Saie wins strong reviews as a clean, skincare-infused makeup brand that delivers a dewy, natural finish—standouts include Dew Blush, Glowy Super Gel, Slip Tint, Sun Melt bronzer, and high-performing brushes—so yes, for many, the products work and look good. Reviews also flag weaknesses: sheer/short wear on oily skin, Slip Tint feeling oily or heavy for some, occasional scent and packaging issues (leaky blush, sticky or separating formulas), uneven shade range and mixed results on deeper undertones.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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
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...
I just got the Saie Dew Blush - Liquid Cheek Blush in shade “Chilly”, and I absolutely adore it. I was skeptical of liquid blushes in fear that it would take off my foundation, but that is not the case. It’s very buildable and works with a make up brush or sponge. You can add setting powder over it and it still shows through. Long wear time as well!

I am excited to try other products by this brand. Since I’ve only tried one thing, that I why I gave a 4/5.
I'm obsessed with the slip tint with SPF. Just the right amount of light coverage, perfect for the summer, and is so weightless. It leaves my skin nice and dewy and I was able to find my perfect shade match.
I LOVE THIS BRAND!!! Best clean brand and the mascara is great. I love that they use clean ingredients.
loveee their lip products, somehow both buttery and pigmented.
Love the brand, appreciate the range of colors. I love that it’s a clean brand and the customer service is great. I’m a fan of the slip tint, love that it’s light enough to feel like I don’t have makeup on but still look put together and the spf is a great bonus.
Amazing natural make up with super chic packaging. I especially love their spf tint and lip oil.

The Highlight gel in rose glow compliments my tan skin with a effortless glow on days when I opt out from using foundation
I love Saie! It is a great natural girl brand because the products are lightweight and blend well without having to apply a heavy base to your skin. I really enjoy just throwing on the glow gel and liquid blush with minimal makeup. It gives me a little something but still keeps things looking natural.
I love Saie's Glowy Super Gel! It's lightweight and gives me a natural glow. I am obsessed with it.
