Michelle's Personal Story

Hey thereBeautiful,

Hi, I’m Michelle Phillips—and my mission is to help women rediscover their radiance, especially during one of the most overlooked and misunderstood seasons of life: menopause.

​

For over two decades, I’ve worked as a celebrity makeup artist, beauty and wellness, expert, national TV personality, and bestselling author.

 

From Hollywood red carpets and national TV stages to private coaching and speaking tours, I’ve dedicated my life to helping women look and feel beautiful inside and out.

​

But my real story? It’s not about perfection. It’s about transformation.

​

Years ago, I hit a breaking point. From the outside, my life looked flawless—an exciting career, a beautiful home, three amazing kids. But on the inside, I was unraveling. I was in an unhappy marriage, financially stressed, and losing sight of who I really was. The façade of perfection was exhausting, and I felt like I had no roadmap back to myself.

​

Then came what I call “the perfect storm”: my marriage ended, my full-time job was cut, and I found myself raising three kids on food stamps while painting on a smile for live television each morning.

 

On the same day my best friend called to tell me she was dying, she gave me a gift—the challenge to truly start living. That moment changed everything.

I committed to doing the inner work to reclaim myself.

 

I became a certified life coach. I combined that with my years of expertise in makeup and beauty, creating my inside-out process that has since helped thousands of women redefine beauty, silence their inner critic, and step fully into lives that feel authentic and fulfilling.

​

And now, in my fifties, another chapter of my story unfolded: menopause.

 

Despite everything I knew, I still found myself struggling—with my skin, my hair, my confidence, my energy, even my sense of self.

 

And once again, I realized I wasn’t alone. Women everywhere were quietly battling these changes, feeling invisible, frustrated, and unsure of how to reclaim the vibrant, confident woman inside.

​

This is why my work today is so deeply personal. I’m here to demystify menopause and aging, to share the beauty, wellness, and mindset tools that actually work, and to empower you to look in the mirror and love the woman staring back.

​

Because you are not “past your prime.” You are entering your power years. And I want to help you not just survive this transition—but thrive through it.

​

Through my podcast The Beauty Shift, my new membership community, speaking, and media appearances, I provide real solutions for real women. From beauty and skincare expertise to science-backed wellness and mindset strategies, my goal is to help you feel confident, radiant, and unapologetically yourself at every stage of life.

​

You don’t have to accept invisibility. You don’t have to settle for feeling less than.

​

It’s time to shift the story.
It’s time to redefine beauty.
It’s time to love the woman you see in the mirror.

And that, my radiant friend, is what I   believe real beauty is all about.
