When summertime rolls around, we tend to swap our heavy-duty products in favor of makeup that feels like skincare. Unless there’s an event to go to or a photo shoot to be had, applying a heavy layer of foundation, blush, and bronzer when the sun is high (and so is the humidity) can feel a little much. Lighter formulas that put the skin first are a no-brainer in the summer, and Saie’s newest launch comes just in time.
On May 14, Saie launched Dew Bronze ($25, a bronzer version of their viral liquid blush. If you’ve ever tried the brand’s Dew Blush ($25), you know how bendable yet pigmented it is, and the liquid bronzer boasts a similar impressive formula. Like all of Saie’s products, it’s formulated with skin-loving ingredients and has a glowy, skin-like finish.
Ahead, everything you need to know before adding to cart.

The Inspiration
Saie’s Dew Blush is a favorite on TikTok for its pretty, easy-to-wear shades and dewy finish. The pigments pack a punch, but are easily blended and look natural and glowy on the skin. Saie wanted to bring this beloved formula to the bronzer category, including the skin-loving ingredients we all know and love.

While cream bronzers have dominated the market in the past few years, liquid bronzers are starting to make a major comeback. “I wanted to reimagine what liquid bronzer can be, making it both nourishing, blendable and effortless,” says Saie’s CEO and Founder Laney Cromwell of the launch. “I’m not a makeup artist so I want that soft-sculpted, soft-focus bronzed look without the intricate steps. Dew Bronze is so easy to apply, mistake-proof, and melts in beautifully.”

The Formula
Saie’s Dew Bronzer follows the brand’s skincare-first approach and is infused with hydrating and soothing ingredients. Plant-derived glycerin is plumping, and evening primrose nourishes and heals dry and sensitive skin, while silica blurs and softens the skin’s texture.
The formula has a creamy, thin texture that is easy to blend in, so it’s perfect for beginners or those who don’t love a heavy bronzed look. It comes in six shades spanning cool, neutral, and warm undertones, and has a fuzzy doe-foot applicator for a targeted, no-fuss application. Since the formula leans on the sheerer side, it melts into the skin and avoids looking streaky or cakey on the cheeks.

Saie Dew Bronze $25.00
To apply, simply dip into the product with the doe-foot applicator and add one to three dots onto your cheekbones, temples, forehead, on your nose, and wherever else you expect the sun to hit your face. Those who prefer a more sculpted look will have to build up the product since it offers a more natural look. The result? Soft, glowy skin that looks as though it just got backfrom vacation.
