The biggest differences
- Powder or cream. Laura Geller’s face line is baked powder. Seint is cream, blended with your fingers or a brush.
- Lips and cheeks in one. Seint Lip + Cheek does both, in 40 colors. Laura Geller’s blush is a powder for cheeks.
- Build or buy a set. Seint lets you build one palette and refill single colors. Laura Geller sells preset kits and palettes.
- Try before you commit. Laura Geller’s home try-on is a nice way to test powder at home. With Seint, I will match your shades for free before you buy anything.
Why I chose Seint
I wanted fewer products that do more, and colors I could swap one at a time. With Seint I put the color on first and the base last, only where I want it, so my skin and freckles still show. One palette holds my whole face, and when I run out of a color I replace just that one tin. If that sounds like you, I would love to match your shades, free, before you buy anything.
