If you love multi-chromes, bold shifts, and anything sparkly, the new Danessa Myricks Lightwork VII Palette is probably already on your radar. It’s been going viral all over social media — and today, I’m sharing my full review, real swatches, and whether it’s worth adding to your makeup collection.
And with Sephora’s 20% off sale ending on 12/14, this is the perfect time to grab it if you’ve been eyeing it!

First Impressions
Right out of the box, Lightwork VII feels luxurious. The palette includes a mix of:
- Multichromes
- Duo-chromes
- High-shift metallics
- Soft shimmer toppers
It’s everything Danessa Myricks is known for — rich, smooth, and bold formulas that work beautifully on deeper, tan, and medium skin tones (including mine!).

Swatches on Real Skin
This palette SHINES in real lighting. Every shade shifts differently depending on angle, sunlight, and undertone.

My Eye Look Using Lightwork VII
For the tutorial, I created a dramatic but wearable multichrome look — perfect for holiday events, glam moments, or just when you want your eyes to be the main character.
The shades layered beautifully and blended easily. No patchiness, no weird fallout.
If you like glam that feels effortless, you’ll enjoy this palette.
Should You Buy It During the Sephora Sale?
The short answer: YES – if you love shimmer-heavy, multi-chrome goodness in your looks.
This palette performs like luxury, and the multi-chromes alone justify the price. And with 20% off at Sephora until 12/14/2025, it’s honestly the best time to pick it up.
If you don’t typically reach for bold shades, the palette might be more of a special-occasion product, but it’s still a stunning collector’s piece.
