My No-Overwhelm Guide to the Sephora Sale (What’s Actually Worth It) ✨
"This is from Makeup by Mario. It's the Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum. I have mine in the shade Fair. I'm almost out of this. I [...] love this so much. It gives a beautiful radiance to the outside of the face. Warms up the skin. Doesn't look makeupy whatsoever. This is kind of a product that you could pair with a tint and protect and wear sweatpants and go to the gym and you would just look like a fresher, more defined version of yourself. It's not makeupy whatsoever. It just makes you look healthy and glowy, fresh, and again like skin. So it's very wonderful. I love this."

It just makes you look so healthy. It makes me feel like I look healthy. This has been a staple for me forever. It's one of my all-time favorite holy grail products ever, ever, ever, and by far one of the best products in its category. I still feel like there's really nothing like it. No one else has really done a serumy bronzer."

10 Beauty Products I'm Using ALL SUMMER LONG 😍
"The Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum, I just barely bought this but I haven't stopped wearing it since I bought it. I love that it has a little bit of a sheen to it but it's also almost like watercolor for the face so it's going to give you a very very natural finish and just like a lit from within healthy glow. I'm obsessed with this one already."
FULL FACE OF MAKEUP BY MARIO...
"One of my all-time favorites for like everyday is the Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum. It has a bit of a glow to it, which I really like, and it wears really well on me. So, yeah, this is definitely one of my favorite things from Mario. It's very sheer and buildable, which I love."
My #1 EVERYDAY Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"It's brand new from Makeup by Mario, the Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum, and it is so good. It gives a beautiful fresh finish to the skin and it's not something that gets greasy throughout the day. I just feel like it stays looking good all day long on me. I've been using it in every single video. I like this because it's not too overpowering either. It's kind of like if you mixed a tinted moisturizer with a bronzer that's very much like the effect that it gives. Layering it with a tinted moisturizer I feel like is perfect because you get a very similar vibe and texture throughout the whole face. This just adds a little bit of glow, a little bit of shape, a little bit of warmth, and it's all I need."

"This is the Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum. The cool thing about this is it has a pump and also has a little applicator on the bottom. This is like a very good everyday bronzer. It has a formula that's almost gel-like so it's very easy to blend. It never looks bad."

The Makeup I Can't Get Out of My Head... It's SO Good!
"Das ist ein absolut schönes Produkt."
My Stress-Free Sephora Savings Guide! 🤗🛍️
"I have the shade Fair. I'm wearing this all over the skin and honestly I love this one. I love this shade for more of an everyday situation because I have very fair skin and sometimes a contour or a bronzer feels a little bit intense for me but not this. I feel like I can put this all over and it looks so natural. It does have a little bit of a glow and it kind of has a gel consistency as well. A little goes a long way but it's a beautiful product. You can pump it out which I always do because I like having more control with a brush, or you can unscrew it."
IT'S TIME! THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2025 🥳
"The Mario Soft Sculpt Multi-Use Bronzing and Shaping Serum. This is so incredible. Since I was very much into the classic reliable everyday makeup routine this year, this is one that I used on seriously a daily basis. It's by far my most used bronzing product this year. I feel like if there's one thing from this entire video, honestly, that I would recommend to almost everyone, it's this serum. It is so good."
THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2024!!! (Final Episode)
"The Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum is one of my favorite things in my entire makeup collection. It works for everyday or glamorous occasions and comes in handy so many times. [...] It has a little glow so it gives a lit from within appearance while sculpting and warming up the face. The shade fair is perfect for super fair skin, [...] it's very lightweight, [...] and the formula is divine. Ten out of ten on the packaging too, with both a pump and a dropper."
Yay
"I like these a lot I think that they're impactful while remaining very very like wearable and simple to use"
