase this one if I hadn’t received it. There are comparable colors to DREAM (not exact dupes) in Lightwork IV - I’ll post some swatches below.  I look forward to using this more!

As always, the pics are more true and  clearer if you click on them since Sephora’s site blurs the resolution.

This is DREAM compared to some shades from her Lightwork IV palette. It starts L to R, showing D, then Lightwork, then R then Lightwork, and so on. 

 

Finally, a swatch of DREAM all together in one.

Holy moly, I love this amazing eye look on you @sister13!

[sister13]

Aww, thanks so much! @curlychiquita 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Stunning 🌈 eye look, the way you did your eyes is just beautiful! Thank you for sharing these beautiful swatches too! I adore these colors 🫶🌈💕 @sister13 I might have to pick up that pallette 

[sister13]

Thanks! It really is so pretty and I get a lot of inspiration from following Danessa Myricks’ social channels. I did rainbow eyes for Denver Pride last year but it was a lot more work using a ton of palettes, this one made it so easy and now I’m really loving the shimmery/holographic shades too! @peculiarzmakeup 

[peculiarzmakeup]

That is so neat! You are very skilled. @sister13 🫶

[sister13]

Awww, thanks! @peculiarzmakeup 

[Viviolay]

I really love your eye makeup 🙂 

[sister13]

Thank you so much, I had fun with this look and this palette made it super easy! @Viviolay 

[CynthieLu]

*Squeeeeee!!* I love your rainbow look @sister13 🤩🤩

They sent you a beautiful PR package! The fan is such a keepsake. 🎁 🌈

Aaah I know, the design is very busy but I agree, for the price you really do get alot to play with. I think I'll use the colors in the middle carefully so I don't waste them. More small, it's like they are more precious. 💞

[sister13]

Thank you so much! The fan will definitely come in handy for hot flashes, lol! @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

It's arrived! 🌠 

Danessa Myricks Beauty Love is Love All Over Face Palette 

And the reviews are right, The middle eyeshadow pans are *quite* small. 

I was disappointed, I really didn't think they'd be that tiny. INGL, but swatching them cheered me up a bit, small but they are very beautiful. 🌈 

 

It's cloudy today, the best light I have is overcast clouds from my window. I imagine in sunlight they look fabulous, but we're not seeing the sun here today. 🌧️ ⛈️ 

I shared some swatches of everything in the swatches thread 🧵 THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD ! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Love these swatches, they all look beautiful on you ❤️ I appreciate you sharing them @CynthieLu 

[curlychiquita]

Beautiful swatches but it’s too bad the colors are too small, @CynthieLu!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @curlychiquita They are just smaller than I imagined they would be. I'm ok with it, they really are stunning. I can see myself having fun with playing with these colors. 😊

Enjoy your new palette, @CynthieLu ! 🌈

Thank you kindly @Titian06 💜
