Danessa Myricks Beauty is an inclusive cosmetics brand founded in 2015 by self-taught makeup artist, photographer, and educator Danessa Myricks. After rebuilding her career as a single mother, Myricks taught herself makeup artistry and began mixing products to create the shades, finishes, and textures she could not find in the market. Working with people across different skin tones, ages, and identities showed her how narrowly the traditional beauty industry defined its customers. She created Danessa Myricks Beauty to offer high-performance, multifunctional products for both professional artists and everyday users. The brand is known for innovative formulas that blur the boundaries between foundation, powder, balm, blush, skincare, and eye color. Danessa Myricks Beauty treats makeup as a flexible form of creativity, designed for every race, gender, age, complexion, and personal style.
