Seint Makeup Review (2024 Update): Is This Makeup Brand Really That Good?

By: Joel & Josiah

Seint is a cosmetic company owned by Cara Brook that operates within the Multi Level Marketing business model, promising a cruelty free makeup routine. They offer several product lines, including their cream makeup palette, and they offer you the opportunity to sell the products as a “Seint Artist”.

But is it any different than those other MLMs? And how much does this all cost, anyway?

Let’s dive in and find out.

Why Listen To Us?

My name is Josiah, and this is my Dad, Joel.

Together, we make up the team here at Scamrisk.

If you’ll let me bother you for two minutes, I’d like to quickly explain why I’m even here writing this review.

In early 2020, I had just graduated from college & had no real career prospects.

I knew I was destined for something more, but I had no clue how I was going to make it happen.

I had this sinking feeling in my gut all the time… like the “big man upstairs” had accidentally given me the version of life where I’d be mediocre forever, instead of the one where I was, ya know – happy & fulfilled.

Anyway…

I had fiddled around with some different online businesses in college:

Some random MLMs, a bit of affiliate marketing, a (failed) dropshipping store or two, all the usual suspects.

Even my dad had been involved in MLMs back in the day… selling knives & other random nonsense people (probably) didn’t need.

All I really wanted was to find something that was going to actually work for me.

Maybe those things had worked for others, but for me it all turned up a fat “0” in the bank account department.

So I searched! And searched… and searched… and searched…

And eventually, I somehow stumbled upon a program that promised to help me build an income online (read about it here if you’re curious).

I didn’t really want to be “rich”.

The thought of making a reliable $5K per month & not having to worry about clocking in to a 9-to-5 ever again was all I needed.

Sure, there were people in the program doing high-6 and low-7 figures per year… but that wasn’t what I was out for.

I just wanted to provide freedom for myself, and if I was lucky, take my family along for the ride.

Fast forward a few days and a few phone calls & I was enrolled!

Here’s the first “money making website” I put up:

I built that site in 2020, and it still makes me $1,500 per month. It’s a basic 5 page website I built based on a template the program provides.

The best part to me? My dad and I get to do it all together!

So between the:

  1. Ease of reaching $5-$10K per month in income online
  2. Straightforward-ness of the system to do it
  3. Fact that I get to do it w/ my family

Is why I recommend local lead generation as my #1 business model for making money online.

Sure, it takes some work and dedication – but anyone that tells you that there’s a business out there that requires no work is selling you a lemon.

I’m not saying you need to sign up for the same program I did, but I would definitely recommend giving the business model a peek!

Contents

Chances are you heard about Seint Makeup because someone – a friend or family member – introduced you to the company. Maybe you attended an online workshop or webinar, or maybe an in-person information session.

Your head’s probably spinning. This might be the first time you’ve heard about a real way to make money outside of a typical job.

So first off, congratulations!

You’ve just entered a whole new world…the world of making money on your own terms.

However, you came in through the wrong door.

Because Seint Makeup is – plain and simple – an MLM. Throw whatever fancy name you want on it…multi-level marketing (MLM), network marketing (NWM), direct sales, or anything else, it’s the same concept:

You pay some money upfront for the “opportunity” to sell products.

The products are typically low-quality but with high price tags (because fancy labels and stuff).

You’re told that the key to building your own successful business is selling these products to friends and family, and getting them on a subscription (so you get “monthly recurring revenue”).

Unfortunately, like most people who get taken in by these types of schemes, you’ll quickly discover that the well runs dry faster than you imagined.

After all, they make it sound really simple. “Just get 5 people you know onto this magic widget, and things will just grow from there.”

And in your head, you think “How hard can it be? I know plenty of people, 5 will be easy.”

But then you do it, and you realize people look at you like you’ve joined a cult. You’ve become “that person”, who joined an MLM, and is now trying to sell questionable products or services to everyone they meet.

It puts a strain on your relationships, and you end up stuck between two worlds.

But it’s not your fault. These companies spend millions of dollars each year figuring out exactly how to brainwash and recruit people. And that’s why we’re here.

To help you find a better way before it’s too late.

So, what if there was a way you could build a passive income stream that’s actually passive?

An income stream that doesn’t require:

  • Inventory
  • Selling to friends and family
  • Selling to strangers
  • Recruiting people
  • Dealing with questionable products that weigh on your conscience

An income stream that brings in consistent revenues every single month (from a couple thousand dollars to well over $10,000)?

An income stream you could actually build in your spare time, and grow as large or as small as you want to, without having to spend hours a day chasing, selling, or managing anything?

Still Getting Paid

This is nothing like MLM, and that’s probably a good thing.

