Mary Phillips is one of the most influential makeup artists of her generation, known for redefining modern beauty through her signature “underpainting” technique—a now-viral method that’s reshaped how millions contour, highlight, and sculpt their features. With a client roster that includes Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Kaia Gerber, Mary’s artistry has become synonymous with glowing, elevated skin and a less-is-more aesthetic that enhances rather than transforms. A licensed aesthetician, former brow artist, and co-founder of Highlight Artists talent agency, she brings a multidimensional perspective to her work. In 2025, she launched m.ph by Mary Phillips, a curated collection rooted in her professional techniques—blending timeless glamour with breathable, skincare-forward formulas designed to make people feel confident, sexy, and effortlessly polished.
