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

    What the gurus are saying

    Tapping the product into skin rather than swiping is key to getting the best blend and finish. Gurus praise it as a strong choice for those wanting structure and definition without cool undertones, though the tapping technique does require a deliberate hand rather than a quick application. The warm tone works well across different skin tones for natural-looking sculpting.

    "This is such an incredible product. [...] I feel like this is such a good product for sculpting and bronzing the skin. It's like the perfect color for me. I feel for those times where I want that structure but I don't want it to be too cool toned."

    "I'm just going to take my Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Shaping Stick and she uses such a beautiful light hand when applying this so I'm just going to kind of tap it into the skin trying to mimic what she did."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
