PLEASE do not leave a comment telling me I am applying this wrong. I have seen plenty of these "artists" apply it just like I did, so I will take those comments as being angry that I don't share your same opinion on these products, not constructive criticism on application. If $250 worth of makeup has to be applied one certain way to work, I don't want it anyways. Also, any sellers that hijack the comments trying to convince others that state they don't like it that they need to try again because it's the best thing since sliced bread, you will be blocked. We are ALL allowed our opinions, and what works for you may not work for others and vice versa. After all....it's JUST MAKEUP! Have a great day!
You are applying this wrong!!!! Lol just kidding 😁, I’ve never used this stuff nor had any interest, you looked very lovely in the products, as you do in your other makeup as well. I’m personally not an Mlm fan myself as I see a lot of these companies exploiting hard working women making promises of freedom and lifestyle, they don’t deliver to most, but that’s just my personal opinion each to their own 😊. Thank you for the video it was nice to receive an unbiased opinion.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! You def shouldn’t have to learn a new way of applying makeup to make something work! No thanks. You also shouldn’t need special brushes, applicators etc.
The backlash is because many MLM reps are subject to indoctrination and many experts consider them a commercial cult. It’s hard to have a rational conversation with someone who is subject to undo influence and their whole life is consumed by their “business”.
I tried it at 52 and spent a lot of money and it made me look older than my cream and powder foundations. Thank you for the honest review. I also applied many different ways and none of them worked. I did like one of the correctors for redness
It’s great to finally have an HONEST review of Saint by someone who isn’t trying to sell it to me at the end !!! Thank you ! I just wanted to add something that I didn’t say when I just created this post: she looks quite beautiful with the makeup on!
As someone who HAS bitten the MLM apple, AND disliked it, I have to say it’s a NO WIN for those people selling it, IMHO. In order to recuperate the money spent on inventory I felt like I had to sell it hard and I didn’t like doing that. I also decided I didn’t want to spend my free time pursuing a business. That is so competitive, it’s almost like trying to sell jewelry on Etsy , you’re a very small fish and a very big ocean for this reason I think most MLM suck and I don’t want to support them. It’s also much harder for independent sellers with MLM companies because there’s so many other places people can buy make up.
As a licensed makeup artist, I agree with pretty much everything you say and I applaud your bravery for posting factual information in the face of the MLM mob. How do these people say it's cruelty free if it contains carmine? To get carmine you have to boil beetles. Do they just boil them gently?
@@77andsunny It's common in food, too, so I'm not bothered by the "ick" factor. We've all been eating it for decades. Can't imagine it's vegan, though. Haha.
Welcome to the world of "everyone is a professional in everything" I have a Bachelors in clinical nutrition. There are hundreds of MLM's that are nutrition based, and the promoters dare call themselves "nutritionists"
I have a master's degree from Vanderbilt as a nurse midwife, and I'm sick of "doulas" on tik tok thinking they are "birth experts" and giving medical advice 😑🙄
For some reason many people are more willing to listen to a social media voice with no academic credentials than someone who is trained and educated formally. I do NOT get it.
Yes! They’re all experts it’s a wild world if you look into it. Also i find it extremely disrespectful to the people who’ve actually put in the work, time, effort, gotten the education &/or certification. It’s flippin dangerous as well, pseudoscience and false claims run wild in the so many of these mlms. 😤
Finally an actual makeup artist reviewing this company. As a makeup artist I get asked about them all the time but could never find non sales “makeup artists”
You really are the definition of a true professional versus somebody who just calls themself one - you can see it through your video and the way you talk even just the way you explain everything and how you knew that inbred was the issue with a product that made people breakout! Great video new sub here
I have been using Seint for over a year. I love it!! It does take a minute to get the hang of it. I set it with Charlotte Tilbury setting spray. I do use powder after the setting spray.
Haven’t watched your video yet but already so excited to hear your thoughts! These products are EVERYWHERE and I am glad to finally hear thoughts from a makeup artist I respect ❤
@@MandyDavisMUA great video!! And so glad I haven’t given in and bought it, your thoughts are kind of what I anticipated might be the case. thank you for sharing!
Now I know, since I've never heard of or seen this make up brand before. I guess it soon comes here, to Norway as well. I'll stay away. But we do have e.l.f all over, i never realised it's made in China, but wondered why its so extremely cheap.
I do not sell Seint, I have used it for 2.5 years and solely love it for the compactness! It gives me a pretty glow and takes me less than 10 minutes if I’m in a rush. However, I have many friends who do not enjoy it and it makes their face feel oily/slimey… to each their own, I enjoyed listening to your review. :) Also, you are beautiful!
I also do not sell it & I have used it (not exclusively) since the first version launched. ( buy direct online -no ‘artist’ )I liked it because creams work better for me, and because it was the only place I could find a contour color that worked for me (that has since changed.) I do still use Bobbi Brown under eye corrector & I don’t like the blushes. I also like to have a few face shades to get my perfect shade-it is easier to do that with creams than powders. I have never tried the eye shadows - they seem expensive.
I have used Seint for 5 years (dont sell it) and love it! My artist is a cosmetologist and she takes it seriously... always matches me perfectly. One tip is to put 2 pans of your main color and bronzer side by side for bigger brushes. Works for me! I'm 45 now and still loving it! Beautiiful makeup in this video. ❤
Preach! This is the review I needed! I feel like I’m struggling with it and everyone else out there on SM seems to think it’s amazing. I was just in another video venting about my issues with these products and you pretty well covered all my thoughts. I do NOT like the marketing of being told I’m too old to use certain products (I’m 42 also), nor the scare tactics I see some use to say the ingredients in other brands are “toxic.” And the kicker, if I’m having an issue with a product, it’s not the product but user error. 🤨 I told my rep that I shouldn’t have to be a Seint “artist” to be able to make it (particularly Demi) work. I have been experimenting with Demi for months with all different peachy undereye shades and I just cannot get the coverage level of my other concealers. I literally have bruises under my eyes so I need the confidence of feeling like I have the best coverage possible. I don’t get that with Demi. I heard a Seint artist say, “well you might have to sacrifice coverage if you don’t want to look older.” I dunno, when I used Demi or IIID, I think it looked pretty bad either way. Okay, I’ll stop. I could literally go on forever about this. 😂
@@heatherphillips8763 I’ve watched dozens. I know you don’t just apply it like regular concealer. Still, the color correction isn’t good enough for me. I am literally trying to cover bruise level darkness under the eyes.
@@AnitasLoveifyBut even applying it with a super light strokes it simply doesn't neutralize or camouflage my dark purple circles. So I tried adding light layers to get more coverage and wound up looking like a 99 y/o woman. If a $6 drug store corrector applies and blends easier and covers better than a $20 corrector there's a problem with the product not working for everyone especially those of us with very dry mature undereyes. No makeup can work on everyone. I shouldn't have to bend over backwards to get something to work or look good. I tried and tried until conveniently the window of opportunity to return them had passed. I'd be happy to send them to you for half what I paid since they work for you.
I felt your pain on them being called makeup artists!!! That’s how I feel about the MLM ppl and influencers selling hair care drives me insane after I went to school for a year these ppl are out here telling ppl how to take care of their hair 😂
At last! I’d noticed lots of the Seint “makeup artists” popping up in my insta. So, I decided to look into Seint on the internet and did a RUclips search and found you. I have to say, you can tell you’re a proper makeup artist as you have made the makeup look lovely. My biggest gripe is the fact that they call themselves makeup artists when they are clearly not. Thank you for this honest review. ❤
they charge an astronomical amount for being such mediocre makeup.. the reason for the pricing is because they’re an MLM and have to account for the people that have to pay for selling their products for them. 🤦🏼♀️
I’m so grateful for an honest review. I also have $200+ worth of Seint that feels like it slides off my face before I start my day. I’ve applied many different ways. It’s just not making me look better.