However, if you’d still like to know more about Seint Makeup, keep reading.

What Is Seint?

seint makeup what is it

Seint is a cosmetics MLM company. Until 2020, this company was known as Maskcara beauty, but have since rebranded.

Like most MLMs, Seint products are only available through their website or official members. Their goods can’t be bought elsewhere.

Seint sells cosmetics, skincare products, and makeup tools. They make eyeshadows, contour makeup, highlighters, and other products primarily aimed at women.

They claim to have offerings that will help anyone wear makeup better – from those with mature skin tone (aging skin) to those with very sensitive skin.

They believe that a Seint beauty artist can work with oily skin with their beauty blender sponge, as well as through their Seint makeup tutorials.

And, of course, they want their distributors (“artists”) to recruit as many of their friends and family as possible to join the movement.

Who Is Cara Brook?

cara brook who is she

Cara Brook – a professional makeup artist – founded the company in 2013.

Brook is a fashion and makeup blogger, and says she founded the company to use makeup to enhance women’s natural beauty, not hide their flaws.

As per the Seint website, it appears that Cara decided from the young age of 11 years old that she wanted to set out and revolutionize the cosmetic industry.

She founded Maskcara (now Seint) in 2013, and morphed it into an MLM in 2017.

What’s With The Name Change?

seint makeup

As previously mentioned, Maskcara rebranded to Seint Beauty in 2020.

According to our research, the founder wanted to update its mission and showcase the artists who represent it.

A company’s mission or vision can change without changing its name, in our opinion. And it’s not cheap. It is costly and time-consuming.

One theory is that they wanted to change the name because Maskcara developed a bad reputation. MLM companies do better when they are new and build momentum.

According to Google Trends, the buzz around Maskcara is waning while Seint is rising.

Changing the name to “Seint” may be a bad idea because there is already a beauty salon called SeintBeauty.com, and a makeup line called Saint.

But then again, perhaps they will gain some spillover clientele from those trying to search up the others!

What’s Inside Seint?

seint makeup productsWhen it comes to their product quality, there are mixed Seint reviews. Some people say they like the foundation and how skin-like it looks.

However, as we did more research, we discovered that many of the products were returned by customers.

We read a Seint review of Seint Products here from a non-seller (so you know it’s unbiased). She said that even though she wanted to love the makeup products, she returned them all because her face became itchy after application.

Others ended up returning quite a few products as well.

Is Seint An MLM?

seint makeup reviews

 

Yes, Seint is a multi-level marketing company.

If any artist tries to recruit you and tells you otherwise, they’re lying. It’s possible to get an educated guess based on their company’s compensation plan.

MLM in its current form is not illegal.

However, the line between an MLM company and a pyramid scheme is a little hazy. And we simply do not want to cross that line.

Is Seint A Pyramid Scheme?

Many people wonder whether an MLM company is a pyramid scheme before joining.

If we look at the shape of the company, we will notice that both MLM and the pyramid scheme have the same “pyramid” shape.

So, what makes them different and distinct from one another, and how can we tell the difference between them?

A pyramid scheme occurs when a company’s sole focus is on recruiting new employees. That is how the founder and his upline make the most money.

So, if you’re “late to the party” and have been at the bottom of the pyramid, it’s very likely that you won’t make money – worse, you’ll lose money.

BUT, rather than focusing solely on recruiting, Seint has a credible makeup line that they sell. And, according to many fans, they may have very good makeup products.

You will not earn a commission when you bring on a new recruit, but you will be able to earn more when you have a team of them.

And you can still make money by selling products without recruiting others – albeit at a low level.

How To Start with Seint?

seint artist kits mlm scheme

Joining Seint is a reasonably simple process.

For your starter kit, you can select one of three options:

  • Essential Artist Kit – $99
  • Basic Artist Kit – $225
  • Pro Artist Kit – $450

Aside from the cost of the starter kits, you must also pay an $11.95% maintenance fee for your back office.

The starter kits also include training materials, product samples, and promotional materials to get your business off to a good start.

It can be assumed that the more expensive kit levels will also provide you with better value-per-dollar, potentially increasing your chances of success. 

You will get a discount from all products you purchase, and a better wholesale price with more room for profits.

Beyond selling the products outright, you’ll make some money when the recruits under you succeed as well – this is where the promise of passive income comes in.

Everyone beneath you is considered your “downline”.

Seint’s Compensation Plan

  • Enroller Bonus – a monthly bonus from new downline sales
  • Personal Leader Bonus – monthly sales bonus from your downline team
  • Generation Bonuses – bonus earned once one of the members of your downline achieves influencer rank
  • Retail Commissions – 20% commission on your personal sales

Decent pricing

At first glance, I presumed the prices would be typical Sephora prices.

