From a viral problem to my absolute calling… Happy 1 Year Anniversary! 🥹🧁 Many years ago, I found my calling in beauty education and makeup artistry. But exactly one year ago today, I noticed a major problem: a viral product had taken over, but people had absolutely no way of accurately finding their shade-whether they were shopping online or staring at the display in-store! That is the exact moment #FindYourDanessaMyricksShadeWithMevo was born. I posted my very first video in this series on Instagram on 01/06/2025. 🤎 What started as a solution for one brand quickly birthed an extension of my true assignment. Now? You name the brand, and I will gladly find your alternative foundation or concealer match for every single occasion. Swipe to see why I do this. ➡️ “Standing in Sephora using my videos to match in real-time?” Mary D. you made my entire year with this comment! 😭🫶🏾 Thank you all so much for trusting my eye, supporting this series, and showing me so much grace and patience on the days I am too unwell to film. This community means everything to me. Here is to matching many more faces! What brand do we need to tackle next? Drop it below! 👇🏾✨ . . . #makeupbymevo #DanessaMyricksBeauty #BlurringBalmPowder #ShadeMatching @danessa_myricks @danessamyricksbeauty @danessamyricks_europe @gurumakeupemporium @sephora @sephorauk @sephoracanada taken in London, England, UK by @makeupbymevo

The CeraVe Awards 2025 - an evening to remember!🙌🏾✨ I am most grateful to you all for your votes, support and love. Although I didn’t win the award, me simply being there at the ceremony was THE win for me! I have been through a lot, (still going through a lot), but God used this event to remind me that He’s got me. 🙏🏾🦋💜 Slide 1- Capturing my glow en route to London. This taxi journey was like no other…🥹🦋 Slide 2- Me getting a lesson in vlogging. Slide 3- The moment it all felt real! I had to test out my newly learnt filming skills. Slide 4- Of course I captured my name card! This is my first time “outside” in a mighty long time. Slide 5- A message from the skin expert. Slide 6- The #cerawardsuki finalists being called out. Slide 7- A very vulnerable moment; this is why me making it to the awards ceremony is a big deal. Slide 8- It was divine orchestrated that I met @shesonabudget on this evening and my online friend of over 2 years, @whatcisaid Slide 9 - I met more lovely people! 🙌🏾🫶🏾 Slide 10- That trolley was full of everything my skin loves!! 💙🤍 @ceraveuki @communityxseen @seen_group #makeupbymevo #mevocomplexion #ceraveawards2025 #cerawardsuki #ceraveuki #skincareover40 #GlowingSkin #HydratedSkin #invisibleillness #chronicillness #autoimmune #lupus #mctd #ra #mctdfare #lupusskin #loveyourskin taken in Science Museum by @makeupbymevo

The secret to stopping hyperpigmentation from peeping through your makeup! 🤫✨ Loved seeing this comment from Ola! So many of us struggle with dark spots or grey undertones breaking through our concealer halfway through the day. 📌 Covering hyperpigmentation on deep skin comes down to one thing: letting your colour corrector dry down for a few minutes before blending. This creates a tacky base so your foundation sits seamlessly ON TOP instead of mixing into it. No grey cast, no dark spots, and no orange peeping through! What I’m wearing: ✨ Corrector: @natashadenonabeauty Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Corrector in C5 ✨ Foundation: @charlottetilbury Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Foundation Stick Watch how adding my foundation stick over my corrector completely hides my hyperpigmentation! Drop a 🧡 if you’ve tried this, or let me know your biggest makeup base struggle in the comments below! #MakeupByMevo #ColourCorrecting #MakeupHacks #DarkSpotCorrection #DeepSkinMakeup taken in London, United Kingdom by @makeupbymevo

Another Chronically ill content creator and beauty educator update! 💜🦋 ♿️ In my last post, you saw me swatching the medium-deep range (506–556) of the NEW @fentybeauty Fluid Flex Foundation. I decided the ultimate test would be to run a real-world wear test review on one of my most physically challenging days. I spent just over 8 hours in the hospital having my immunotherapy cycle. 🩺🏥 On a regular session, I experience fever, nausea, abdominal cramps, & extreme fatigue. The stomach cramps usually come with a few silent tears. I wasn’t going to hit record & let the camera capture those heavy, grimacing moments, but I wanted to document the day… You’ll see photos of me during the treatment, a final shot outside the hospital waiting for my ride home, & the last image at home. Makeup was applied at 07:00, & that final image was captured at 17:50- making this a true 10-hour hospital wear test! ⏳ I wish I could say I had an easy day at the infusion centre, but my spirit & body were tested! Especially having to keep a mask on 😷 unless eating or drinking & wobbling over to the toilet while still fully connected to the therapy machine.🩼 But despite the excessive sweating & tears, this foundation DID NOT BUDGE. 🤯 The initial finish was a gorgeous, smooth velvet matte. I wasn’t dewy like my normal self, but it never felt dry or tight either! Best of all? The formula did NOT oxidise on me at all! It stayed the exact same shade and undertone through the entire day. Now that is a major flex! 🙌🏾🔥 On my next wear test, I’m going to drop down to shade 516W. I have a feeling that will be a closer match now that autumn has officially begun & my body hasn’t seen sunshine in over a month. 🍂☀️ (📌Full Makeup Breakdown & Nurses Reaction in the Pinned Comment Below! 👇🏾) taken in London, United Kingdom by @makeupbymevo