I feel like it looks so dewy and pretty though on you! Which is how I think it looks on my two girlfriends who sell it! Its a win for me! Theyre makeup looks dewy and natural and not caked on! Im going to give it a go! ❤
I think anything would look beautiful on you, BUT I love your finished look here with the subtle from within glow. Simple enough for everyday wear, but still just stunning!❤️
So I totally caved and bought this makeup. Bought with my own money, I am not affiliated with seint in anyway shape or form, however after seeing this all over the place for so long I just had to give it a go. I purchased the No. 8 palette collection, in level 3 which comes with (according to the site) 3 highlights, 1 contour, 1 bronzer, 2 lips + blush, 1 illuminator and their standard double sided brush. It ended up being about $175 I think. This palette literally arrived today and I tried it immediately once I got home from work, and honestly I have zero real complaints. It blends beautifully, it’s full coverage but doesn’t feel like a mask, doesn’t transfer and has a gorgeous shiny dewy finish to it (without feeling wet) that I just love. Definitely requires setting spray to seal the deal however all in all I’m very impressed. The lips are eh, but work brilliantly for blush instead. The only real downside I’ve found is that the brush it came with is kinda crappy in my opinion and absorbs a lot of product. I didn’t buy the brush separately it just came with the palette so I’m not complaining. I’ve never been really good at makeup so ig it could be that maybe I’m just not too picky at all, but I think it looks great and am definitely planning to pursue making this my daily full face. HOWEVER, I do have naturally really dry skin and this is a really dewy makeup when first applied so I could totally see how if you have more oily skin that this makeup may not work as well. Of course I say all of this from FIRST IMPRESSION! Tomorrow I’ll be really putting this potentially new full face to the test when I wear it to work (I have a 10 hour shift tomorrow so this will be a good opportunity to test its longevity) and if anything ends up changing my mind I’ll comment a follow up underneath this post.
I purchased this when it was named Maskara and felt like I was ripped off. My pores look shiny and I have to use so much to get it to spread or “warm up” on my face. You have incredible skin. I could barely tell the difference between your skin and the foundation. Great review!
Wow! Just came across you Mandy. First of all, you are STUNNING!!!! Loved your video and what you said about each one! I took notes so I can do make up like you! 😁😁 Very nicely done!
I wasted a ton of money on Seint myself. And the consultant was rude to me when I kept telling her that the Demi correctors that I bought specifically for my undereyes not only werent correcting or neutralizing my dark purple circles, it is dry wax so it sucked any moisture out of my already dry undereyes and made my wrinkles look like the crypt keeper. She said then youre using the wrong eye cream and applying too much. She recommended a $90 eye cream and said this makeup doesnt work well with products that contain silicones. When I pointed out to her that the eye cream she recommended had dimithecone in it she then had a ridiculous excuse. I sent pics of how bad my undereyes looked with Demi and she kept saying I mustve applied it wrong so I asked if we could do a video/FaceTime session to figure out what she thought I was doing wrong and she refused. She made me believe there was something wrong with me and that nobody else has struggled with Demi looking awful under their eyes and then tried to tell me I bought the wrong colors and need x color now and thats why the colors werent camoflauging or concealing my undereyes. Yet I bought the demi shades she told me to get! And she conveniently disappeared when I told her I wanted to return them. She kept making me practice more and by the time she stopped responding it was past the return period. I was able to use the cream products but not with the demi brushes she had me buy. They are too soft to pick up any cream or blend. I told her even drugstore corrector and concealer covers my dark circles better and looks less aging than this stuff. Anyone else with dry aging mature skin and dark purple wrinkled undereyes have the same problem? Using less product didnt cover anything. It doesnt work on textured undereyes.
@@MandyDavisMUAThank you. Watching your video and seeing that the Demi didn't meet your needs made me feel better and realize it wasn't just me that it didn't work for.
I tried Seint makeup because I am a minimal makeup kind of girl. I am super oily but I was assured that it would work on my skin. My pores were so pronounced with this on and it seemed to slide off of my oily skin even though I set it with powder. I never tried the eyeshadow, but that would be the only thing I would try going forward.
When I changed brushes, it changed for me. Pores are no longer visible and coverage is great. Less product. Also, change colors, you may need a shade darker.
I found it is a great product I’m 56 years old and since I’ve been using Saint every time I pick up my other foundation from drugstore to high end nothing compares
Thanks for doing this video, Mandy! Just as you said, I can’t scroll Instagram without being hit with a seint salesperson. Your premise for this video was perfect - a review of the makeup itself. I’ve been curious to know what a true makeup artist thinks, even though I don’t plan to buy. Not interested in buying from an MLM and getting hit up with all that nonsense. But also, I find it very off-putting that so many of these “artists” come across as, “those of us who use this makeup are smarter than all you losers who are missing out”. Eeh, it’s a hard pass for me.
Seint drives me nuts because of their marketing tactics. If you strip away the aggressive mlm techniques what you are left with is just a run of the mill makeup company that is just meh. Not ground breaking. Not horrific. If it was on a store shelf would it really be such a huge deal? Most likely , no.
I don’t either I always question “why isn’t it in stores if it’s that great, why didn’t it make it to shelves” especially during a day n age where MLMs are so frowned upon I have such a hard time believing that anyone would choose to make their company an mlm unless that was their only choice 😬
OMG YOU SAVED ME! Thank you for this video. I breakout so bad from Bismuth Oxychloride and at 52 I am not going through that again. Takes three years to heal from that!
I don’t even wear makeup but somehow ended up here and I’m glad because I am FASCINATED by your review! This is great…I LOVE me an honest review of anything! Thank you very much.
I have used Seint and I like it pretty well, I am more dry skinned, at first my skin felt greasy. They say you adjust to it and that actually happened. I don’t breakout with it at all. And it does match my skin color well..
You are so right about the fact there is so much makeup on the market you can find one that works for you. I certainly don’t have everything from one line that I love but I must,say I do,love my ND pallets! Yes I put the one you were talking about in my Sephora order and I do love it! Thanks 😊
love your video your straight talk no nonsense information. i am 66 years young and like my tinted moisturizer but have an issue with finding the right concealer or even corrector. Tried the demi and does not cancel or even diminish my dark circles. And for me less is better. thank you for the information you provide.
I'm so glad you made this video...I use Seint makeup except for the eyeshadow and I have to say I love it, and to be honest the pos contact I went through was not and has not been the slightest bit pushy what so ever, thank goodness.
The biggest bone of contention I have with Seint makeup is that it’s made in China. It used to be made here but production was cheaper in China so they moved their production there as of 2021. Two other brands I will not support/purchase from because they’re both made in China are e.l.f. and Danessa Myrick. It’s strictly a humanitarian issue for me and it should be for others as well. To say you support “cruelty free” products knowing how the Chinese Communist Party brutalizes their own people in ways that we went to war over in WWII is basically being a hypocrite. Do what’s right ladies… karma’s a bitch. End of rant.
I agree with you 💯 and I also do not support Danessa Myrick makeup because it’s made in China. I look at labels and try to avoid made in China when possible. I like to support as many companies that make products in the USA even if I pay more for them.
@@OceanluvOC thanks, sometimes I feel like an oddball and wonder, doesn’t this bother anyone else but me, so I appreciate your comment. I won’t shop at Walmart or Target because over 70% of their products come from China even the brand Better Homes and Gardens. Hopefully more people will start reading labels again like they used 20 and 30 years ago. With online purchasing Amazon at least has the “country of origin” listed in the product details category. Edit: I take back my last statement in that now the country of origin shows “imported.” Way to go Amazon.
@@christinescott5002 does that matter? To me, any company that moves their production from the USA to China after they become popular since production costs are lower which means they can make higher profits is a company I won’t do business with. But that’s just me.
@@susanbowman3865 I am merely asking for clarification. Some people care, some don’t. Some care about possible quality control and US job creation issues, some care about the human rights issues. Many higher end companies also produce their products in China- IT Cosmetics, Urban Decay, ABH, Eve Pearl, Tarte, etc. It has unfortunately become more cost effective to produce some products like eyeshadows over there. Sometimes consumers pick and choose from a variety of products made outside China.
I really like Seint makeup and the skin care line is great too. (no I don't sell it either LOL) I do have to blot and reapply the powder mid day but otherwise I love it.
While you’re saying “this just doesn’t do anything for me”, I’m over here thinking my lawd, that looks incredibly beautiful and flawless on you! I do agree with your “pet peeves”…..although, I have to also admit that in my experience and IMHO, creams always look sooooo much better and more beautiful on the more mature women (my oily self included) ❤️
Very fair to feel that way for sure. Powders have come a long way in formulations and certain ones are some of my faves to use on mature clients, but same could be said for certain creams as well.
Luckily, at age 74, I have really smooth (zero textured) skin with no sun spots and almost no wrinkles, so the Demi works really well for me under my eyes, on the sides of my nose (for a bit of slight redness) and for a few tiny (almost negligible) sun spots. Using one color under eye concealer is just too much makeup for me personally. I do not need an all over concealer, the reason I prefer the Demi color correctors. I can see how the Demi color correctors would not be enough coverage for a lot of women, but it works perfectly for me. I do not sell the Demi - I simply use it. I inherited my mother’s Black Irish olive complexion, so I am fortunate and have never required foundation.