If they aren’t the cheapest MLM products on the market, it’s pretty darn close.

However, it is wise to compare the price to the qualtity of the product received, and how much volume is in each product.

Concerns

Their NDA has a clause that says if you reach the influencer level or higher, you can’t work in any other direct selling ventures for a year.

I’m not sure about other MLMs, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this before.

Seint doesn’t pay these artists outside of their commission, so I don’t think they should stop them from working elsewhere.

Then again, maybe it’s good to have stronger alternatives than the old MLM model.

What Does The Internet Have To Say?

What Does The Internet Have To Say

Let’s check out some reviews:

“Just my two cents, but no. I like that they have a lot of cream products and offer both cream and powder blush, bronzer, contour, and highlight, but I think that the prices are kind of ridiculous for a beginner. Just to do a full face of makeup with the products they offer (brushes, blush, bronzer, setting powder, highlight, contour, brows, a basic eyeshadow look with a few shades, and eyeliner), it would cost close to $350-$400.

Let’s read another.

“Well I decided to get color matched by a Seint artist. Long story short I decided to go with another artist that I connected with better. I got my make up 4 pallet kit and my Seint artist was aware that it had been sitting in the cold outside my mailbox. The delivery was never sent to my door like my regular mail. You would think after spending over $100 that they would leave it by my door so I would know that I got it safely.

Instead they put it in the mailbox far away from my house. I had no idea it was in the mailbox and assumed it would be delivered to me as it was cold out. So when I got home and brought it in it was hard as a rock unable to use it smelled foul odor. I called my Saint artist and she told me to heat it with the blow dryer. I did that it was better but then the following day it was hard as a rock again. I have been unable to use the make up because of the poor consistency and the smell which is intoxicating.

I kept on trying to give it a chance and give it time like my Saint artist recommended that it had to melt into my skin. Well when I was wearing it a family member said to me what are you wearing on your face it’s really accentuating your fine lines. But I kept trying to make up. I’d truly believe that I got a bad batch every time I go to use the make up I have to heat it up first and I don’t think I should have to do that. So what I want from you is to cancel my email my name in all that’s associated with the company. And by the way I have been a make up artist a very successful one, for over 30 years and I have never seen such dried up make up in my life. So I’m asking you for a total refund.”

It seems at least one person had a good time.

“i use it and i really like it. i’m not a beginner at makeup, but i would say i’m newer to cream based products. i haven’t had the issue of my powders and creams mixing. there’s rarely fall out from my powders! i just have to set the makeup since i’m a bit oily. but it’s a pretty good product. only cons i can think of is i feel bad buying because it’s an mlm, and buying the makeup at first is a bit expensive. but you do get a full compact and a double ended brush for like $150, so it’s not bad. the makeup lasts a long time though!”

Is Seint A Scam?

Scam or Legit

So, is Seint Makeup a scam?

Not technically. You can make money with this program, but it’s definitely not as easy as the company makes it sound.

There’s a ton of work to be done upfront, no real guarantee of success, and – most importantly – the actual commissions are pretty small.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with front-loading the work and making the money later.

But if you’re grinding it out for 3 months and then your reward is a $50 commission, it’s not really worth it.

What if, instead, you could do that same 3 months of work (in your spare time), and your reward was a $500 to $2,000 payment that came in every single month?

And what if you actually didn’t need to wait 3 months? What if you could get started today and have your first payment in a week?

And what if you could double it next week?

Well, that’s the power of Digital Leasing

And, unlike an MLM, you can legitimately do this from anywhere. It’s a true lifestyle business.

Your laptop and an internet connection is all you need.

Some of the most successful students in this program run their entire 6-figure businesses from:

  • A camper in the middle of the woods
  • A beach chair on the water in Mexico
  • A small villa in Greece

Saying goodbye to our job

They’re able to travel around, living their lives first, and focusing on their income second.

Because even if they stop working for an extended period of time, the money keeps coming in.

So adventure, memories, and experience are the top priority.

And they never have to worry about how to pay for the next trip, or consider asking for time off.

How Much Does Seint Cost?

seint makeup cost

For retail purchase, the products range as low as $16, while collections can break through for hundreds of dollars.

As for the distributors, a product kit costs between $199 and $399 to join Seint.

Of course, the more expensive product kits include more products.

That’s just the initial product kits, but keep in mind that there is a monthly fee of $11.95 to host your replicated website and backend maintenance.

So, to join Seint for a year, you would pay upwards of: $450+ ($11.95 X 12) = $593.40.

