Ever since she broke onto the beauty scene back in 2015, Danessa Myricks has quickly become one of the driving forces of innovation within the beauty space. From her Colorfix creams to her now iconic Blurring Balm Powder, she is truly working on a level that few in the beauty space are.
Her crowning achievement though has to be her now annual Lightwork palette releases. These are palettes that truly make a statement. With colour stories that you don’t usually see being sold outside of the indie scene. Danessa Myricks Beauty now has seven of these palettes in her collection. And I have two. Granted, they are the best two of the palettes in this range. The Lightwork Vol. VI and Vol. VII. They are, without question, the two most unique palettes that I own. With colour stories that have to been seen to be believed. And today, I wanted to share them with you. So you can see how truly special they are.
