MAKEUP BY MARIO's Jelly Jar Lip & Cheek Balm has a unique, bouncy texture that feels emollient and almost oily, with rich pigment on lips that doesn't settle into fine lines. However, several creators found it too balmy for cheeks, noting it picks up and moves makeup underneath, and wear time is short—lasting only 3-4 hours. Monica Ravi-Conway, specializing in brown and olive skin tones, rates the formula 3/5 and recommends it for lips only, not cheeks.

MIXED / NEGATIVE
Variant: Pink Sugar
- “I personally have not had a positive experience with it on my cheeks. I have found that it picks up and kind of rehydrates and moves anything I'm wearing underneath, and it's just far too balmy for my skin type and also my makeup tastes”10:42–10:45
- “On the lips, these are really nice. It has a really bouncy plush texture and a rich amount of pigment, too, that doesn't separate or settle into the fine lines”10:53–11:01

- “I give the formula a three out of five”
- “I'm not like obsessed with this. I think it's meh. So, I'm gonna ghost”
