Makeup by Mario Medium Soft Sculpt BronzerMakeup by Mario Medium Soft Sculpt Bronzer ($ 28.00 for 0.42 oz.) Is a medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, finely ground, and slightly powdery in the pan, if not too messy. It had medium pigmentation in a single layer that could be built up to full coverage with two to three layers.
The product was applied evenly to bare skin and blended with little effort, and while the finish was fairly matte, it didn’t emphasize any dryness / skin texture. It wore well for eight hours before it faded noticeably on me.

Formula overview
$ 28.00 / 0.42 oz. – $ 66.67 per ounce
The formula is said to have a “soft, smooth” consistency that provides “buildable” coverage. It has a very smooth, finely ground feel with light powder in the pan, but it wasn’t enough to be messy or difficult to pick up evenly. The finish was very matte to the point where it lay a little flat against the skin and tended to pick up any luminosity from bare skin or base products.
This type of texture hasn’t worked well for me in the past, but luckily I haven’t had any issues with this one! The powder was applied evenly to bare skin, blended well, and didn’t accentuate the natural texture of my skin. They had a medium to semi-opaque buildable color release that lasted for about eight to nine hours on me before it visibly faded.
