Ep. 97: Danessa Myricks Shares The 22 Year Evolution of Danessa Myricks Beauty + The Keys To Success In Beauty

Today on the Friends in Beauty Podcast I welcome my fave Makeup Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Founder of Danessa’s Myricks Beauty, Danessa Myricks to the Friends in Beauty guest chair.

 

In a world focused on labels, Danessa Myricks has continuously broken boundaries and built a world of beauty for people from all races, ages and genders.

 

Starting out as a self-taught makeup artist, Danessa learned how to use products in unconventional ways to create stunning looks. Ignoring industry norms, she began to teach other artists about her techniques and product selections, and created a name for herself in the beauty world. 

 

After turning heads at some of the largest brands, Danessa led product development for some of the most successful launches in history at brands like KISS and Benefit Cosmetics. But she knew the world of makeup still felt exclusive to many, so she decided to launch her own brand, Danessa Myricks Beauty. 

 

Creatively combining artistry with product manipulation, she designs and launches some of the most high-performance products on the market.

 

Danessa has created looks for celebrities, worked with entertainers in music and film and collaborates with other brands and artists to push the beauty industry forward. She trains makeup artists and enthusiasts worldwide and continues to create some of the most innovative and inclusive beauty products on the market. 

 

But the most rewarding part of her work is hearing from people who felt underrepresented, unseen or ignored by beauty brands who finally land at a brand made for all, Danessa Myricks Beauty.

 

If you know me then you know that Danessa is hands down my favorite makeup artist on the planet. Not only is she talented but she’s such an amazing + uplifting woman with an infectious spirit. 

 

In this interview Danessa shares:

-The evolution of Danessa Myricks Beauty

-The importance of using your name when building a brand

-How she manages being an introvert in an extroverted profession

-What she sees holding artists back from reaching their full potential

-How she takes care of herself

-Her keys to success in the industry 

-What’s next for DMB and sooo much more.

 

I’m so proud to be able to present this conversation to you & so grateful to Danessa for sharing her time with us and dropping countless gems. This interview was exactly what I needed to light a fire under me & I know you’ll feel the same. I don’t want to hold you back any longer. Let’s go ahead and jump into this awesome chat with Danessa & if you prefer to watch then tune in on YouTube.
