Before spending $128 on a palette that might not suit you, watch how I recreated the Danessa Myricks Lightwork VII palette (view here: go.shopmy.us/p-28450441 (affiliate link)) using what I already own. I call it a “cover version” instead of a dupe – inspired by the original but tuned to my coloring and taste.
In this video, I walk through every shade, explain how I chose my substitutions, and share what this experiment taught me about desire, creativity, and mindful beauty shopping.
