by Holly O'Neill
22nd Apr 2024

Celebrity make-up artist Mary Phillips shares her beauty must-haves with Holly O’Neill.

My daily vitamins include… Rhodiola rosea, electrolyte powder, vitamin D, vitamin C, quercetin and theanine.

The best advice I’ve ever received is… less is more and know when to walk away.

My lifelong lipstick love is… Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, €28.50.

The foundation I always use or always return to is… Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation, €45.

Everyone should try… therapy.

I’ve always wanted to… learn how to cook.

The beauty appointment I never miss is… a PRP facial with Dr Diamond in Beverly Hills.

The first beauty product I ever bought was…the Clinique 3 Step Skincare System.

The worst beauty mistake I ever made was… trying filler.

The first perfume I loved was… Victoria’s Secret Body Mist in Pear Glacé, €17 but now my signature scent is Tom Ford Lost Cherry, 50ml, €332.

I never travel without… my iPad, Apple Airpod Max headphones, €579 and a Slip Silk Sleep Mask, €55.

I know it’s been a good day if… my bangs come out right.

I switch off from work by… meditating.

After a long work week, I destress by… spending time with my dog and friends, hot yoga and hiking.

I take my make-up off with… La Mer The Cleansing Micellar Water, €545.

My weird make-up hack is… don’t over powder!

My three hair favourites are… Slip Scrunchies, €34, Klorane Dry Shampoo, €14.50 and Y.S Park brushes, from €9.99.

The last beauty item I bought was… the Shani Darden Facial Sculpting Wand, €435.

My go-to nail varnish shade is… something soft white and always sheer, I love Essie Nail Colour in Ballet Slippers, €10.45.

To me, being healthy means… finding time to meditate, rest well and take a minute to appreciate my surroundings.

I feel most beautiful… after hot yoga.

Something I try to do for myself every day is… workout.

I would really like to… learn to play golf.

I recently watched… The Crown and loved it.

My favourite place in the world is… my best friend’s home in Seattle.

The proudest moment of my career has been… driving down Sunset Boulevard and seeing three billboards with my work on them.

Three current obsessions are… shopping on FWRD, Chris Stapleton’s music and the Tracy Anderson Method.

I can’t live without… my dog Alfie.

In my handbag, you’ll always find… Ice Breakers Gum and Strawberry Altoids.
