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.

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.

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.

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.