I’ve only been using Seint for about 6 months but love it so far! I’ve only used 2 eyeshadows and not a fan as the ones I have don’t seem to be finely milled, but I was drawn to Seint in the first place because I wanted all of my makeup in one compact that looks nice 😊 I’ve tried a lot of concealers but I find the highlighter I use doesn’t crease at all and doesn’t fade by the end of the day.
As someone who is blessed in being able to apply makeup as most , it works for me. as a teacher , it’s conducive to my lifestyle and application knowledge . she has definite points to the brush , however the idea of seint is relatively solid.
Thank you so much for making this video! I see this brand everywhere and they make it seem like it's the best thing ever. Yet when I read people's reviews most say they have a difficult time using it. I tend to stay away from mlm's so thank you so reassuring me😁
i totally agree with your comment about the age thing. Not everybody gets dry when they age. I am over 50 and am just as oily now as I was when I was a teenager- still get hormonal acne break outs too. I prefer anything light liquid and I adore powder foundations!
May I ask what light foundations powders work for you? I too am 50 & can't seem to find a perfect solution for my oily, acne prone & mature skin. Also large pores
I purchased Seint over the summer and I really like their products. I was so frustrated with liquid foundations giving me poke a dots on my noise! I have had good luck with the demi as most concealers crease on me. I do have the same issue with both the blush and bronzer that I add my Hourglass bronzer on top as well. I do like the packaging as well and wish more companies would stop using so much plastic that gets thrown away!
You are beautiful but I can't get over how GORGEOUS you look (especially your eyes) at the end of the video.. and this actually makes me want to buy Seint! 😉
The shame about all of this is that you could throw a pantry full of food ingredients on your face and still look flawless and gorgeous 😂😂 but I’m so glad you did this and saved your American friends the money 💚
Girl, I don’t care what kind of artist you are. You have to keep wearing saint to get used to it and yes, his brushes do make a difference. I have gone back to all kinds of make up after wearing for a year. I always go back to Saint.
Hey Denise. I just went to Seint's website. I noticed that they have a "login" tab. Perhaps you could create an account, login, and then modify the notification settings for your account. You might actually be able to turn off their adverts in your Instagram feed. I haven't tried this, I'm just thinking of a possible option for you. Good luck. Peace, Calvin.
I’m 46 years old . I’m definitely in that category for sure. I was almost convinced that I was doing something wrong using my liquid and powders … how ever I’m extremely oily 😅 and this just won’t work at all and need extra coverage cause I have hyperpigmentation 😢. thank you for your expertise!❤
Finally someone that doesn't sell it giving your honest opinion. It is always so interesting to me to watch the "artists" apply it but I never know if it lasts throughout the day, etc... I do think it looked very pretty on your skin. Stay blessed!!!
@@neece2818 I didn't say I didn't like it. In fact, I said I thought it looked pretty. I am intrigued and before I spend $200 I'd really like to see "outside" opinions. Make sense?
Thank you so much Mandy, you just saved me a fortune! I could have stopped after the foundation ingredient list but enjoy you so I finished the video. You really are still the best!
I love that everyone has a different perspective, and from someone who prefers a natural look, and isn't a make up artist, I ordered it and really even more excited now after seeing your review. (I don't contour either, I don't know how to do much of any of it!) I thought you looked *amazing*! I plan to apply it how I think it will work best for me and could care less about dots and stripes- I don't wear enough makeup to even understand most of that. :) Regarding the eyes, I have purchased SO many damn palettes and ended up only being able to wear maybe 1/4 of the shades, I would MUCH rather pay for a few I will use over and over.
I love Seint Cream makeup. It sits well on my skin. It doesn't separate. I also love their tutorials. I do get overwhelmed with so many choices. I too apply with my finger.
Looks beautiful! I think women who are overwhelmed by 12 pan eyeshadow palettes (like me) are thrilled to make a custom palette of maybe 6 shades. Travel friendly. I personally have never owned a 12 pan palette that I used more than a few shades. I like the cream for my very mature skin, and less is more. The Bella bronzer is versatile as a quick eyeshadow. I enjoyed your video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all on your channel! 🦃
I agree with your professional opinion. I don’t get saying women a certain age can’t wear certain things. I do own some of their eyeshadows and lip & blush creams and I really like them. I’ll stick with my tried and true facial routine, products and continue to use my go to moisturizer and foundation! As well as my bronzers, concealers and setting powder or spray. I love Charlotte Tilbury but for casual wear, l think it’s a little pricey, even though it is worth it. I understand everyone can’t afford all of her products for everyday casual wear! Always love things spoken in truth. I’m a health care professional licensed and experienced beyond belief! I love your honesty!!
Loved this! You are gorgeous and these are my fave colors! May have sold me. Am so overwhelmed with all the makeup lines out there and internet shopping.😢 Your skin is gorgeous. I hope you do skincare videos. Your eyebrows to die for! Subscribing! Thank you for a great tutorial!
Oh, talk about “fake experts”, what do you think it’s like for us Licensed Psychotherapists when the personal growth gurus give people mental health tips? 😤 Love your passion and honesty!! (You sound more southern when you are irritable and I’m lovin it).
Same with Licensed Estheticians, and those that sell R & F, or something similar. You don't know squat about the skin, only what you're taught by the company you represent! Ugh! 🤦🏼♀️
You may not like it, but you look fabulous in it! I don’t sell it, but I love it. I’ve never had so many compliments on my skin. People think I’m wearing nothing and I have on a full face.
I HATED this makeup I could never get it to set, the rep told me to change my skincare, to change my primer to change my setting powder & to change my setting spray I shouldn’t have to change all that for it to work.
I 100% agree. If you have to change everything else that has worked for you in the past to make the product work, seems the product is what isn't working, not anything else.
They say they don’t work well w silicones (most skincare has dimethecone at least) but I’ve found if you wait 20-30 min after applying it works fine w whatever skin care you’re using. I have really dry skin though so that may be a reason it does well.
I have flatly resisted getting into Seint products. I truly did not like the Maskara products, and I don’t go for any MLM companies. I am quite interested in you take on this brand.
You are the ‘bomb’! I enjoyed your true sense of this line and agree with your honesty. There’s good and ‘not-so-good’ in everything and I like your style. Stay true to yourself … ‘you GO GIRL!’ Aloha 🌺🤙🏽💕
Hey Mandy. You are on FIRE today! You go girl! What a great video. I didn't know you used to work as a MUA. It makes sense now why your videos are so chalk full of great information, and why I've gravitated to your videos. BTW ... I also love your accent. You kind of sound like my cousins who live in Corpus Christi Texas. I could listen to you all day long. Thank you Mandy. Love you, Calvin.
@@ginnyburley9552 That's cool. I've reserved an Aptera, a 1,000-mile range electric car that's covered in solar panels. I plan on touring all over the US when I get it in a couple years. I wonder if Mandy would be willing to do my makeup if I went to her city. That would just be crazy (fun crazy I mean). Cheers, Calvin.
Her channel is Mandy Davis *MUA* 😂😂 Yes, she’s a professional MUA. She has some videos of her applying makeup to other people, and she does an amazing job. I would love to have her do my makeup some day!
Thanks for the review. I'm so happy and respectful of you that you addressed the "make up artist" thing. LOL. I have Seint products because I went down the Instagrem rabbit hole a couple of years ago. I watched various tutorials from the many "make up artists" and noticed right off that none of them blended the contour correctly. The products are ok. Nothing HG and nothing horrific. Some of the creams dired out so I was a bit "Huh"? with that. I'm also glad you addressed the "Over 40" thing. I'm 67 and I'll use liquid, powders, anything that works. Thank you!!!
LOL Mandy it was pretty clear from the very beginning you are NOT a fan of this brand at all. I personally use the SEINT products, but primarily the bronzers, and the DEMI ones, I am not a fan anymore of the full face of makeup(even the “full face look of SEINT) at 47 I just feel traditional makeups make me look older, plus I have worked so hard on my skin, and I love showing my skin. I use the DEMI with a tinted moisturizer from France. I get more compliments on my skin now more than ever. I understand some do not like it, and it’s not for everyone that’s for sure, as many other brands of makeup lines aren’t for everyone. I am NOT a SEINT person by the way LOL, just a consumer trying to look her best. Thank you for your review and honesty as always!!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving xoxo
I think it's great that it works out for you. I and do mention many times that I enjoy the foundation and the highlight. I even really enjoy the shadows, as I mentioned, I just don't think the price is necessarily justifiable. All videos are just my opinion, and everyone has different needs when it comes to makeup. I am super happy that you got the demi to work for you....it's just not for me. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
I love Seint also...I was happily using Jane Iredale for decades, and then at 65 I didn't care for powder makeup on me anymore, and then JI changed the formula of my beloved Glow Time, now I hate it. I bought SOO many foundations and I happened upon Seint through a RUclips on Mature Makeup. There was indeed a learning curve, but I soon grew to love it, and now I enjoy makeup again, having so much fun! I found I love the original "HAC", using contour, a brightening highlight in the center of my face, and cheek color. Maybe illuminator for fancy. :). I use the contour as crease eyeshadow, Demi under my eyes, and a dark Demi as eyeliner! What is missing in this review is how awesome it is to have ALL my makeup (except mascara) in ONE palette, with colors I choose for myself. That, and the idea of highlight and contour is what drew me to Seint.
