It is the eighth palette in [Danessa Myricks Beauty](https://beauty-talk.club/tags/140-danessamyricksbeauty)'s annual Lightwork series and will launch on 16 October 2026. Pricing has not yet been announced in any market. Danessa Myricks Beauty is also releasing a limited-edition lip gift set in mid-October 2026, the [Danessa Myricks Beauty Gloss On Lock Kit](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/2544-danessa-myricks-beauty-gloss-lock-kit), with a kit-exclusive GlossWork shade and a mirror keychain. **Updated 8 October 2026:** Not yet on sale anywhere.

The design matches Lightwork VI and VII, according to Glam Junkies. ## Formula and Packaging - **Formula:** According to the brand, the shadows are finger-forward with brushes optional, and are "designed for all skin levels and all makeup styles." Glam Junkies reports the formulas are vegan and cruelty-free, citing the brand. - **Packaging:** Individual pans can be removed and rearranged. The palette also mixes and stacks with other Freedom palettes, such as the Everyday Magic and Pastel Dream Mini Freedom Palettes. Danessa Myricks says: "This palette is your passport to freedom. I designed it so you can go from everyday basics to your boldest self-expression with ease." The brand's directions are to swipe any shade over the eyelid. Its press images show the shades on eyes and cheeks, and some on lips, with a footnote on that image, so not every shade is presented as lip-safe.
