m.ph by Mary Phillips in the UK: Our Guide to the Range

m.ph by Mary Phillips is the makeup line built around the techniques of celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips, from her sculpting method of Underpainting to her signature overlined lip. It is a range made for skin that looks like skin, with creamy textures, soft definition and tools designed to do the blending for you. It can be hard to find in the UK. This is our guide to the m.ph by Mary Phillips pieces we stock at Glow Trend, what each one does best, and how to put them together.

Why m.ph by Mary Phillips

Every product in the range starts from a working makeup artist's method rather than a trend. Complexion is built in sheer, buildable layers so it reads as a second skin, contour is placed before foundation so the face looks naturally lifted, and lips are lined, coloured and glossed in three simple steps. The brushes are part of the system, made with ultra-soft vegan synthetic bristles and shaped for the exact formulas they partner. Like everything in our edit, each m.ph by Mary Phillips product was researched and tested before we chose to stock it.

Underpainting Face Palette

The heart of the range. Underpainting reverses the usual order, sculpting the face before foundation goes on, and this palette holds everything needed to do it: one colour corrector, two highlighters and two contour shades. The creamy, blendable formula gives sheer to medium coverage with a second-skin finish, so it corrects discolouration, brightens and adds soft dimension without ever looking drawn on. Shop the Underpainting Palette

Underpainting Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush

Designed to perfect the Underpainting technique. One end is a medium, fluffy head for blending contours and highlights seamlessly, the other a smaller flat edge for detailed work around the nose, lips and eyes. Used with cream or liquid products, the soft vegan bristles leave a smooth, airbrushed finish. Shop the Sculpting Brush

Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation

A breathable serum foundation designed to look and feel like real skin. Coverage is buildable to medium with a natural, luminous finish that smooths tone and softens the look of texture without masking the complexion beneath. The fluid texture layers seamlessly, from a sheer wash to a more perfected base, and it suits all skin types for everyday wear. Shop Le Skin

The Foundation Brush

A fluffy, tapered brush made to complement Mary's signature technique. It picks up just the right amount of product and distributes it evenly, so foundation glides on with a smooth, non-cakey finish that looks like skin rather than makeup. The bristles are vegan synthetic fibres set in an aluminium ferrule on a wooden handle. Shop the Foundation Brush

The Cream Blush Brush

A softly rounded, densely packed brush designed specifically for cream formulas. Its sculpted shape hugs the apples of the cheeks and blends upward with ease, so colour melts into the skin for a diffused, lifted flush without streaks or patchiness. It works as well for a sheer wash of colour as for something more defined. Shop the Cream Blush Brush

The Perfect Blending Brush

Most brushes are built for application. This one is built for everything that happens afterwards. A flat paddle head with a broad, soft edge, it behaves more like a painter's brush, sweeping over areas where foundation, concealer or cream contour has creased and pressing it back into place without lifting the layers beneath. With a touch of moisturiser on the brush, it is also the quiet secret to a midday refresh. Shop the Perfect Blending Brush

The Overliner Lip Liner Pencil

Inspired by Mary Phillips' signature overlining technique. This precise wooden pencil has a creamy, richly pigmented, peptide-infused formula that glides on without skipping and sets to a long-wearing matte finish that resists smudging and feathering. Each neutral shade is curated to enhance your natural lip tone, whether you want subtle definition or a fuller, more sculpted shape. Shop the Overliner

Lip Ciggy Sheer Lipstick Balm

A sheer, shiny slip of colour in a sleek, on-the-go stick, somewhere between a balm and a lipstick. Hyaluronic acid helps lock in moisture and squalane leaves lips soft and supple, while the colour is a sheer wash with a high-shine finish. Made for quick touch-ups anytime, anywhere. Shop Lip Ciggy

Top Coat Hydrating Lip Gloss

A gloss with the makeup of a balm. Jojoba, sweet cherry seed and rosehip oils cushion the lips alongside palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and three forms of vitamin E, so lips feel better once it wears off. The texture is glossy and saturated without being sticky, with sheer to medium buildable coverage and a faint vanilla scent. It is the third step of the m.ph lip routine, though it stands perfectly well on its own. Shop Top Coat

How to use the range

Begin with Underpainting. After skincare, place the colour corrector where you need it, the contour shades under the cheekbones and along the jaw, and the highlighters on the high points, then blend with the fluffy end of the Sculpting Brush and refine around the nose and eyes with the flat end. Press a thin layer of Le Skin over the top with the Foundation Brush so the sculpting shows through softly, and add cream blush with the Cream Blush Brush. For lips, define with the Overliner, fill with Lip Ciggy and finish with Top Coat. Later in the day, sweep the Perfect Blending Brush over any creasing to bring everything back to fresh.

What is Underpainting?

Underpainting is Mary Phillips' technique of correcting, contouring and highlighting the face before foundation rather than after. The Underpainting Face Palette provides the cream shades and the Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush blends them, then a sheer layer of foundation over the top softens everything into a natural, sculpted finish.

How do you create Mary Phillips' signature lip?

It is a three-step routine. Line and softly contour with The Overliner, which is designed for subtle definition or a fuller shape, add a sheer wash of colour and shine with Lip Ciggy, then finish with Top Coat Hydrating Lip Gloss for a glossy, cushioned finish.
