  • “This is probably my favorite makeup product of the year”8:27–8:30

  • “It's a great product. You see so many people talk about this and it is for good reason in my eyes. It's a brilliant product. It's like a no-brainer. You can't go too hard with it”14:44–14:50

  • “This is such a unique bronzing formula”3:01–3:03
  • “I have gone through multiple of these at this point”
  • “It's a product that I constantly hit pan on and it's a product that I use up to its entirety very regularly”3:07–3:12
  • “This product is initially kind of semi-sheer and you'll see when you blend it into the skin it's just gonna look like a sun-kissed tint on the skin”3:18–3:30
  • “There's a little bit of pearl so it does give some glow which I love because my skin is dry”3:30–3:34
  • “It really doesn't read onto the skin as super luminous or overly glowy to where you look like you have highlighter in the bronzer”3:37–3:41
  • “It just enhances the complexion and gives you that radiance”3:45–3:48
  • “When I wear the MAKEUP BY MARIO skin enhancer underneath makeup it still peeks out”4:07–4:12

  • “If you watch my channel, you know that I love this product”8:57–9:01
  • “Purchased my first one a couple of years ago. Completely emptied that one. Okay, did you hear that? I completely emptied a bronzer, a cream bronzer”9:13–9:21
  • “This is like a skin tint but then in a cream bronzer form. It is absolutely amazing and I cannot rave about this enough”9:21–9:30
  • “It has that opacity that I love so much. It lets your skin shine through. It's not a streak of bronzer like you know a paint stripe on your face”9:30–9:37
  • “The only thing that I would say because it's quite emollient. If you have oily skin, this is still a great product, but you're going to want to set it down”9:39–9:46
  • “As you can see, it has a little bit of warmth, but it's a very neutral bronzer at the same time, but it's not orange. It's not red. It's a very neutral yellowy kind of bronzer that has warmth to it”
  • “This blends like butter”13:04–13:07

Brand note

Makeup by Mario is a brand built around neutral, user-friendly eyeshadow formulas that lean matte and perform reliably for daily wear. The Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals is its clearest anchor — a versatile, all-matte palette that blends easily and suits a range of skin tones, though the pans can be fragile. The cream shadows offer serious longevity and a diffused finish, but the matte formula can feel drying on eyelids, especially for those with dry skin or flakiness.