I got sucker into this! Not going to lie, It was fun to play with the dots all over my face, but in the end I wasn’t to impressed. I only like the blushes, I want more colors actually, I hated the contour, the consistency it’s so dry, the foundation color is the worse, it smells bad. The brushes are over priced, I used my brush from Huda. I agree with you, I have better makeup, nothing compares to my teint idole stick foundation. Great video Mandy!!!
Oh my God, MLM's and their ridiculous, hilarious prices...!!!!I They always make me LMFAO because of the reasoning behind the prices. Although it's one sad, pathetic reason: the whole upline has to be compensated and than the whole other group of people. It's insane! You've done an amazing job. Maybe even saving some poor soul of being tricked to join and "being their own boss", "having the company of their own"... I cannot remember all of their hollow promises and culty rhetoric. Btw, you're a brilliant MUA. I'm currently binge watching your videos 👌
The Demi corrector is my absolute favorite on my very dark, crapey under eye area. It has improved my wrinkles. It’s only meant to correct and I use Catrice Brightener over it.
55 and I will give up my powder and liquid foundation, when it’s pried from my cold, dead fingers. 🤣🤣🤣 not even remotely interest in the brand. Thanks for the well informed video!
Very thorough! I don’t wear face makeup much at all. But I’ve seen people talk about it online and I was curious. I appreciate your non biased opinion, so thank you!
I had a whole online cart full of seint products to order....and then realized there is lanolin in the base products and demi color correctors. Unfortunately I'm severely allergic to lanolin so unless there's a dupe out there without it, I will be steering clear. Of course, my allergy also certainly saved me a ton of money from not ordering, lol
I worked for Bareminerals when they only had 5 shades lol and yep you guessed it they didn’t release a shade for me until years later lol but I am also over 40 and I had to hit subscribe BECAUSE I also do not like being told how to wear my makeup lol
Thank you so much. I jumped on the bandwagon and bought some products. I will use up the tins I have and will not re-buy. Everything you said is true, however, it does not stay on my skin like my other favourite liquid, powder and yes other cream products that have been out there for many years that work just fine.
I'm 70 and use liquid and powders. Granted I prep my skin differently for each. I do not have much luck with most creams. They end up cakey. I use what works for me, not what someone tells me I'm supposed to use. I'm not big in to "supposed to" LOL Not interested in this brand at all.
Two other ingredients besides the beeswax that would cuase it not to be vegan would be carmine (beetles) and lanolin (sheep's wool). If you have a wool allergy, I wonder if that would also be problematic. I really love the concept of the product, especially the portability and sustainability, but I wasn't so thrilled about the foundation itself. Like you, I love the Lancôme Teint Idôle Foundation stick: swipe, swipe, swipe, and even blend with my fingers and it's done! Thanks to you I have enjoyed the Jane Iredale. Love it, especially in the hot, humid, Texas weather.
Demi is not for everyone but respectfully, you are using it as a concealer. It is color correcting color, it is not meant for coverage. It simply cancels color, you ONLY put it where you have dark colors. You are using this like a traditional concealer. Trust me, it took half a dozen attempts for it to work for me and I’m a 25 yr pro mua. Just wanting to explain❤
Hi there. I tried it more than a half dozen times, and I am using it as a corrector. I have darkness everywhere I put it and used an actual concealer on top if you saw. I am aware how to use a corrector. I think it is AOK for something not to work for me that works for others. I can think of that being a case for many products. It just didn’t work for me, no matter how I used it. Glad you love it!
PLEASE do not leave a comment telling me I am applying this wrong. I have seen plenty of these "artists" apply it just like I did, so I will take those comments as being angry that I don't share your same opinion on these products, not constructive criticism on application. If $250 worth of makeup has to be applied one certain way to work, I don't want it anyways. Also, any sellers that hijack the comments trying to convince others that state they don't like it that they need to try again because it's the best thing since sliced bread, you will be blocked. We are ALL allowed our opinions, and what works for you may not work for others and vice versa. After all....it's JUST MAKEUP! Have a great day!
You are applying this wrong!!!! Lol just kidding 😁, I’ve never used this stuff nor had any interest, you looked very lovely in the products, as you do in your other makeup as well. I’m personally not an Mlm fan myself as I see a lot of these companies exploiting hard working women making promises of freedom and lifestyle, they don’t deliver to most, but that’s just my personal opinion each to their own 😊. Thank you for the video it was nice to receive an unbiased opinion.
You tell 'em girl
That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! You def shouldn’t have to learn a new way of applying makeup to make something work! No thanks. You also shouldn’t need special brushes, applicators etc.
The backlash is because many MLM reps are subject to indoctrination and many experts consider them a commercial cult. It’s hard to have a rational conversation with someone who is subject to undo influence and their whole life is consumed by their “business”.
I tried it at 52 and spent a lot of money and it made me look older than my cream and powder foundations. Thank you for the honest review. I also applied many different ways and none of them worked. I did like one of the correctors for redness
It’s great to finally have an HONEST review of Saint by someone who isn’t trying to sell it to me at the end !!! Thank you !
I just wanted to add something that I didn’t say when I just created this post: she looks quite beautiful with the makeup on!
You are so welcome!
I have been on the fence about buying this and this review was very helpful!!
As someone who HAS bitten the MLM apple, AND disliked it, I have to say it’s a NO WIN for those people selling it, IMHO.
In order to recuperate the money spent on inventory I felt like I had to sell it hard and I didn’t like doing that. I also decided I didn’t want to spend my free time pursuing a business. That is so competitive, it’s almost like trying to sell jewelry on Etsy , you’re a very small fish and a very big ocean for this reason I think most MLM suck and I don’t want to support them. It’s also much harder for independent sellers with MLM companies because there’s so many other places people can buy make up.
As soon as I learned Seint is an MLM, all credibility for the company was shot.
Same what a disappointment
They are no longer an MLM as of October 2024
It no longer is from what i understand. But what makes you concerned about MLM. It helps many earn money for their family
@@Lifeworthliving425no they don’t. The only people who make money from MLMs are the people at the top. The rank and file sellers generally lose money.
As a licensed makeup artist, I agree with pretty much everything you say and I applaud your bravery for posting factual information in the face of the MLM mob. How do these people say it's cruelty free if it contains carmine? To get carmine you have to boil beetles. Do they just boil them gently?
“Boil them gently” 😂😂😂 that cracked me up 😂
@@sophiemendez98 yah funny not funny🤪
Also, Lanolin is derived from sheep’s wool, is it not?
Boiled beatle makeup????🤮
@@77andsunny It's common in food, too, so I'm not bothered by the "ick" factor. We've all been eating it for decades. Can't imagine it's vegan, though. Haha.
Welcome to the world of "everyone is a professional in everything" I have a Bachelors in clinical nutrition. There are hundreds of MLM's that are nutrition based, and the promoters dare call themselves "nutritionists"
Yes! It is EXTREMELY frustrating, as I feel like it devalues all the work that the actual professionals put into it. ❤️
I have a master's degree from Vanderbilt as a nurse midwife, and I'm sick of "doulas" on tik tok thinking they are "birth experts" and giving medical advice 😑🙄
For some reason many people are more willing to listen to a social media voice with no academic credentials than someone who is trained and educated formally. I do NOT get it.
Yes! They’re all experts it’s a wild world if you look into it.
Also i find it extremely disrespectful to the people who’ve actually put in the work, time, effort, gotten the education &/or certification.
It’s flippin dangerous as well, pseudoscience and false claims run wild in the so many of these mlms. 😤
Totally agree…I’m not a supporter of MLM
Your skin is literally perfect. You don't need ANY foundation IMO. Just through some eyes and lips on and call it a day!!!
Thanks Camille!
