Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum Review

There’s something about having a bronzy, sun-kissed glow that lifts our mood instantly and makes us feel a little spunkier as we go about our day. Whether it’s from the actual sun or a faux glow doesn’t matter. That’s why were always excited to test out new bronzers — especially when they come from one of our favorite makeup brands: Makeup by Mario.

The brand recently launched the Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum ($36), a liquid bronzer that can be used in a variety of ways to enhance the skin. It features a dual applicator with a pump and a doe; the pump applicator can be used if you want all-over warmth, while the doe foot can be utilized for precise application and “targeted” sculpt.

There are seven different shades available: fair, light, light medium, medium, medium dark, dark, and dark deep. The key ingredients include hyaluronic acid to hydrate, as well as vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory.

The product is available for purchase starting May 15 on the Sephora app and on May 16 at Sephora and the Makeup by Mario website. To see whether or not it was worth the hype, we asked three editors with different skin types and tones to test the new liquid bronzer and share their honest thoughts.
