Danessa Myricks Essential
This product is amazing ! I used to use it as a primer but I realized it works best when you work it in with your product ! ( specifically the vision cream cover ). This baby can turn your foundation from foundation to cc or bb cream! On the plus side , it also works for every skin ! I’m oily to combination and it’s amazing !!!

When you hear the word oil it scares most people using make up.. this is a dry oil and to die for!!!! I mix my beauty oil with my DMB VCCF to sheer out the coverage or I use It by itself on a no makeup day!!

Love love love!
Absolutely obsessed with this beautiful oil! Adds hydration to my dry skin without making it look oily. Sits beautifully under makeup to give you a dewy finish.

Obsessed
This beauty oil is amazing! It has become a big part of my skin prep routine in almost all my makeup applications. Use alone for instant hydration or mix with your foundation for a dewy glow. I mix it with my DMB Vision Cream Cover in pretty much all my editorial work, it photographs sooooo beautifully.

Golden oil
I am super excited for now being able to purchase, what to me is the best beauty oil on sephora website. Let me take you back, I used to brakeout badly when I used any other oils. Having also sensitive skin, to hydrate my skin back with out any burning sensation, beauty oil change that for me. It has a permanent home been in my makeup station & pro kit this golden beauty oil is what you have been missing on. As a pro tip just remember : If you pay attention to the ingredients used in...

This Stuff Is The Biz!
After watching many videos of Danessa using this oil and the amazing effect it had on models skin, I simply had to try it.
Despite being excited, I was a little hesitant because I have very oily skin, but I could never get my foundation to truly mesh with and look like my skin.
Well...a few drops mixed into my gel primer made my skin feel like heaven and a few more drops mixed into my foundation made my skin look it!
I have never experience true product cohesion on my skin the way this oil...

DMB did it again
Again, an incredible product from Danessa Myricks! I’m blown away with every purchase of her brand I make. I wish Sephora did more advertising of her stuff on the front page of the app bc everyone needs to be using her stuff. I love face oils and honestly, this is the best one I’ve tried. I look at the ingredients and to me they seem pretty much the same as others but it’s like there’s a shot of magic infused in this bottle. Maybe it’s the gold leaf? I don’t know, but I use it before...

Goldie but Goodie
Does a really great job of hydrating your face. The gold leaf is pretty but you really don't see it on your skin. It looks amazing under foundation. It just gives your face a natural looking glow and can really breathe life into your foundation.

Big no for me. I gave it two stars because it is almost scent free. This has a very drying effect on my skin and is like an “oily alcohol” if that makes any sense. And even though I didn’t applied it anywhere near my eyes, it is seeping and creeping into them. I will stick with my 100% squalane from the ordinary. This is a huge no for me. Also too, it is in a very light weight plastic bottle with a very wide mouth. I can see this tipping over easily as you use the dropper and you...

The oil is lightweight and smells good. Have been using it for a while. A little goes a long way. Will continue to use this product as I am loving the vegetables.

never go without this oil
Love this oil. Hydrates face and pleasant fragrance. Use it daily as part of my morning routine. Face is moisturized for the whole day. No need to reapply any type of moisturizer/cream. A little goes a long way.