I totally agree! It’s fun to play w/ make up so I understand why we all use it but I feel like almost anything would look good on her skin❤
@@MandyDavisMUA yes! Seriously! I need to know what skin care routine you do! 😍
Finally an actual makeup artist reviewing this company. As a makeup artist I get asked about them all the time but could never find non sales “makeup artists”
Thanks Kelsey!
You really are the definition of a true professional versus somebody who just calls themself one - you can see it through your video and the way you talk even just the way you explain everything and how you knew that inbred was the issue with a product that made people breakout! Great video new sub here
Thank you so much!
I have been using Seint for over a year. I love it!! It does take a minute to get the hang of it. I set it with Charlotte Tilbury setting spray. I do use powder after the setting spray.
Glad you love it Lillian!
Haven’t watched your video yet but already so excited to hear your thoughts! These products are EVERYWHERE and I am glad to finally hear thoughts from a makeup artist I respect ❤
Thank you Katie!! ❤️
@@MandyDavisMUA great video!! And so glad I haven’t given in and bought it, your thoughts are kind of what I anticipated might be the case. thank you for sharing!
Now I know, since I've never heard of or seen this make up brand before. I guess it soon comes here, to Norway as well. I'll stay away. But we do have e.l.f all over, i never realised it's made in China, but wondered why its so extremely cheap.
I love this review! It’s nice to hear from a make up artist who is not trying to see the products! Your skin is beautiful.
Thank you Melissa!
I do not sell Seint, I have used it for 2.5 years and solely love it for the compactness! It gives me a pretty glow and takes me less than 10 minutes if I’m in a rush. However, I have many friends who do not enjoy it and it makes their face feel oily/slimey… to each their own, I enjoyed listening to your review. :) Also, you are beautiful!
Thank you so much Danielle!
I also do not sell it & I have used it (not exclusively) since the first version launched. ( buy direct online -no ‘artist’ )I liked it because creams work better for me, and because it was the only place I could find a contour color that worked for me (that has since changed.) I do still use Bobbi Brown under eye corrector & I don’t like the blushes. I also like to have a few face shades to get my perfect shade-it is easier to do that with creams than powders. I have never tried the eye shadows - they seem expensive.
I have used Seint for 5 years (dont sell it) and love it! My artist is a cosmetologist and she takes it seriously... always matches me perfectly. One tip is to put 2 pans of your main color and bronzer side by side for bigger brushes. Works for me! I'm 45 now and still loving it! Beautiiful makeup in this video. ❤
Preach! This is the review I needed! I feel like I’m struggling with it and everyone else out there on SM seems to think it’s amazing. I was just in another video venting about my issues with these products and you pretty well covered all my thoughts. I do NOT like the marketing of being told I’m too old to use certain products (I’m 42 also), nor the scare tactics I see some use to say the ingredients in other brands are “toxic.” And the kicker, if I’m having an issue with a product, it’s not the product but user error. 🤨 I told my rep that I shouldn’t have to be a Seint “artist” to be able to make it (particularly Demi) work. I have been experimenting with Demi for months with all different peachy undereye shades and I just cannot get the coverage level of my other concealers. I literally have bruises under my eyes so I need the confidence of feeling like I have the best coverage possible. I don’t get that with Demi. I heard a Seint artist say, “well you might have to sacrifice coverage if you don’t want to look older.” I dunno, when I used Demi or IIID, I think it looked pretty bad either way. Okay, I’ll stop. I could literally go on forever about this. 😂
LOL...love it! I am glad I am not alone in my thoughts.
I found a video on how to use the demi colors correctly
Check out youtube. Its a technique. You don’t slap in on all under eyes.
@@heatherphillips8763 I’ve watched dozens. I know you don’t just apply it like regular concealer. Still, the color correction isn’t good enough for me. I am literally trying to cover bruise level darkness under the eyes.
@@heatherphillips8763 Exactly! You don’t apply Demi under your eyes like she (Mandy) did! It’s not a concealer! It’s a color corrector!
@@AnitasLoveifyBut even applying it with a super light strokes it simply doesn't neutralize or camouflage my dark purple circles. So I tried adding light layers to get more coverage and wound up looking like a 99 y/o woman. If a $6 drug store corrector applies and blends easier and covers better than a $20 corrector there's a problem with the product not working for everyone especially those of us with very dry mature undereyes. No makeup can work on everyone. I shouldn't have to bend over backwards to get something to work or look good. I tried and tried until conveniently the window of opportunity to return them had passed. I'd be happy to send them to you for half what I paid since they work for you.
I felt your pain on them being called makeup artists!!! That’s how I feel about the MLM ppl and influencers selling hair care drives me insane after I went to school for a year these ppl are out here telling ppl how to take care of their hair 😂
Yes! It's so frustrating!
I LOVE your complexion! Not too shiny. Looks flawless. Thank you for taking your time to help us. I enjoyed this video.
Thank you so much!
At last! I’d noticed lots of the Seint “makeup artists” popping up in my insta. So, I decided to look into Seint on the internet and did a RUclips search and found you. I have to say, you can tell you’re a proper makeup artist as you have made the makeup look lovely. My biggest gripe is the fact that they call themselves makeup artists when they are clearly not. Thank you for this honest review. ❤
they charge an astronomical amount for being such mediocre makeup.. the reason for the pricing is because they’re an MLM and have to account for the people that have to pay for selling their products for them. 🤦🏼♀️
Would love to see you do this with more brands - Shine Cosmetics, Laura Geller, Mary Kay, It Cosmetics, etc…
I have used Laura Gueller since 2007 and I like her pressed powder makeup
Laura Geller is not an MLM.
I’m so grateful for an honest review. I also have $200+ worth of Seint that feels like it slides off my face before I start my day. I’ve applied many different ways. It’s just not making me look better.
Oh I am so sorry!! Definitely a lot of $$ for it not to work out.
I will never give my money to any thing that follows the MLM business model.
Understandable and respectable.
I can't believe that's all you got for over $200! Thanks for this video. I see their videos all over instagram and have wondered about the product.
You are so welcome!
If you went to ultra or Clinique and bought foundation, blush, contour, eye shadow , bronzer it would be the same. Makeup adds up no matter what
I just have not even been tempted to buy this brand. It’s always been a no thank you for me. Thank you for taking one for the team!!!
You are so welcome!
Same here. Seems so complex and unappealing.
I feel like it looks so dewy and pretty though on you! Which is how I think it looks on my two girlfriends who sell it! Its a win for me! Theyre makeup looks dewy and natural and not caked on! Im going to give it a go! ❤
I think anything would look beautiful on you, BUT I love your finished look here with the subtle from within glow. Simple enough for everyday wear, but still just stunning!❤️
So I totally caved and bought this makeup. Bought with my own money, I am not affiliated with seint in anyway shape or form, however after seeing this all over the place for so long I just had to give it a go. I purchased the No. 8 palette collection, in level 3 which comes with (according to the site) 3 highlights, 1 contour, 1 bronzer, 2 lips + blush, 1 illuminator and their standard double sided brush. It ended up being about $175 I think. This palette literally arrived today and I tried it immediately once I got home from work, and honestly I have zero real complaints. It blends beautifully, it’s full coverage but doesn’t feel like a mask, doesn’t transfer and has a gorgeous shiny dewy finish to it (without feeling wet) that I just love. Definitely requires setting spray to seal the deal however all in all I’m very impressed. The lips are eh, but work brilliantly for blush instead. The only real downside I’ve found is that the brush it came with is kinda crappy in my opinion and absorbs a lot of product. I didn’t buy the brush separately it just came with the palette so I’m not complaining. I’ve never been really good at makeup so ig it could be that maybe I’m just not too picky at all, but I think it looks great and am definitely planning to pursue making this my daily full face. HOWEVER, I do have naturally really dry skin and this is a really dewy makeup when first applied so I could totally see how if you have more oily skin that this makeup may not work as well.
Of course I say all of this from FIRST IMPRESSION! Tomorrow I’ll be really putting this potentially new full face to the test when I wear it to work (I have a 10 hour shift tomorrow so this will be a good opportunity to test its longevity) and if anything ends up changing my mind I’ll comment a follow up underneath this post.
So glad you are loving it!
Do you still like the product? Update please?
I purchased this when it was named Maskara and felt like I was ripped off. My pores look shiny and I have to use so much to get it to spread or “warm up” on my face. You have incredible skin. I could barely tell the difference between your skin and the foundation. Great review!
One of the things I love most about you is your honesty. I always know I can depend on you❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Susan!
Wow! Just came across you Mandy. First of all, you are STUNNING!!!! Loved your video and what you said about each one! I took notes so I can do make up like you! 😁😁 Very nicely done!
Awww, thank you so much!
