As I get older I appreciate more natural looks more not to mention I’ve come to appreciate mattes more and more and more. Two of my most used palettes since their releases are the Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork Defining Neutrals Palette and Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork: Blooming Romance. I absolutely love these palettes. When the original Groundwork Palette launched I was a complete naysayer as the palette just looked like a selection of all the same tone of brown from darker to lighter. And I went back and fourth deciding if I needed it. I am so glad I finally caved because it is sincerely one of my most used palettes. I absolutely love the formula, how effortlessly I can create a look, and how beautiful the looks I can create using it. When the Blooming Romance Palette launched I didn’t hesitate grabbing it. It’s just as beautiful but my baby is the original version! If you love nude, natural eyeshadow looks or if you want a palette you can use everyday for work friendly looks the original will get the job done.
I was kind of hopeful Danessa would do another version for Fall but she dropped the more colorful LIGHTWORK VI The Freedom Palette instead! But hey, there’s still Spring 2025 Makeup Collections upcoming so maybe a new Groundwork Palette will launch for that season!
With the Sephora Holiday Savings Event currently on you might want to finally take the plunge on these. I highly recommend them! Do you own either one? Do you love them? Do share!
