In Myricks world, creativity is finite and so is her resume. When she s not turning models skin into glass with her Illuminating Veil or sharing her expert tips in her masterclass, Myricks can be found behind the camera translating her eye for beauty into editorial photography for her namesake beauty brand. Who better to show Black skin in all its splendor and glory than a Black woman? Morphe took notes and recruited Myricks to be a part of its newest foundation launch.