Please note that this does not include extra expenses such as buying more products to promote at parties, training, gas, travel, or even paying for social media followers.

Or even more importantly, your time.

Seint Refund Policy

Seint claims to offer a 30-day refund policy, and their BBB complaints department actually looks like they honor it promptly.

This is a good sign for the company’s integrity.

Are There Alternatives To Seint?

Yes, there are plenty of MLM companies to choose from if you want to pursue this business model.  Here are just a few:

What Is Our Top Recommendation For Making Money Online In 2024?

Digital Real Estate

Our review team has spent months researching, reviewing, and vetting dozens of business models and thousands of programs.

While there may be no “perfect business”, the research IS conclusive:

Digital Leasing is the #1 online business model for those just starting out.

Whether you’ve never made a dollar online, or you’ve been in this space for a while but never really “made it,” Digital Leasing is for you.

Why?

1) It’s Flexible: got an hour a day? You can do this. Ready to drop everything else and dive in full time? You can do this. Yes, the more time you put in, the faster you see results. But even with a little time each day, you can move the needle in a Digital Leasing business.

And because this system is so flexible, you don’t have to constantly be working to make more money. It’s called PASSIVE INCOME because if you stop working, the money doesn’t.

Imagine taking 3 months off to just tour around Europe, rent a cabin in the woods to write a book, hike the Appalachian Trail, or live on the beach and surf all day.

This is only possible if you have an income stream that’s not tied to your time.

Jump All In

2) You Own & Control EVERYTHING: With MLMs and Network Marketing, you don’t really own anything. You have no control over the quality of products. You don’t even own your “team”.

Look at the fine print for most of the agreements folks sign when they join one of these companies. At any point, the company can change your commission structure, reduce your profit margins, or kick you out entirely.

With Digital Leasing, you own the assets, which means you have all the power and all the control.

Feeling Blessed

3) Little To No Startup Costs: It’s possible to get into Digital Leasing with zero dollars upfront. Because, using the strategies outlined in this program, you can get a client to pay you BEFORE spending a penny out of your own pocket…even before you do any work.

Even without getting paid in advance, you can have your first Digital Rental Property up, running, and generating profits for less than $100.

Scott Lead Gen

4) No Inventory: Alright, so most MLMs don’t make you buy the products and fill your garage with them anymore (unlike the good ol’ days), but you’re still in a physical products business.

And physical products always have physical limitations. Even if you don’t have to manage the inventory, you still have to deal with supply chain shortages that cause major delays.

Imagine finally landing your first customer, and then losing them after one sale because they had to wait 6 weeks to get their order.

With Digital Leasing, a 100% online business, you never even have to think about that risk.

ANNA DONE DEAL

5) Easy To Duplicate: Ok, here’s the best part: once you have your first Digital Rental Property up and running, you can literally DOUBLE your income with a few clicks, a couple keystrokes, and a single phone call (and you don’t actually need the phone call).

Remember: each Digital Rental Property is worth $500 to $2,000 a month in semi-passive income (over 95% profit). Every time you decide to create another one and increase your income, it gets easier.

Because you have more knowledge, more experience, more results, and more momentum.

If you wanted to double your income with an MLM, you’d have to double your customers OR double the average order size of your existing customers. And, guaranteed that’s a lot harder than a few clicks and a few minutes of your life.

Lance Lead Gen

6) Make Money Helping Real People: This part is what makes it all worth it. In an MLM, your “upline” might convince you that what you’re selling improves people’s lives, but deep down, you likely know that’s not true.

Most of the time, you’re either selling a dream or a poor-quality, overpriced product with a fancy label.

And that makes it pretty hard to sleep at night.

But with Digital Leasing, you’re actually helping people by solving your clients’ biggest problem:

Small, local businesses need more customers, and with Digital Leasing, you are unleashing a flood of happy, paying customers for these businesses.

You make money by helping them make money.

Not a big, faceless corporation either…a small business owner who’s using that money to put food on the table for their family, start a college fund for their kids, or take care of a sick parent.

Once you see how Digital Leasing makes a real impact in the lives of real people, you’ll sleep like a baby with a big smile on your face.

Boss of My Own Future

Now, the choice is yours.

You could continue browsing, looking at opportunities like Seint Makeup which could one day make you money.

You could continue researching, never making a decision.

OR, you could take a look inside, consider what you really want, and join a program that makes your dreams a reality. At the same time, joining a community of over 2,000 successful students that are living life on their own terms thanks to Digital Leasing.

A consistent, reliable, semi-passive stream of income that doesn’t depend on you or your time to keep producing profits.

All while genuinely helping real people who are grateful and happy to pay for it.