I wasted a ton of money on Seint myself. And the consultant was rude to me when I kept telling her that the Demi correctors that I bought specifically for my undereyes not only werent correcting or neutralizing my dark purple circles, it is dry wax so it sucked any moisture out of my already dry undereyes and made my wrinkles look like the crypt keeper. She said then youre using the wrong eye cream and applying too much. She recommended a $90 eye cream and said this makeup doesnt work well with products that contain silicones. When I pointed out to her that the eye cream she recommended had dimithecone in it she then had a ridiculous excuse. I sent pics of how bad my undereyes looked with Demi and she kept saying I mustve applied it wrong so I asked if we could do a video/FaceTime session to figure out what she thought I was doing wrong and she refused. She made me believe there was something wrong with me and that nobody else has struggled with Demi looking awful under their eyes and then tried to tell me I bought the wrong colors and need x color now and thats why the colors werent camoflauging or concealing my undereyes. Yet I bought the demi shades she told me to get! And she conveniently disappeared when I told her I wanted to return them. She kept making me practice more and by the time she stopped responding it was past the return period. I was able to use the cream products but not with the demi brushes she had me buy. They are too soft to pick up any cream or blend. I told her even drugstore corrector and concealer covers my dark circles better and looks less aging than this stuff. Anyone else with dry aging mature skin and dark purple wrinkled undereyes have the same problem? Using less product didnt cover anything. It doesnt work on textured undereyes.
Oh man...these kind of stories are definitely reasons to be put off by the whole thing. So sorry that happened!
@@MandyDavisMUAThank you. Watching your video and seeing that the Demi didn't meet your needs made me feel better and realize it wasn't just me that it didn't work for.
Hahaha! Your end result is 100 percent better than any tutorial I have ever seen. You make it look amazing. I personally hated it.
LOL...thank you!
I tried Seint makeup because I am a minimal makeup kind of girl. I am super oily but I was assured that it would work on my skin. My pores were so pronounced with this on and it seemed to slide off of my oily skin even though I set it with powder. I never tried the eyeshadow, but that would be the only thing I would try going forward.
Yeah, I can't imagine this would be great for super oily skin at all. So sorry it didn't work out for you!
When I changed brushes, it changed for me. Pores are no longer visible and coverage is great. Less product. Also, change colors, you may need a shade darker.
@La Bella Vanity so the makeup sliding off her skin is a color issue? lol
@@cors2526 😂
Same here. Oily skin also and despite using powder and setting spray the “foundation “ rubbed right off my face with ease.
I found it is a great product I’m 56 years old and since I’ve been using Saint every time I pick up my other foundation from drugstore to high end nothing compares
Glad it works for you Stacey!
Thanks for doing this video, Mandy! Just as you said, I can’t scroll Instagram without being hit with a seint salesperson. Your premise for this video was perfect - a review of the makeup itself. I’ve been curious to know what a true makeup artist thinks, even though I don’t plan to buy. Not interested in buying from an MLM and getting hit up with all that nonsense. But also, I find it very off-putting that so many of these “artists” come across as, “those of us who use this makeup are smarter than all you losers who are missing out”. Eeh, it’s a hard pass for me.
Thank you so much Pam! Couldn't agree more. xoxo
Seint drives me nuts because of their marketing tactics. If you strip away the aggressive mlm techniques what you are left with is just a run of the mill makeup company that is just meh. Not ground breaking. Not horrific. If it was on a store shelf would it really be such a huge deal? Most likely , no.
100%
I know it killed you when they said not to powder! 😂 I’ll pass on this. I don’t trust MLM companies.
LOL...yes!
I don’t either I always question “why isn’t it in stores if it’s that great, why didn’t it make it to shelves” especially during a day n age where MLMs are so frowned upon I have such a hard time believing that anyone would choose to make their company an mlm unless that was their only choice 😬
Right there with you, I do not think I have ever seem an MLM worth it.
I use Mally's balm stuff instead of powder.
@@texasburbs4380 I know of one that pulled out of Nordstroms stores and is doing fantastic things! Its about relationships and trust!
Man, that color is beautiful on you!!! I like the soft glow it has.
I appreciate your honesty. There are so many ladies on TikTok that seem to push this product.
OMG YOU SAVED ME! Thank you for this video. I breakout so bad from Bismuth Oxychloride and at 52 I am not going through that again. Takes three years to heal from that!
Oh man! I am so sorry to hear that, but I am glad you found out before you used it.
I don’t even wear makeup but somehow ended up here and I’m glad because I am FASCINATED by your review! This is great…I LOVE me an honest review of anything! Thank you very much.
Aww, thank you so much! xoxo
I have used Seint and I like it pretty well, I am more dry skinned, at first my skin felt greasy. They say you adjust to it and that actually happened. I don’t breakout with it at all. And it does match my skin color well..
You are so right about the fact there is so much makeup on the market you can find one that works for you. I certainly don’t have everything from one line that I love but I must,say I do,love my ND pallets! Yes I put the one you were talking about in my Sephora order and I do love it! Thanks 😊
Yay! It's such a great product!
love your video your straight talk no nonsense information. i am 66 years young and like my tinted moisturizer but have an issue with finding the right concealer or even corrector. Tried the demi and does not cancel or even diminish my dark circles. And for me less is better. thank you for the information you provide.
You are so welcome, and I am so sorry the demi didn't work out for you!
I'm so glad you made this video...I use Seint makeup except for the eyeshadow and I have to say I love it, and to be honest the pos contact I went through was not and has not been the slightest bit pushy what so ever, thank goodness.
That's awesome!
The biggest bone of contention I have with Seint makeup is that it’s made in China. It used to be made here but production was cheaper in China so they moved their production there as of 2021. Two other brands I will not support/purchase from because they’re both made in China are e.l.f. and Danessa Myrick. It’s strictly a humanitarian issue for me and it should be for others as well. To say you support “cruelty free” products knowing how the Chinese Communist Party brutalizes their own people in ways that we went to war over in WWII is basically being a hypocrite. Do what’s right ladies… karma’s a bitch. End of rant.
All the products made in China or just some? I heard some but couldn't find out which ones, although I assumed the eyeshadows.
I agree with you 💯 and I also do not support Danessa Myrick makeup because it’s made in China. I look at labels and try to avoid made in China when possible. I like to support as many companies that make products in the USA even if I pay more for them.
@@OceanluvOC thanks, sometimes I feel like an oddball and wonder, doesn’t this bother anyone else but me, so I appreciate your comment. I won’t shop at Walmart or Target because over 70% of their products come from China even the brand Better Homes and Gardens. Hopefully more people will start reading labels again like they used 20 and 30 years ago. With online purchasing Amazon at least has the “country of origin” listed in the product details category.
Edit: I take back my last statement in that now the country of origin shows “imported.” Way to go Amazon.
@@christinescott5002 does that matter? To me, any company that moves their production from the USA to China after they become popular since production costs are lower which means they can make higher profits is a company I won’t do business with. But that’s just me.
@@susanbowman3865 I am merely asking for clarification. Some people care, some don’t. Some care about possible quality control and US job creation issues, some care about the human rights issues. Many higher end companies also produce their products in China- IT Cosmetics, Urban Decay, ABH, Eve Pearl, Tarte, etc. It has unfortunately become more cost effective to produce some products like eyeshadows over there. Sometimes consumers pick and choose from a variety of products made outside China.
I really like Seint makeup and the skin care line is great too. (no I don't sell it either LOL) I do have to blot and reapply the powder mid day but otherwise I love it.
While you’re saying “this just doesn’t do anything for me”, I’m over here thinking my lawd, that looks incredibly beautiful and flawless on you!
I do agree with your “pet peeves”…..although, I have to also admit that in my experience and IMHO, creams always look sooooo much better and more beautiful on the more mature women (my oily self included) ❤️
Very fair to feel that way for sure. Powders have come a long way in formulations and certain ones are some of my faves to use on mature clients, but same could be said for certain creams as well.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over how flawless your skin is!! I have so much hyperpigmentation and rosacea 😩 a girl can dream
Thank you!
Luckily, at age 74, I have really smooth (zero textured) skin with no sun spots and almost no wrinkles, so the Demi works really well for me under my eyes, on the sides of my nose (for a bit of slight redness) and for a few tiny (almost negligible) sun spots.
Using one color under eye concealer is just too much makeup for me personally.
I do not need an all over concealer, the reason I prefer the Demi color correctors.
I can see how the Demi color correctors would not be enough coverage for a lot of women, but it works perfectly for me. I do not sell the Demi - I simply use it.
I inherited my mother’s Black Irish olive complexion, so I am fortunate and have never required foundation.
