Today, I’m excited to share a game-changing discovery that has dramatically transformed my makeup routine: switching from a powder bronzer to a bronzing stick.

First, let me be clear—I am not a makeup expert. Far from it! But if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that sometimes the smallest changes can make the biggest difference. Case in point: my recent switch from the classic Benefit bronzer to the Makeup by Mario bronzing stick. Spoiler alert—it’s been a total game changer.

For years, I was a loyal user of Benefit’s powder bronzer. It’s a cult favourite, and for good reason. The shade was perfect, and it always gave my skin a lovely, sun-kissed glow. But as someone who’s not exactly skilled in the art of makeup application, I often struggled with getting that perfect blend. More often than not, I’d end up with harsh lines or an uneven finish. Not to mention, powder bronzer can sometimes accentuate dry patches, making my skin look flaky rather than flawless.

After one too many makeup mishaps, I decided to venture into the world of cream bronzers. That’s when I stumbled upon the Makeup by Mario bronzing stick. Intrigued by the promise of a more natural and effortless application, I decided to give it a go. And let me tell you, I’m never looking back!

The first thing I noticed about the bronzing stick was how incredibly easy it is to apply. Unlike powder bronzers, which require a brush and a certain level of skill, the stick format allows for a more intuitive application. Simply swipe it on where you want that bronzed effect, and blend. It’s that simple. Blending has always been my nemesis, but the creamy texture of the Makeup by Mario bronzing stick makes it a breeze. It melts into the skin effortlessly, creating a seamless, natural-looking finish. No more harsh lines or uneven patches—just a smooth, sun-kissed glow.

One of the things I love most about the bronzing stick is its buildable coverage. Whether I’m going for a subtle daytime look or a more dramatic evening contour, the bronzing stick delivers. You can easily layer the product to achieve your desired level of bronziness without it looking cakey or overdone. The bronzing stick isn’t just for adding warmth to the face. I’ve also started using it as an eyeshadow base and even as a contour stick. Its versatility has simplified my makeup routine, reducing the number of products I need to achieve a full look.

Lastly, the cream formula is a boon for my skin. Unlike powder bronzers, which can sometimes highlight imperfections, the creamy texture of the Makeup by Mario bronzing stick hydrates and smooths the skin, giving it a healthy, dewy finish.

Switching from a powder bronzer to a bronzing stick has been a revelation. It’s made my makeup routine quicker, easier, and the results are far superior. If you’re struggling with powder bronzer like I was, I highly recommend giving a bronzing stick a try. The Makeup by Mario bronzing stick has been a game changer for me, and I’m confident it could be for you too.
