Overview
m.ph beauty blends skincare-infused makeup with professional techniques, founded by Mary Phillips in 2025. Its lineup, including the Underpainting Face Palette and Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation, uses ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane to nourish skin while sculpting and highlighting. It differentiates itself by centering the underpainting technique and celebrity artistry in consumer products, not just generic makeup. The goal is to popularize Phillips’ methods for a broad audience through direct-to-consumer sales and Sephora retail, aiming for a significant share of core products in its business.