So glad the Demi works for you...it is just not for me I found. But I know a lot of people love it!
I’ve only been using Seint for about 6 months but love it so far! I’ve only used 2 eyeshadows and not a fan as the ones I have don’t seem to be finely milled, but I was drawn to Seint in the first place because I wanted all of my makeup in one compact that looks nice 😊 I’ve tried a lot of concealers but I find the highlighter I use doesn’t crease at all and doesn’t fade by the end of the day.
Glad you love it!
I love Demi from Seint and it does take time to do the opposite of what & how to use Demi but I’m loving Demi ❤️💚💙😻
I also love Seint make up!
i love the brand. reordering my second palette of tins today!
As someone who is blessed in being able to apply makeup as most , it works for me. as a teacher , it’s conducive to my lifestyle and application knowledge . she has definite points to the brush , however the idea of seint is relatively solid.
Thank you so much for making this video! I see this brand everywhere and they make it seem like it's the best thing ever. Yet when I read people's reviews most say they have a difficult time using it. I tend to stay away from mlm's so thank you so reassuring me😁
You are so welcome Christina!
i totally agree with your comment about the age thing. Not everybody gets dry when they age. I am over 50 and am just as oily now as I was when I was a teenager- still get hormonal acne break outs too. I prefer anything light liquid and I adore powder foundations!
Yes! The older I get, the more I actually love powder foundation.
May I ask what light foundations powders work for you? I too am 50 & can't seem to find a perfect solution for my oily, acne prone & mature skin. Also large pores
I purchased Seint over the summer and I really like their products. I was so frustrated with liquid foundations giving me poke a dots on my noise! I have had good luck with the demi as most concealers crease on me. I do have the same issue with both the blush and bronzer that I add my Hourglass bronzer on top as well. I do like the packaging as well and wish more companies would stop using so much plastic that gets thrown away!
So glad it works for you Yvonne!
Your skin is absolutely gorgeous ❤. Thanks for saving me from purchasing this! I feel guilty using a powder foundation at 47, but now I don’t care!
Thank you! Don't feel guilty at all! I LOVE powder foundation.
what a beautiful glowy finish! love it!
You are beautiful but I can't get over how GORGEOUS you look (especially your eyes) at the end of the video.. and this actually makes me want to buy Seint! 😉
Thanks!
The shame about all of this is that you could throw a pantry full of food ingredients on your face and still look flawless and gorgeous 😂😂 but I’m so glad you did this and saved your American friends the money 💚
You are so funny...thank you!
Seint is an American brand
I HATE MLMs!!! They will always be predatory and I rebuke all of them.
That’s definitely your right. I am not a part of this MLM. I am simply reviewing the products as I have been asked by many to do. 😉
MLM’s are disgusting and predatory !! You got the right idea Jackson ❤
You're skin is flawless, I was thinking about buying this makeup but I changed my mind after watching you 😊 thank you for sharing this video...
Thank you!
Girl, I don’t care what kind of artist you are. You have to keep wearing saint to get used to it and yes, his brushes do make a difference. I have gone back to all kinds of make up after wearing for a year. I always go back to Saint.
Thanks for this, Mandy! My Insta feed is constantly bombarded by Seint products - to the point of annoyance.
Oh I agree! I wish I could choose somewhere on IG not to see the videos ALL over the place.
Hey Denise. I just went to Seint's website. I noticed that they have a "login" tab. Perhaps you could create an account, login, and then modify the notification settings for your account. You might actually be able to turn off their adverts in your Instagram feed. I haven't tried this, I'm just thinking of a possible option for you. Good luck. Peace, Calvin.
Yes!! Its like EVERY makeup post is dang seint. I tried to report each one to Instagram as something I dont want to see, but they still keep coming!
I’m 46 years old . I’m definitely in that category for sure. I was almost convinced that I was doing something wrong using my liquid and powders … how ever I’m extremely oily 😅 and this just won’t work at all and need extra coverage cause I have hyperpigmentation 😢. thank you for your expertise!❤
Not doing anything at all wrong....keep doing what you love!
Finally someone that doesn't sell it giving your honest opinion. It is always so interesting to me to watch the "artists" apply it but I never know if it lasts throughout the day, etc... I do think it looked very pretty on your skin. Stay blessed!!!
Thank you so much!
There are other MUA that are pros that like it. I don’t think they’re being dishonest for liking it and having it be fit for them.
@@neece2818 I didn't say I didn't like it. In fact, I said I thought it looked pretty. I am intrigued and before I spend $200 I'd really like to see "outside" opinions. Make sense?
Thank you so much Mandy, you just saved me a fortune! I could have stopped after the foundation ingredient list but enjoy you so I finished the video. You really are still the best!
Thank you so much Carol!
I love that everyone has a different perspective, and from someone who prefers a natural look, and isn't a make up artist, I ordered it and really even more excited now after seeing your review. (I don't contour either, I don't know how to do much of any of it!) I thought you looked *amazing*! I plan to apply it how I think it will work best for me and could care less about dots and stripes- I don't wear enough makeup to even understand most of that. :) Regarding the eyes, I have purchased SO many damn palettes and ended up only being able to wear maybe 1/4 of the shades, I would MUCH rather pay for a few I will use over and over.
I love Seint Cream makeup. It sits well on my skin. It doesn't separate. I also love their tutorials.
I do get overwhelmed with so many choices.
I too apply with my finger.
Glad it works for you!
Looks beautiful! I think women who are overwhelmed by 12 pan eyeshadow palettes (like me) are thrilled to make a custom palette of maybe 6 shades. Travel friendly. I personally have never owned a 12 pan palette that I used more than a few shades. I like the cream for my very mature skin, and less is more. The Bella bronzer is versatile as a quick eyeshadow. I enjoyed your video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all on your channel! 🦃
Glad you love it!! And I agree with the ease of picking your shades. I just mean there are great single shadows out there for way less than $14/pan.
I agree with your professional opinion. I don’t get saying women a certain age can’t wear certain things. I do own some of their eyeshadows and lip & blush creams and I really like them. I’ll stick with my tried and true facial routine, products and continue to use my go to moisturizer and foundation! As well as my bronzers, concealers and setting powder or spray. I love Charlotte Tilbury but for casual wear, l think it’s a little pricey, even though it is worth it. I understand everyone can’t afford all of her products for everyday casual wear! Always love things spoken in truth. I’m a health care professional licensed and experienced beyond belief! I love your honesty!!
@@jackiesasfai4162 Thank you so much Jackie! ❤️
Btw, like Seinf or not, you look friggin’ STUNNING. Everything looks incredibly beautiful and seamless on you. And YASSSSS on that Illuminator.
You are so sweet...thank you!
Loved this! You are gorgeous and these are my fave colors! May have sold me. Am so overwhelmed with all the makeup lines out there and internet shopping.😢
Your skin is gorgeous. I hope you do skincare videos. Your eyebrows to die for! Subscribing! Thank you for a great tutorial!
Thank you so much! I do have lots of skincare videos...hope you are able to check them out. ❤️
LOVEEEEE your vibe! My kind of woman. Thanks for the great and honest review.
Thank you so much!
Oh, talk about “fake experts”, what do you think it’s like for us Licensed Psychotherapists when the personal growth gurus give people mental health tips? 😤 Love your passion and honesty!! (You sound more southern when you are irritable and I’m lovin it).
I can only imagine!! Thank you!
Same with Licensed Estheticians, and those that sell R & F, or something similar. You don't know squat about the skin, only what you're taught by the company you represent! Ugh! 🤦🏼♀️
Same with social workers! People calling all case managers social workers…they are all indeed not social workers!
Ive been waiting for a non biased review of this stuff!
You may not like it, but you look fabulous in it! I don’t sell it, but I love it. I’ve never had so many compliments on my skin. People think I’m wearing nothing and I have on a full face.
So glad you love it!
I've never heard of this brand but I have to say you created an incredibly gorgeous look. 🤩
Aww, thank you Julie!
I HATED this makeup I could never get it to set, the rep told me to change my skincare, to change my primer to change my setting powder & to change my setting spray I shouldn’t have to change all that for it to work.
I 100% agree. If you have to change everything else that has worked for you in the past to make the product work, seems the product is what isn't working, not anything else.
They say they don’t work well w silicones (most skincare has dimethecone at least) but I’ve found if you wait 20-30 min after applying it works fine w whatever skin care you’re using. I have really dry skin though so that may be a reason it does well.
The illuminator is so pretty. I appreciate you letting us know what you think about these products, very helpful. Thank you.
