How To Create A Minimalist Makeup Routine
I bet you're here because you are like me- loves makeup but hates having a ton of random products all over the place and way too many pallettes and shades to choose from sooo basically it quickly makes doing your makeup way less fun and more like a chore. And trust me, makeup does not need to be a time consuming chore full of products you don't use or need. This is where a minimalist makeup routine comes in! I'm going to share with you all my secrets of how I have created a minimalist makeup routine that makes me feel beautiful and confident.
I am a natural minimalist with pretty much everything in my life so it makes sense for me to want that with my beauty routine as well which is why I use Seint Beauty products. They help eliminate product waste because of the metal tin design and the fact that YOU get to choose what you actually want and need in your makeup compact. If you want a more minimal makeup routine, you have to get more out of less products. I'll explain further what I mean!
So let's start with the most basic, the compact-also referred to as palette in this post. One of the main things minimalists look for in a product is if it's reusable and/or versatile. The Seint compacts are both! Instead of a pre-filled palette from Sephora or the like, these palettes come empty- ready for you to customize and re-fill as needed! Choose the size that's right for you and the design you like best and move onto step two!
Next you will add your “essentials” like your highlight (foundation), contour, and blush/lip! These are the products most want to keep in their daily makeup routine. What is nice about Seint Beauty is that all of those essential products come in the same time and are all cream meaning you can put them all in ONE COMPACT.
Of course all of these will be customized to your skin tone! (If you need a shade match, click here to take my free beauty routine quiz!) For me, it's White Peach as my main shade and Moonlit as a brightener. I also personally use Ash contour which I love for fair to fair-medium cool skin tones.
As far as the blush/lip, with Seint it really is a two in one product! Pick just 2 or 3 and be set for any look without the extra products. I suggest getting a natural/everyday pink shade, a bright/bold shade, and a classic red or nude shade. I do like to switch out my blush/lip with the seasons but that's optional. And do forget that since they are creams and in a tin, you can easily mix them for even more shades!
All of the above mentioned products will go in the top layer of your new compact. Yep, all of your face products in ONE compact! And in the bottom layer? Well this is where you will put your powder eyeshadows and powder illuminator. I know, your mind is being blown right now!
Besides the cream foundation, this is my next favorite thing about Seint. You can get eyeshadow shades by the SINGLE. Which means you can custom build your own perfect eyeshadow palette! No more wasting shades in a pre-built one. And no more buying a brand new palette just because your 2 favs have run out.
That being said, you can pick whichever ones you like however if you'd like suggestions, I'd love to help! Just click here to take my free beauty routine quiz.
And now that you have all the things you need in your custom makeup palette, it's time for any extras! You can add in a cream bronzer, cream eyeliner, setting powder, and even a lip conditioner! It really is that easy and minimal. I personally have all of my makeup in a IIID 18 Palette and I love using Seint's double ended brushes that are also versatile and keep things fast and minimal!

I have been using Seint Beauty makeup for 7 years (2 years as a non-artist) and can honestly say that I don't see myself ever using anything else. My everyday routine only takes about 10minutes and I only have to spend about $14 every few months just to replace my highlight (foundation) so I'm also saving so much money! Again, if you love the idea of a minimalist makeup routine then Seint Beauty is the solution!
