Saie earns largely positive reviews for delivering a dewy, “no-makeup makeup” look that works—standouts include Glowy Super Gel, Dew Blush, Slip Tint, Sun Melt bronzer, and 101 Mascara—while chic, eco-minded packaging delights. Reviews also flag drawbacks: Slip Tint and Sunvisor can feel oily or pill, Dew Blush packaging can leak oil, some shades and longevity underperform, certain formulas have noticeable scent or separation, and mascara can clump for some.

  • Love the majority of Saie products. The lipgloss, mascara, blush and foundation are all staples in my routine. Curious to see how the brand will evolve, would love more vibrant color options in these same great formulas.

  • The Slip Tint is my go-to everyday "foundation" and applies well after my skincare routine. I also recently received their Slip Tint Concealer to test for a product review and think it's a great concealer for people who want a little more coverage. I love their Glowy Super Gel as a lightweight highlighter and think the miniature size is plenty and will last you a while! Saie's products feel like a perfect blend of makeup and skincare and leaves my skin feeling fresh and healthy. I personally didn't like the brow gel when I had it, it felt like it dried out quickly and was more powder-like than gel. I still used it until it was fully gone and have the brush just in case I want a clean brush through. Overall, I really enjoy that my makeup routine has been taken over by Saie and will continue to purchase from them. It's definitely nice that all the products fit nicely together in a little pouch, convenience is a huge plus!

  • Not my favorite when it comes to ingredients. Their skin tint gave me an allergic reaction and I’m not sure what ingredient was the trigger. The only thing I do like is the brushes. I do they’re great quality, but their price point is a little too high.

  • I use the Saie skin tint as my main makeup base/light coverage foundation and I like how dewey the finish is. It’s very liquidy (water-base) but I think that makes it look more natural on my skin. Sometimes, if my face is not moisturized enough it pills a bit, but if I use a primer it goes on smooth.

  • I have loved pretty much all Saie products that I use! Their Foundation is lightweight and works really well for low coverage. Their new compact blush is AMAZING and lasts forever, and I just started using their liquid blush as well. I want to try their lip oils so much.

  • Like any beauty brand, Saie has products that are absolute hits and others that miss the mark. Their blushes, super glow gel, bronzers, and lip oils are incredible products. I will be repurchasing from Saie and am excited for their upcoming releases. If you like a no make up makeup look or a dewy look, Saie is definitely the brand for you to check out. Their products make up like 30% of my everyday routine.

  • I’m obsessed with the Glowy Super Gel Illuminator in Starglow. It’s all but replaced foundation and concealer—I just use this most days, and it has a gorgeous finish. It’s friendly to my very sensitive skin.

  • I just tried out this brand, and I'm absolutely obsessed!! Their tinted sunscreen is perfect for everyday use; it's lightweight and not too oily like most tinted sunscreens. Their dew drops are also perfect for providing a nice dewy glow, perfect for any occasion. They are also big on sustainability which I really appreciate!

  • I just got my first two Saie products--the brow pomade and the Super Glowy Gel in Starglow. The pomade's wand is a little skinnier than I expected, but it holds well. I love the Starglow, which is similar to Thrive Causmetics' illuminting primer. It's light and goes on smoothly and unlike Thrive's product, it doesn't pill up on my skin. It has a slight aroma that I'm not a huge fan of, but it's not off-putting. Just not my favorite. I tried the Slip Tint on at Sephora but it was too heavy for my needs. I could see mixing it with regular moisturizer, though. And I appreciate that their products are now at Sephora, since you can only return them for a partial refund if you order directly from Saie. I like the eco-friendly, no-frills packaging and I believe you can send the packaging back to them for recycling. I contacted them with product questions--email or text only--and sent a photo, and I got back a detailed reply very quickly.

    I love how the Starglow feels going on and how it looks, so much so that I used it on a Saturday, when I would usually go 100% makeup-free. The pump works well and the bottle was much larger than I expected.

  • I really love the brand, mission and packaging! I tried the Sunvisor sunscreen product and while it works (I definitely didn't get burned while wearing it!), I recommend using it on its own. It doesn't play well if you use a serum or product underneath (like a Vitamin C) and was more oily than dewy for me. it also pills/rubs off if layering with other products.

  • The glow drops are truly the best product I've ever put on my skin!!!! I feel like a really glow from the inside out.

  • I've tried nearly all the blushes and the Glowy Super Gels. Here's my experience on dry, sensitive skin. Pros: - Cute, minimal, slightly luxe packaging - Easy to use and great for beginners - Smooth buildable blush colors Cons: - Blushes do not last even half a day - Fragrance in the Glowy Super Gel triggered migraines

  • I've been using Saie since they dropped and find their products to be (generally) long lasting and non-irritating. Love that they have clean formulations and am really really hoping they bring back their lip balm!!!

  • They have absolutely beautiful formulas, gorgeous finishes and pigmentation, but the preservative systems need some extreme improvements. My products are lucky if they last three months without developing a funky, cigar scent.

  • Love some of their products, but others fail to pack much of a punch and make be look a bit too oily. It's fine but not worth the price - it's all the packing / hype around it. Wouldn't find it in a professional make up artists kit.

  • I tried some of these products at Sephora and ended up purchasing the lipstick. I’ve tried the bases from Saie and couldn’t commit to a color since there wasn’t one that fit my exact skin tone v ( I don’t enjoy purchasing two to mix together). The lipstick was long lasting and a really nice color, I world purchase more from this brand

  • Amazing natural make up with super chic packaging. I especially love their spf tint and lip oil.

  • Their liquid bronzer is great quality. The shade recommended to me was way darker than I would ever normally purchase but I was surprised at how much it sheers out. My only qualm is that it sheers out too much, causing me to have to use way more product than normal.

  • The concealer/skin tint blends really well and has SPF which i like. The cheek blush is my favorite though - i use a really peachy color to bring life back into my face and sometimes will use it on my lips too! Want to try their glowy foundation/sun melt next - friends that have it love it. Lip gloss started out great but the bottle doesnt close all the way so it spilled everywhere easily! Reviews are right that its pretty sticky.

  • Like with any makeup brand, some products are great, some products work on some skin types better than others, and/or some products might not be as great as competitors... But once you try one Saie product, you will be always thinking about trying another one - and another one - and another one. Saie strives to create products that are unique in its formulation/experience that you can't find in other brands, with a beautiful product experience and leadership that cares for the climate! I am a user of many Saie products - the illuminator, the foundation, mascara, brow gel, blushes, and a couple of brushes... I will likely continue repurchasing some products, continuing to try others, recommending some, and will likely not repurchase (the brow gel). Caution: Saie products are largely water-based. If you are mostly silicone-based in your makeup, it might not mix well into your routine. Their makeup bag is HUGE vertically and not super wide! If you have an issue with WIDE makeup bags taking up an annoying amount of width space in your bags, the Saie makeup bag just might be what you're looking for...