I have flatly resisted getting into Seint products. I truly did not like the Maskara products, and I don’t go for any MLM companies. I am quite interested in you take on this brand.
Thanks Ginny!
You are the ‘bomb’! I enjoyed your true sense of this line and agree with your honesty. There’s good and ‘not-so-good’ in everything and I like your style. Stay true to yourself … ‘you GO GIRL!’ Aloha 🌺🤙🏽💕
Thank you so much...I really appreciate it!
I think your finished look is gorgeous!
I think it turned out very pretty! But all in all…. It’s all personal preference! Thanks for sharing
Hey Mandy. You are on FIRE today! You go girl! What a great video. I didn't know you used to work as a MUA. It makes sense now why your videos are so chalk full of great information, and why I've gravitated to your videos. BTW ... I also love your accent. You kind of sound like my cousins who live in Corpus Christi Texas. I could listen to you all day long. Thank you Mandy. Love you, Calvin.
She still works as a MUA, I believe.
@@ginnyburley9552 That's cool. I've reserved an Aptera, a 1,000-mile range electric car that's covered in solar panels. I plan on touring all over the US when I get it in a couple years. I wonder if Mandy would be willing to do my makeup if I went to her city. That would just be crazy (fun crazy I mean). Cheers, Calvin.
Her channel is Mandy Davis *MUA* 😂😂 Yes, she’s a professional MUA. She has some videos of her applying makeup to other people, and she does an amazing job. I would love to have her do my makeup some day!
Thank you Calvin! Yes, I still work in the industry and love it!
Thanks for the review. I'm so happy and respectful of you that you addressed the "make up artist" thing. LOL. I have Seint products because I went down the Instagrem rabbit hole a couple of years ago. I watched various tutorials from the many "make up artists" and noticed right off that none of them blended the contour correctly. The products are ok. Nothing HG and nothing horrific. Some of the creams dired out so I was a bit "Huh"? with that. I'm also glad you addressed the "Over 40" thing. I'm 67 and I'll use liquid, powders, anything that works. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! And yes!! Use what is best for you and your skin, not matter what ANYONE says. ❤️
LOL Mandy it was pretty clear from the very beginning you are NOT a fan of this brand at all. I personally use the SEINT products, but primarily the bronzers, and the DEMI ones, I am not a fan anymore of the full face of makeup(even the “full face look of SEINT) at 47 I just feel traditional makeups make me look older, plus I have worked so hard on my skin, and I love showing my skin. I use the DEMI with a tinted moisturizer from France. I get more compliments on my skin now more than ever. I understand some do not like it, and it’s not for everyone that’s for sure, as many other brands of makeup lines aren’t for everyone. I am NOT a SEINT person by the way LOL, just a consumer trying to look her best. Thank you for your review and honesty as always!!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving xoxo
I think it's great that it works out for you. I and do mention many times that I enjoy the foundation and the highlight. I even really enjoy the shadows, as I mentioned, I just don't think the price is necessarily justifiable. All videos are just my opinion, and everyone has different needs when it comes to makeup. I am super happy that you got the demi to work for you....it's just not for me. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
I love Seint also...I was happily using Jane Iredale for decades, and then at 65 I didn't care for powder makeup on me anymore, and then JI changed the formula of my beloved Glow Time, now I hate it. I bought SOO many foundations and I happened upon Seint through a RUclips on Mature Makeup. There was indeed a learning curve, but I soon grew to love it, and now I enjoy makeup again, having so much fun! I found I love the original "HAC", using contour, a brightening highlight in the center of my face, and cheek color. Maybe illuminator for fancy. :). I use the contour as crease eyeshadow, Demi under my eyes, and a dark Demi as eyeliner! What is missing in this review is how awesome it is to have ALL my makeup (except mascara) in ONE palette, with colors I choose for myself. That, and the idea of highlight and contour is what drew me to Seint.
Your skin in stunning! I agree with you about the bronzer, it looked much better before the beauty blender step.
Thank you!
I got sucker into this! Not going to lie, It was fun to play with the dots all over my face, but in the end I wasn’t to impressed. I only like the blushes, I want more colors actually, I hated the contour, the consistency it’s so dry, the foundation color is the worse, it smells bad. The brushes are over priced, I used my brush from Huda. I agree with you, I have better makeup, nothing compares to my teint idole stick foundation. Great video Mandy!!!
Yes!! There is little that is as good as Lancome!
Oh my God, MLM's and their ridiculous, hilarious prices...!!!!I
They always make me LMFAO because of the reasoning behind the prices. Although it's one sad, pathetic reason: the whole upline has to be compensated and than the whole other group of people. It's insane!
You've done an amazing job. Maybe even saving some poor soul of being tricked to join and "being their own boss", "having the company of their own"...
I cannot remember all of their hollow promises and culty rhetoric.
Btw, you're a brilliant MUA. I'm currently binge watching your videos 👌
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Thank you for saying it's OK to use creams when your over 40!!!!
The Demi corrector is my absolute favorite on my very dark, crapey under eye area. It has improved my wrinkles. It’s only meant to correct and I use Catrice Brightener over it.
You make me want to buy this makeup. It looks so beautiful.
Thank you!
It’s all her. She’s just flawless 😊
Looks beautiful and flawless
55 and I will give up my powder and liquid foundation, when it’s pried from my cold, dead fingers. 🤣🤣🤣 not even remotely interest in the brand. Thanks for the well informed video!
LOL...Yes! I feel the same!
Your skin is literally flawless! Absolutely beautiful ❤❤ what skin prep products do you use? If any?
Thank you! I don't use a primer. Just skincare and spf. ❤️
@@MandyDavisMUA what skincare products before foundation do you use? My skin is normal/dry
You have the most beautiful complexion.
Thank you so much!
Very thorough! I don’t wear face makeup much at all. But I’ve seen people talk about it online and I was curious. I appreciate your non biased opinion, so thank you!
You are so welcome!
I had a whole online cart full of seint products to order....and then realized there is lanolin in the base products and demi color correctors. Unfortunately I'm severely allergic to lanolin so unless there's a dupe out there without it, I will be steering clear. Of course, my allergy also certainly saved me a ton of money from not ordering, lol
Yes, it definitely has some heavier ingredients in it for sure.
If you want to try cream makeup you can take a look at the ELF cream contour palette, I’m just not sure if it has lanolin 😅
Thanks for this review. I've spent a decent amount of time looking for honest reviews on this company. Nice job.
You are so welcome, and thank you!
I worked for Bareminerals when they only had 5 shades lol and yep you guessed it they didn’t release a shade for me until years later lol but I am also over 40 and I had to hit subscribe BECAUSE I also do not like being told how to wear my makeup lol
Aww, thank you!
Thank you so much. I jumped on the bandwagon and bought some products. I will use up the tins I have and will not re-buy. Everything you said is true, however, it does not stay on my skin like my other favourite liquid, powder and yes other cream products that have been out there for many years that work just fine.
Yes, for certain skin types, I can definitely see this being the case.
I'm 70 and use liquid and powders. Granted I prep my skin differently for each. I do not have much luck with most creams. They end up cakey. I use what works for me, not what someone tells me I'm supposed to use. I'm not big in to "supposed to" LOL Not interested in this brand at all.
Yes!! I am the same way...I will wear what I wear which makes it not "wrong".
@@MandyDavisMUA Exactly! There is no wrong IMO!
Two other ingredients besides the beeswax that would cuase it not to be vegan would be carmine (beetles) and lanolin (sheep's wool). If you have a wool allergy, I wonder if that would also be problematic. I really love the concept of the product, especially the portability and sustainability, but I wasn't so thrilled about the foundation itself. Like you, I love the Lancôme Teint Idôle Foundation stick: swipe, swipe, swipe, and even blend with my fingers and it's done! Thanks to you I have enjoyed the Jane Iredale. Love it, especially in the hot, humid, Texas weather.
Yes! Not much beats the Lancome. xoxo
I can make this same look with cream products that don’t support Multi Level Marketing.
Very true!
Demi is not for everyone but respectfully, you are using it as a concealer. It is color correcting color, it is not meant for coverage. It simply cancels color, you ONLY put it where you have dark colors. You are using this like a traditional concealer. Trust me, it took half a dozen attempts for it to work for me and I’m a 25 yr pro mua. Just wanting to explain❤
Hi there. I tried it more than a half dozen times, and I am using it as a corrector. I have darkness everywhere I put it and used an actual concealer on top if you saw. I am aware how to use a corrector. I think it is AOK for something not to work for me that works for others. I can think of that being a case for many products. It just didn’t work for me, no matter how I used it. Glad you love it!
This review from Mandy made me appreciate you even more.
