You may not know Danessa Myricks yet, but you've likely seen
her products adorning models' faces on Instagram and in magazines. The makeup
artist, photographer, and entrepreneur launched her beauty brand Danessa
Myricks Beauty just three years ago, and industry professionals have flocked to
her ever since.
The reason? Danessa creates beauty products with fellow MUAs
in mind. Their line focuses on high-performance, multipurpose formulations that
meet the demands of the beauty industry. Inclusion is a core value of Danessa
Myricks Beauty: As a black woman, Danessa expresses the lack of representation
of people of colour in the beauty community. So, we wanted to share some of the
most talked about products from his collection.

ColorFix Color Cream 24 hours
Think of this fantastic product as a polish for your skin.
ColorFix 24-Hour Cream Color is a liquid cream pigment that comes in four
shades (Matte, Metallic, Foil, and Glaze) and a rainbow of pigment colours that
you can wear anywhere—eyes, face, lips, and body. Not only is ColorFix
extremely durable, but it's also water, sweat, and stain resistant, so it'll
last you a full day on the set (or watching Netflix, whatever). Take a few
shades and mix and match for endless colour customization - your imagination is
the only limit. @smarttechpros

Dewy balm
If we could recommend one product for getting glassy skin,
it would be Dew Wet Balm. It's a highlighter with the texture of a moisturizing
balm, so it melts into the skin with that dewy, slightly shimmery finish you
get right after moisturizing. There are five shades, including Clear (clear,
matte), Holy Water (holographic pearl), Hot Water (a peachy tan), Morning Dew
(a golden pearl), and Rosewater (a rose gold).

Vision cream cap
With Vision Cream Cover, you'll always have the right foundation
shade in your collection. It's a creamy complexion product that comes in a wide
range of shades that you can mix and match to do just about anything, from
concealing blemishes to sculpting and contouring. You can use it alone as a full-coverage
foundation or concealer, mix it with a moisturizer for a light skin tone, or
blend it along the curves of your face to define and highlight. Transformer
shades are perfect for blending with the foundation for the ideal shade match.
Choose TO to add an olive undertone, TW to brighten, or TP to add warmth.

enlightening Veil
This liquid cream highlighter is essential for achieving the
glowing, radiant complexion that Danessa Merricks is known for. Illuminating Veil
works as a standalone highlighter, or you can mix it with your foundation for a
luminous finish. The bright pigments are finely milled to a shimmering (matte)
sheen. But it's a complete product—if you want a more subtle glow, we recommend
applying it under your foundation as a base. Illuminating Veil comes in eight
shades, including some deep-hued options for darker skin tones (often sorely
overlooked in highlighter deals).

Vision cleaning
Vision Flush is hard to describe. Much like a liquid blush,
it creates a wash of colour on the skin and dries to a satin matte finish. But
unlike some blushes, Vision Flush is truly multipurpose; it Plays well on skin,
eyes, and even lips. What's especially great about this product is that it's
easy to apply or build in layers to your desired intensity, then dries without
the sticky, wet finish familiar with multipurpose colour products.

light shovel;
We admit it, we're fans of a sound highlight palette, so our
love for the Danessa Myricks Light Work Palette was to come. Available in two
shades (Light Work I and Light Work II), this palette comes with six oversize
pans of a powder highlighter with a creamy, emollient-like texture. The shades
blend into the skin with an opaque metallic sheen. Use a soft brush for sheer
results, or use your fingers for a highly reflective colour. @techgeeksblogger
