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!

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 ! 

[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. 😊

[Titian06]

Enjoy your new palette, @CynthieLu ! 🌈

[CynthieLu]

Thank you kindly @Titian06 💜

[sister13]

Danessa Myricks Beauty Love is Love All Over Face Palette is live! 

So much hate for the layout, lol. I admit it’s annoying, but I’ll pick this one up. Some of the looks I’ve seen are so pretty!

[makeitup305]

All the MyKitCo sets are available on the DM website. I wish she sold some individually! I just want that slanted dense brush.

[danielledanielle]

@makeitup305and @WinglessOne , heh, I double and tripled checked the IG story to see what brushes were demo'ed and any mention of individuals being release.  The fact the brushes weren't separately listed, the way they were talking about the makeup show, just showing the box as well as teasing winning a set during the live kinda made me feel that wasn't happening.   Or, at least that is what I told myself as my excuse to get a set 😂 . Also, it was a MD's present to myself.

However, I was surprised to see 5 different versions though, so maybe if they do well, they'll sell them individually.  That or maybe DM attack them to your cause.

I originally was going to get the starter and the detail set, but then there's a lack of shapes in face brushes, and a redundancy IMO in eye brushes, in particular the brow and small brushes.  I ended up with face, and if there's any standouts, I would love totally use that as an excuse to get backups.

[makeitup305]

@danielledanielle I usually don't mind the redundancy, especially in eye brushes, but I get what you mean. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on your set.

[WinglessOne]

@makeitup305  Yeah, I was also hoping some would be sold individually. Since they’re all in sets, it’s easier for me to pass on them and stick to my “nope, don’t buy lots of new brushes” low-buy. 😅

[makeitup305]

@WinglessOne same. I think the sets are reasonably priced and seem good quality. The shapes are really functional, too, unlike many cheap sets. If I didn't have so many brushes already, I would more than likely pick up one. Who knows, I might cave at some point still 😅

[WinglessOne]

@makeitup305  Heh, I do occasionally look the eye and detail sets and try to talk myself into buying one. “Okay but, is it really so bad to get another [pick a brush size + shape + task] if you’d also get [brush(es) I might not have in my collection]?” Gotta stay strong! 

I don’t remember if Beautylish is getting these brushes; I assume they will since they sell both brands. I could use Beautylish rewards on a set. Or I could go stare at all my brushes to remind myself I don’t need more. 🫠

[makeitup305]

@WinglessOne lol same here. I do use most of my brushes pretty consistently, especially eye and cheek brushes. I find myself truly overwhelmed/shocked by the amount I own when I have to wash them.

I’ll probably get this, but the layout does super annoy me! It does remind me of that Urban Decay Kirsten Leanne palette which also annoyed me, but which I also bought. I do want to swatch in store, though. I was wondering everyone’s thoughts so I’m glad I could log in today!  @danielledanielle @CynthieLu @WinglessOne @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

@sister13 sorry you're still struggling so much with logging in. My issues have gotten better as long as I do the workaround but it's still annoying. Hopefully they get resolved soon.

[danielledanielle]

@sister13, ugh the log in issue...hoping it ends someday.

Haha, I don't remember the exact palette, so I had to Google it, but I remember the outrage 😂.  It makes you wonder when it's being conceptualized what didn't pass.
