About 5 years ago, I started to really pay attention to the ingredients in the beauty products I use. The beauty industry has changed a lot since then, including the term “clean beauty.” As I learned more about the beauty industry and ingredients in skincare and cosmetics, one of the things I realized was that it was severely lacking in regulations. Terms like little oversight and clean beauty mean little when there are no standard definitions or requirements across the industry. That said, I’ve found brands I love that prioritize safe ingredients and make sustainability part of their business. Saie Beauty is a true model brand in the beauty industry, not only because of their incredible products, but also because of their attitude towards sustainability and as a voice for women on important issues including reproductive freedom.
I was eagerly anticipating the launch of Saie Beauty because I had followed founder Laney long before she launched Saie. I was super excited to try this brand and I’ve been a huge fan of it ever since. They have a wide variety of beauty products (from small to large, they have added many amazing new products since launch). I’ve tried many of their products, so today I’m going to round up my favorites and share a review of my recommended Saie Beauty products.

Saie launched several products and has since expanded into multiple cosmetic categories. The brand’s mission is to create beauty products with high-performance formulations, sustainable packaging and practices, and clean ingredients.

I’ve fallen in love with many of their products since trying Saie Beauty when they first launched in 2019, and I’ll break down my must-haves below.
Saie Beauty Products (Products I’ve Tested + My Favorites)
saie beauty GLOWY SUPER GEL
If you’re looking for the ultimate lighting that glows from within, this is it. Saie Glowy Super Gel Is my favorite beauty product all year and a staple in my makeup routine. Use it as a primer, mix it with foundation or tinted moisturizer or add some to your makeup as a highlight, there’s no wrong way to use Glowy Super Gel. This is the ultimate dewy, luminous finish without being too shiny.
I really like these two shades, starlight and sunshine. Starglow is more of a champagne, while Sunglow has a bit of bronze. I use Starglow in fall and winter and Sunglow in summer.

Sai Beauty Concealer
I’m really excited to try Saie’s Hydrabeam Concealer, because the reviews are very enthusiastic. I’m here to say that this one definitely lives up to the hype. It’s a super hydrating sheer concealer with just the right amount of coverage in a lightweight formula. Granted, I don’t wear concealer every day, but when I want some extra coverage, this is my go-to. It stays on all day, but also feels lightweight, doesn’t clump or wrinkle, and washes off easily. it comes in 9 shades (I wear HB 2).

Saie Beauty Bronzer
seriously Best bronzer I’ve ever used, Saie Sun Melt Cream Bronzer It is a lightweight cream bronzer with a natural glow. As someone who usually avoids bronzers because I can never get it right, this one is foolproof. It melts into the skin for a gorgeous sun-kissed glow that feels light on the skin. It’s formulated with skin-nourishing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, jojoba and grapeseed oil. The Sun Melt is available in four colors, from light bronze to dark bronze (I wear light bronze). I like to apply Sun Melt with Saie Beauty’s big brush (watch a video here).
advantage
- Messy-free packaging
- easy to apply
- Feel the skin weightless
shortcoming
not any
Saimei Airset
I’m not a fan so I’m skeptical about trying Saie’s Airset Setting Powder. My daily makeup routine is as minimal as possible, but I’m blown away According to Airset results. It feels completely weightless on the skin and is actually very easy to apply. It still has a radiant glow but removes any excess shine. As someone with dry skin, I try to avoid powders, but the Airset doesn’t clump or dry out. You can apply it to the whole or specific areas to target the gloss.
advantage
- Ethically sourced mica
- Moisturizing formula with squalane
- weightlessness complete
shortcoming
not any
Sai beauty blush
I have tested several Saie’s Dew blush shade (It currently has 6 different colors). I love the creamy consistency of Dew Blush and how it blends into my skin when applied. It is best to blend with a brush as the shade is very pigmented so a little will do. For a natural looking flush, I find peach to be the best color for my skin tone. Other colors are a little too bright for me.
advantage
- Skin feels light
- Water-based moisturizing formula
shortcoming
- Some shades are very pigmented and it’s hard to get subtle color
Saimei mascara
Sai’s Mascara 101 Was one of the first products I tested from this brand. It’s a really good formula that doesn’t irritate my eyes and washes off easily. It doesn’t runny or smudge all day, and the lashes feel conditioned without drying or stiffness. The applicator is very good and excels at separating lashes. This is an awesome mascara. I call this a good everyday mascara. It doesn’t create dramatic length or volume, but it’s great if you want a natural pop.
advantage
- Lengthen and Condition Eyelashes
- easy to wash off
- good applicator
shortcoming
- Good at lengthening but not plumping
Sai beauty eyebrow cream
Sai’s Eyebrow Butter is an oil-based pomade with a mini roll-on brush for grooming and tame brows. The formula is conditioning and moisturizing and comes in four shades, including clear. I think this formula is great for shaping brows and adding some definition, but as someone who loves filling in brows, I needed to use a pencil before. If you are looking for a very simple, low maintenance eyebrow grooming product, this is it.If you like fuller brows, I like Advantage Brows 1980.
advantage
- Easy to use and great for taming.
- Conditioning formula
shortcoming
- Does not add volume or fullness to brows
Saie Beauty Dew Balm
Sai’s dew balm Is their dewy highlighter version. It comes in 3 shades including lavender, rose gold and bronze nectar. I have tried all 3 shades of Dew Balm but have not used it enough to put it in my regular makeup routine. It’s a thick formula, so a little product can go a long way. My favorite shade is Bronze Nectar. I have used it on my eyes but found it to run over time so in my experience it is best used on cheeks.
advantage
- Gives a natural glow
- Sheer color makes it easy to apply
shortcoming
- Packaging can be difficult to use
- Not suitable for use on eyes
