TL;DR:
- What it is: A lightweight liquid bronzer and contour serum
- What it does: Adds warmth and soft definition with a skin-like finish
- Who it’s for: Anyone intimidated by traditional contour products
My mornings usually look the same: coffee, Wordle, makeup, sprint to the subway, and a full day of meetings. So when someone says it looks like I’ve gotten some sun, I take that as the highest compliment.
The truth? Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Bronzing & Shaping Serum deserves most of the credit. The celebrity makeup artist calls it his “softest sculpt yet” (hence, the name), and I get what he means: It’s nearly impossible to overdo.
Here’s how I use it: After applying foundation and concealer, I swipe the doe-foot applicator along my forehead, beneath my cheekbones, and around my jawline, then blend everything out with a dense, angled contour brush.
I never feel like I have to be especially precise—and that’s exactly what I want from an everyday bronzer. It just makes me look like I spent a little more time in the sunshine than I actually did. (My weekly screentime report would beg to differ.) And if glow is what I’m going for, a couple of drops—used like an allover primer—give the prettiest, dewiest finish.
Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Bronzing & Shaping Serum is in the July Allure Beauty Box.
