Kendall Jenner’s MUA Has Her Own “Underpainting” Line

It’s been over two years since celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips joined TikTok and graced us with the “underpainting” technique she uses on all her high-profile clients (Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Jennifer Lopez, to name a select few), and in those two years, the less-is-more makeup visionary has been gearing up for this moment: launching her very own “underpainting” products.

For the uninitiated, “underpainting” essentially flips a traditional makeup routine on its head, as you apply contour, concealer, and highlighter before foundation for natural-looking definition and an airbrushed finish. “It’s like laying down the bones under the skin, the contour and the highlight being the bones and the skin being the foundation,” Phillips said in an early tutorial. You can use whatever products you prefer, but she does recommend buildable, sheer to medium-coverage formulas (plus very thin layers of foundation) for a seamlessly sculpted look. Enter M.Ph, her own collection of dream tools to absolutely nail that second-skin effect.

The line includes everything you need to master Phillips’s signature beat—including cream blush balms, sleek lipsticks, and velvety-smooth lip pencils—but the star of the show is arguably her Underpainting Palette ($64), a five-pan palette that features one color corrector, two highlighters, and two contours for precise, easy sculpting.
