For me, “a fresh start” means an entirely new
take on beauty. So Saie’s philosophy is “skin care as makeup” — our ingredient lists read as skin care, and we put a little bit of pigment in at the end. And you know, having your makeup be truly good for your skin is
revolutionary.
Saie Glowy Super Gel in Starglow ($28, saiehello.com) is so lightweight — you don’t feel it on your skin, yet it gives you this gorgeous lit-from-within glow. I have so many people telling me that others say to them, “You look so rested. Did you get a laser done? What did
you do?”
Saie Slip Tint tinted moisturizer ($36, sephora.com) gives you the most gorgeous and dewy fresh face without looking like you’re wearing makeup. Immediately,
you get hydration and plumping from hyaluronic
acid, protection from elderberry extract, and SPF from non-nano zinc oxide. Over time, you get brightening from the
licorice root.
I grew up with acne-prone skin, and concealer was always
intimidating to me. I would try a new one, and it would make my skin worse. We infused our new Slip Tint Radiant
All Over Concealer ($28, saiehello.com) with hyaluronic acid so that it would be hydrating and help heal any blemish. It’s just pure goodness
for skin.
I designed Saie Dew Blush ($25, saiehello. com) to literally let the light shine through it — it has a stained-glass effect. Everything Saie makes has to be easy and effortless, so Dew Blush blends like a dream to give you a gorgeous flush. We just launched Baby, which was a limited-edition cool pink that sold out immediately, so we had to bring it back
permanently.
Lately, I keep reaching for Kristie Streicher’s Sheer Tinted Brow Gel ($36, theksandco.com).
I love it! When I think of a “fresh start,” I think of that lifted, gorgeous feathered brow that Kristie’s known for.
Personally, when I’m in the mood for a fresh start, I love a new fragrance. So I’ve been wearing Frédéric Malle’s French Lover ($68–$340, fredericmalle.com). It’s smoky. It’s sexy. It’s such a vibe.
