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!

@sister13 Beautiful photos! It is very satisying to see all of these palettes side by side!

[TraceyEB]

@sister13, that's a stunning colour scheme! I love that the palettes can stack together. I'm dabbling in DM complexion products and blush but haven't ventured into eyeshadow just yet. I've enjoyed everything I've tried.

[sister13]

I have loved all the Lightwork palettes. Her complexion stuff is an amazing too, I can always find the right undertone match and I really feel like they blur texture. @TraceyEB 

[CookieGirl1]

@sister13 I've seen a couple of YouTube reviews on it so far and it seems like it's getting a lot of love!  I'm happy for you that you picked it up and you'll definitely have to post some looks with it.

[sister13]

I love the pretty jewel colors and shifts, and I love the unique palette design! @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@sister13 she nailed it with the palette design!  I think it's so cool that she chose that packaging.

[WinglessOne]

@sister13  Glad you’re enjoying the new palette! I ordered mine from Sephora last Saturday (used a rouge reward on it) and it’ll be here tomorrow. The last 3 extra sparkly shades on your arm look great in sunlight. 

[sister13]

Oh nice, can’t wait to hear what you think! Those got a little smudged but many of these shades are so very sparkly! I need to experiment more, some of them are slightly sheer so I think layering over Colorfix would give a more opaque/vibrant color (if/when desired) but still super sparkly look. @WinglessOne 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Absolutely stunning! I love the 18 new shades! Amazing I really hope you enjoy this palate I can’t wait to see what looks you create. Excited for you 🫶 @sister13 

[sister13]

It’s really pretty, I love the color stories and uniqueness factor! @peculiarzmakeup 

[Titian06]

This palette looks very pretty, @sister13 !  You'll be able to create tons of awesome looks with this palette! 💞

[sister13]

I have done two looks so far and it’s so sparkly and pretty, will post soon! @Titian06 

[CynthieLu]

It's stunning! @sister13 What were your initial thoughts and first impressions? 

[sister13]

I love it! I love the stackable nature of these, and the little face plate is also a mirror. Several of the shades are really sparkly, which I love. I got nice long wear from the first trial I did, with no primer, so that’s awesome. I also love that many/most  of the multi chromes are not green shifts. There are greens and I don’t mind green shifts but sometimes they’re too prevalent! Overall, it’s definitely a bit pricey but gorgeous! @CynthieLu

[makeitup305]

I don't need a rainbow palette but the fact that it's magnetic and stackable/rearrangable is a big draw-in!

[sister13]

I know, that looks so cool! @makeitup305 

[Mellmars1185]

@sister13 This is exciting. I love her eyeshadow formulas
