Danessa Myricks Beauty Is for Creatives Everywhere—and These 10 Products Prove It

If you're into makeup and have Instagram, chances are you've seen the incredible work of makeup artist Danessa Myricks grace your feed on more than one occasion. And for good reason: From starting as a self-taught makeup artist to launching a full-blown beauty brand, Danessa Myricks works from her heart and gut, never trends or statistics. With her brand, Myricks's goal was to give consumers a way to reimagine their beauty routine and how they play with makeup—and it's evident she has surpassed that and then some.

Myricks calls herself an "accidental makeup artist" who was able to find her way in the industry, prior to social media, by leaning into relationships and working for free for well over a year. The majority of her early career was spent educating other artists, which eventually led to her work in product development. "I began mixing pigments in my basement, creating unique color stories and finishes for highlighters suitable for all skin tones and evolved into developing innovative formulas in labs all around the world," she says. When you shop Danessa Myricks Beauty there is no shortage of colors and shades to choose from, and anyone can wear multiple products from her brand. Myricks's initial intention wasn't to start a makeup line, yet she found that as her beauty career evolved, brand development naturally became the next step.

Danessa Myricks Beauty is unique in the sense that no product is developed to satisfy a current trend. Everything is developed from the heart, with the intention of releasing products that creators and artists are passionate about using. "I really wanted to fill in the white space: Create for creators, create the unimaginable, think about products in a way that hadn’t been done before, and create products that move you to reimagine your beauty routine and how you play with makeup," says Myricks.

The brand is for anyone and everyone who simply wants to express themselves through the use of makeup. "We want everyone around the world to experience our products regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or personal style," says Myricks. "I want everyone to play with us."
