I Hate Full-Coverage Makeup—If You're With Me, You Need to Know About This Brand

Packed with glycerin and vitamin C, Saie Glowy Super Gel aims to brighten and soften skin, leaving your face with a lit-from-within glow. I used it as an illuminating primer under the below skin tint and then used it again as a highlight on the tip of my nose and cheekbones as the last step in my makeup routine.

You can also mix this glowy formula in with your foundation; however, in the future, I'm most likely to use this product on its own on my no-makeup days to give my skin some life. I used the shade Sunglow, which is perfect for deeper skin tones like mine, but the brand currently offers this hydrating formula in Starglow, Warmglow and Roseglow as well.

Saie's Slip Tint is a lightweight skin tint that gives you low-level coverage with a dewy, skin-like finish. Made with a blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and pansy flower, the formula is the perfect hydrating formula for dry skin. I picked up the shade 9.5, which is for deep skin tones with rich red undertones. I usually opt for a neutral-golden undertone; however, due to the light coverage, it blended into my skin perfectly. I especially appreciated the fact that I couldn't feel the skin tint sitting on my face, an issue I usually have with formulas this creamy.

I'm not usually the biggest fan of concealer because it tends to crease under my eye, but the Slip Tint Radiant All-Over concealer was able to cover my dark circles without settling into fine lines or caking up. Available in 25 shades, catering to a wide range of complexions and undertones, this medium-coverage formula minimises visible hyperpigmentation whilst remaining creamy and easy to blend into the skin.

As someone with dry skin, I tend to shy away from most loose and pressed powders. That being said, the Airset Radiant Loose Setting Powder has made a strong case to convert me. I love that it's able to set my makeup without stealing the glow that I want my makeup to have. With squalane as a key ingredient, this powder melted into my skin as the day went on without settling into dry patches on my skin. I'll be honest, if you have super dry skin, this isn't necessarily a product you need for every day, however, I'll personally be using this for evenings out to set my heavier makeup looks without dehydrating my skin.

Even if you haven't yet tried any product from the Saie brand, you've likely seen this dewy blusher go viral on TikTok. Providing the cheeks with a soft flush of colour, this easy-to-blend blush has had rave reviews ever since it dropped. And the best part? I've seen almost every shade used on a wide range of different skin tones, proving how versatile it is.

I'll be honest, I haven't tried many cream bronzers that I didn't end up falling in love with, but this particular formula won me over due to its colour. I have a neutral undertone, which means that anything described as a red-toned bronzer usually gets a big "no' from me. However, despite how the shade is described, 'Deep Bronze' blends out perfectly onto my skin without looking too red or warm on my cheeks. My only note would be that if you are looking for a red-toned bronzer, this wouldn't be the choice for you.

Although I'm very willing to spend loads on my actual make-up products, I usually cheap out when it comes to my brushes. But believe me when I say that investing in high-quality brushes will make a real difference in how your make-up comes out. Featuring four brushes, Saie's brush set has something for every step of your routine. Firstly, I used the Base brush to apply my skin tint, the Fluffy brush for my setting powder, the Big brush for my bronzer, and then used one end of the Double brush for my blush and the smaller side to blend out my concealer. The bristles are completely vegan, and therefore synthetic, but they genuinely felt as soft as animal-hair brushes. The perfect brush set for those of us looking to be more conscious about buying cruelty-free products.

I have naturally limp eyelashes, so when I look for a mascara it's key that the formula can lengthen without clumping or making my lashes look too heavy. If you also prefer a more natural look, Saie's Mascara 101 only needs one or two coats to give you more volume. This mascara also comes with a distinct 'jellyfish tip' on the end of the wand that allows me to get to the hard-to-reach areas like the inside corners of my eyes.

If you love an ultra-glossy lip like I do, the Glossybounce hydrating lip oil is definitely one to consider. Packed with coconut oil, jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid, this product has the slip of a lip oil, the high shine finish of a gloss and the cushion of a lip balm all in one. I picked up the shade 'Shake' which has a light gold shimmer. I loved how glossy it made my lips look without being sticky, and the sheer coverage blended perfectly with my Rhode lip liner. I'll be picking up the shades, 'Push', 'Kiss' and 'Remix' for summer now.
