What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

This serum bronzer looks so genuinely skin-like it barely registers as makeup, thanks to a lightweight gel formula that blends seamlessly without drying down or disrupting foundation. Its cool undertones make it excellent for contouring and sculpting, and it's equally wearable applied as a traditional bronzer, with a shade range that reviewers find particularly lovely on fair skin tones.

"This is the Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum in the Shea Fair. If you have fair skin, this is such a gorgeous like not too warm, not too cool. And it's super easy to play with. And I do like that there's like two ways it can come out. You can do the pump. I do the pump because I feel like when I draw on my face sometimes I feel like there's a lot even though it blends really easy. It's more manageable if I do pump this out. And I do like that if I'm running late and I need to hurry and I don't have time to wash my hands after, I will just use the little wand. This stuff is good. It's the best."

What I'd Genuinely Buy YOU at Sephora Right Now

"You guys know I will not shut up about the Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum. There's nothing more skin-like than this. If you want something that's going to give a little bit of a glow, this is it. It has a very sheer buildable coverage and it has a little bit of a gel formula, so it almost hydrates and plumps the skin. It's spectacular. The shade range is great there as well."

The Makeup I’ll ALWAYS Repurchase (All On Sale!!)

"This bronzing serum is insane. It's one of my absolute favorite products ever. It has almost like a gel formula. It's so beautiful, so foolproof, so perfect for everyday. Specifically, if you need a really foolproof bronzing type of a product that doesn't look like makeup, it's never going to look muddy. It's not going to look heavy or cakey or dusty. This is one of my all-time favorite products from Mario, but like in my entire makeup collection in general."

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."

Life Update ❤️ While Trying NEW Makeup

"One thing about Mario's shade range is at least for the fair products it actually goes pretty fair. As I'm blending this out it's giving a very soft glowy sculpt and bronze to the face but it literally looks like it's my skin because the shade is so light but not in a bad way. It definitely is showing up but it just doesn't look too over the top which is actually really nice. It has a watery gel texture which is really unique. It's very sheer, definitely more of an everyday product versus something more glamorous, very clean girl fresh skin vibes. I actually really like that though. It just looks like my skin, it looks like my skin tone got a little hint of sun. It doesn't look like makeup. It definitely has quite a bit of glow added in there as well."

"This is the Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum in the shade fair. You literally can't mess this up. It looks like skin. It's so nice. This is like a gel formula, and you can see it has a nice glow to it. It gives you the right amount of sculpting and bronzing without looking heavy or muddy, which I know with cooler tones, fair skin tone, the balance between sculpting and looking muddy is a tricky one. This product will help with that. You cannot mess this up. It just looks like skin."

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."

"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.

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."

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 🥳

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.

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."

"I wouldn't use this as a bronzer because it's very cool tone, which is why I used it to contour also used it to contour my nose and around my lips. I just kind of blended my nose contour with my finger same with the contour around my lips. I like these a lot. I think that they're impactful while remaining very wearable and simple to use. The formula itself is really easy to work with. When I used the product and I kind of just dotted it on my skin it didn't do that thing that a lot of serum formulas do where it starts to dry up and set quickly. Especially putting on top of a foundation sometimes it can be a little too runny and then it can end up creating a little bit of a patch where it removes the coverage of your foundation. I didn't have that problem with these at all. I would dot dot go in and blend go in and blend and it was completely fine. It wasn't removing product so I'm very excited about these. I'm going to be using them on the regular because I think they create a really beautiful natural finish."