Chronically ill content creator check-in! ♿️💜 Navigating an autoimmune flare-up, standing on a crutch, and feeling lightheaded while trying to film in-store is a sport. I really wish beauty counters had seating for accessibility! 🪑🩼😭 I swatched the new @fentybeauty Fluid Flex Foundation in the medium-deep range (506–556) so I could figure out my match and test the dry-down. As usual, I filmed the initial swatches in store, and then stepped outside to capture the true tones under natural day light. ☀️💨 I’ll be back for the deep-dark tones (566-596) once my body resets! Huge shoutout to @spacenk where I filmed and got 3 samples and @bootsuk (where I grabbed my prescription and 3 more samples on the way home!). I will be playing around with all 6 samples in natural daylight and will give you a review soon. Stay tuned for my perfect shade reveal! 💬👀 Which shade is looking close to your match?

Dear Diary, It’s been 13 months. 13 months of self-funding this shade matching series, buying compacts, and holding up a mirror to the major chasms in the beauty industry. Today hits a little different. The founder herself just commented on my blurring balm powder 10 & 11 undertone gap video to confirm that the missing shades are officially underway. When I started this series over a year ago, my goal was to provide the data needed to bridge these exact gaps for our community. Seeing that consistent work turn into actual industry change is everything I could have hoped for. With the DMB national Sephora shade matching campaign rolling out recently (March 2026), and now new complexion shades on the horizon, it feels incredible to know OUR voices are being heard loud and clear at headquarters. WE built the blueprint for this conversation with the very first episode (check the ONE Year Anniversary post pinned on my page), and the message officially landed. 🙌🏾🫶🏾 Can’t wait to see how the new formulations turn out. Love,@makeupbymevo cc: @danessamyricksbeauty @danessa_myricks @danessamyricks_europe Ps. Whatever brand you need help with, I’ve got you!#FindYourShadeMatchWithMevo (My skin’s glowing with @charlottetilbury ✨) (Wearing my favorite robe & scarf from @kaicollective 🤎) #DeepSkinShadeExpansion #ComplexionInclusivity #BeautyWatchdog #CharlotteTilbury taken in London, United Kingdom by @makeupbymevo

Pinch me! 🥹 So grateful to unbox these gorgeous goodies from TATCHA. 2 months ago, in the midst of a tumultuous flare-up in my lungs, I picked up my phone and hit record. This was me, sharing an honest review of an SPF I had fallen in love with. I didn’t feel well enough to show my face on screen, but I knew I had to keep going because skincare and makeup are my therapy. 🦋💜 I never imagined that a brand as big as @tatcha would notice me, care, or remember me- but they did. They truly saw me. 🥹 Thank you so much, TATCHA, for your generosity. (Gifted with NO obligation to post). My skin loves TATCHA!💜✨ #makeupbymevo #chronicillness #AutoimmuneWarrior #Tatcha #GlowFromWithin taken in London, United Kingdom by @makeupbymevo

Someone commented on my last video: “I’ve resorted to just using the universal with the water balm. Can’t be mixing for ever.” 🛑 🟤🟠 Part 2: The Medium-Dark Rift. “Can’t be mixing forever” is the absolute truth! Consumer fatigue is real when the undertone jumps in the range are this VIOLENT! Shade 7 carries a distinct, warm olive base, but then the range violently leaps to Shade 8’s heavy, intense yellow-golden depth. We desperately need a deeper version of 6.5 here for a peach transition. Where is the natural progression?🤯⏳ @danessa_myricks @danessamyricksbeauty @danessamyricks_europe Medium-dark complexions should NOT have to spend £84 / $78 US for two shades to play chemist just to survive a basic match. 📉 @narsissist Macao/Caracas & @fentybeauty 390 lovers, come to the front!! 👇🏾 Drop a 🙋🏾‍♀️if you are stuck between 7 and 8! #FindYourDanessaMyricksShadeWithMevo #makeupbymevo #danessamyricksbeauty #blurringbalmpowder #DeepSkinShadeExpansion taken in London, United Kingdom by @makeupbymevo
