Danessa Myricks Groundwork Palette Swatches

Danessa Myricks Groundwork Palette ($65.00) is a new, permanent palette that features eight pomade/powder duos that are designed to be multi-tasking so that they can be used on face, eyes, brows, and lips. The brand has acknowledged that some of the pomade shades in the palette have “surface crystallization, which is a common phenomenon with pomade formula types,” which “does not effect the safety or performance.” This is the white bits shown on some shades.

I have had issues with the palette and getting pigmentation/blendability out of a lot of the pomade shades, and I’m going to give it a few more tries. My experience seems fairly different from a lot of other people, both consumers and influencers (that I trust).
