Before she was schooling the beauty world with skin-gloss realness and pigment-packed multitaskers, Danessa Myricks was just a girl with a dream and no formal training, unless you count YouTube and hustle as a masterclass (which, in her case, you should).
She didn’t waltz into the beauty industry through the front door. No Ivy League beauty school. No trust fund. Just a vision, a camera, and the audacity to experiment out loud. A photographer-turned-makeup-artist-turned-brand-architect, Danessa created a space where melanin is honored, texture is celebrated, and creativity isn’t a trend, it’s the baseline.
Danessa didn’t wait for the industry to catch up. She created products that worked, on every skin tone, undertone, and texture, because she needed them. And because no one else was doing it right. Her brand was born not in a boardroom, but in the margins—between gigs, after hours, while raising a family and manifesting more.
Her formulas are editorial-level artistry meets real-world wear. Her brand? Built for rule-breakers, face-painters, pro artists, and everyday creators alike. Because Danessa believes makeup isn’t just for covering up, it’s for showing off who you are, how you feel, and where you’re going.
This isn’t your average beauty story. This is a masterclass in self-made magic. From mixing pigments in her kitchen to global shelves, Danessa Myricks Beauty is what happens when you stop waiting for a seat at the table, and build the whole damn thing yourself.
