I was super intimidated by highlighting and contouring at first, but thankfully, Seint makeup is fool-proof thanks to being blendable and buildable! Don’t believe me? Check it out below!

HIGHLIGHTING AND CONTOURING MADE SIMPLE!

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED? One of the most unique things about Seint makeup

is that all of our compacts are customizable, so you can create the perfect palette for you!

Here’s the starter set that I often recommend as a base and then you can add from there! (Don’t worry, I will color match you to find your perfect shades just click here).

HIGHLIGHT

This color should be lighter than your natural skin tone. The yellow turns creamy on the skin and gives you a “lit from within” glow! With the small end of the hac brush apply this shade to the bridge of the nose, beneath your eyes and down the side of the nose in a pie piece shape, between your brows, on the chin and along the jawline. Check out our shades here or click here for a free color match.

CONTOUR

This color should be deeper than your natural skin tone. It creates and accentuates the “shadows” on your face, giving dimension and a gorgeous sculpt to your face! Using the large end of the Detail Brush apply the contour color round the edges of your face, down the neck, the side of your nose and beneath your cheekbones.

LIP + CHEEK

This rosy tone brings out your eyes, makes the face appear more youthful and warms your complexion. Apply this with a brush, sponge or fingertip to the apples of your cheeks and to the center of your lips. We've got SO many shades which you can check out here!

ILLUMINATOR

Finish everything with this gorgeous shimmery cream! It gives the face a candlelit dewiness and perfects your complexion. Apply with fingertip to the top of your cheekbones, the bow of your lip and beneath the arch of your brow.

MAGNETIC (& REFILLABLE) PALETTE

We've got the best patterns and they come in a variety of sizes. I love that our compacts are magnetic and make it easy to refill on tin at a time!

IIID BRUSH OR BUFF BRUSH

Our brushes not only make application quick and easy thanks to being double-sided, but they also help ensure a flawless finish! They are super high-quality and each come with a one-year warranty! If you need more coverage, I recommend the Buff Brush.

OTHER ITEMS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT

REFRESH MAKEUP REMOVING WIPES

These gentle, 2-in-1 facial wipes remove makeup, cleanse away the day, and tone skin for an even, silky complexion. Wipes are crafted with the opulent quality of Cleanser and Toner, so there’s no need to rinse- just finish with Creme and bask in your effortless glow.

BRUSH CLEANING SPRAY Brush Cleanser is a spray specifically engineered to dissolve bacteria and remove makeup residue from your brushes quickly and easily. Spritz the end of your brush with the Brush Cleanser (a little goes a long way!) and gently brush it back and forth on a cloth or paper towel until it brushes clean. Be careful not to oversaturate the brush!

PERFECTOR SPONGE

This Perfector Sponge is the softest & longest lasting makeup sponge I’ve come across. Oh and it’s cheaper too!! #winwin

BELLA BRONZER

CREAM bronzer is LIFE-CHANGING, y’all! Seriously, it blends to perfection and is buildable so you can use less or more depending on the glow you are trying to achieve or how tan you!

VANILLA DUST SETTING POWDER

For those of you who like a more matte finish, this setting powder will be clutch! It’s translucent so it won’t cover up the gorgeous dimension you just added to your face by HACing, yet aids in keeping your makeup in place all day long!

WHY I LOVE SEINT CUSTOM MAKEUP PALETTES

Our refillable palette system eliminates any colors you don’t need, allows you to refill shade by shade, and organizes your routine all into one space. It also makes it easy to change up your look by swapping out colors at any time.

Palettes come customized with your choice of foundation, blush, illuminator, powders, and/or eyeshadows. Say goodbye to the days of buying whole palettes full of shades you don’t want or need.
