If we know anything about glow ups, itâs that they come in all shapes, colors, sizes, styles and times of life. But the power of a good glow up is that indescribable feeling like the universe is conspiring to deliver you to the next phase in perfect timing.
Thatâs why we got goose bumps listening to Danessa Myricks, makeup artist extraordinaire and creator of Danessa Myricks Beauty, an extensive line of highly pigmented, multiusage, professional-grade cosmetics that are a favorite of makeup artists but also totally accessible to amateursâwithout the need for a professional discount.
After falling in love with Myricksâ prismatic range of products, we initially invited her to our studio with the request that she demonstrate a super-wearable summer glow up for our on-camera model. She gave us that, and so much more.
After meeting Myricks, we found her own glow to be even more gorgeous; she exudes a warmth and grace that one can only attribute to living in her truth as a full-time creative and truly loving what she does.

But it wasnât always this way; makeup is actually Myricksâ second act, and one for which she was clearly destined, based on her incredible eye for color and exceptional technique.
Most important, whether itâs makeup or a masterâs degree, Danessa Myricksâ story is an important reminder that itâs never too late to change course, pursue your dreams and live the life you were meant to.
