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!

@danielledanielle  Grape Soda is my must-have. Even if it ends up leaning more reddish plum on me than purple, I kinda think I need it. 💜

Also, I’m THRILLED to see Danessa expanding the non-Flushed shade range, because Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation 6.5 (tan with rosy undertone) will probably play nicer with my skin tone than shades 6 and 7 ever have. My only complaint about Danessa’s complexion products has been the lack of red and/or rosy undertones in the tan+ end of her shade ranges. I can hardly wait to swatch new shade 6.5 when/if it hits stores! 

[danielledanielle]

I didn't even catch the balm expansion! That's awesome @WinglessOne 

Agreed about you & grape soda.

[sister13]

Ahhh, I was just coming here to post these! So excited for these - they look so good! @danielledanielle  

[danielledanielle]

@sister13, which ones are you eyeing? I'm trying to slow down, like not immediately get both that weren't in the holiday set, but both are calling me

[sister13]

Well, grape for sure and I was thinking red velvet, but the mini from the set will probably last me forever, lol! @danielledanielle

The Makeup Show 

November 17 Chicago 

 

 
I didn’t want to film during her presentation but she talked about so many amazing things her brand is truly amazing and it was empowering 🙂

@peculiarzmakeup Beautiful photos of you and your Grandma! You two look gorgeous. It looks like you had a blast! Danessa is so warm and welcoming! Isn't she amazing!?! Ohh what goodies came in the swag bag?

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you! Oh I just got a balm powder and flushed powder sample with my purchases just samples! Haha it was fun she is she very kind ❤️ thanks it was a blast to go with my grandma she’s adorable ☺️ @Mellmars1185 

[Sunnysmom]

What an unforgettable experience for you and your beautiful grandma @peculiarzmakeup ! Also, “grandma”?! I see the beauty in your family! 😍 Love your pics and how you’re twinning with her! You’re both such beauties! 💞

[peculiarzmakeup]

Aw thank you so much! 😊 it was so fun to go with her!! @Sunnysmom 

[WinglessOne]

@peculiarzmakeup  I’m glad you and your grandma got to hear and meet Danessa in person! That had to be such a great experience, especially to share it with a loved one. Looks like you got some good treats, too! Her first 2 Lightwork palettes are lovely multi-use highlighters; hopefully you’ll get good use out of yours. 

Also: are you a fellow Illinois BICer? Duuuude, I live in Chicago! If I wasn’t having such crummy health issues right now, I’d have done The Makeup Show this year… I almost bought a ticket and dragged myself to Avondale (or Roscoe Village… can’t remember which neighborhood that venue’s technically in) but it’s probably best I didn’t. Just going to pick up my Sephora BOPIS order yesterday wiped me out and I’m still paying spoons for it today. 🫠 But aw, we could’ve met up at that event. Maybe another time! I’m just happy one of us got to go! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

That’s very kind! Thank you! I hope you get to feeling better soon! I do, woohoo! About 30 minutes from the show! That’s so neat! Yes definatley would be amazing to meet a fellow BIC’er your awesome so neat small world 🌎 @WinglessOne
