I Replaced My Foundation With Saie's All-Over Concealer, and It's Cut My Makeup Routine in Half

I usually layer my makeup over foundation or a skin tint for a smooth and seamless result, but that kind of look takes time to achieve. Lately, though, I've become impatient with my routine. It's as if the recent pleasant weather opened up some kind of floodgate to my social calendar, and now my days are packed with back-to-back appointments, frequent errands, and get-togethers with friends. The last thing I want to do is spend an hour or so fixing myself up in the mirror.

At the very least, I will apply concealer to spot treat my dark circles, redness around my nose, fine lines around my eyes, and the occasional blemish. And lately, I've been reaching for Saie's new Slip Tint Radiant All-Over Concealer. As a fan of the brand's iconic Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer, I'm not surprised I enjoy this concealer formula. However, unlike the sheer skin tint, this multipurpose concealer is packed with enough pigment to give me the extra coverage I've sought.

Years in the making, this multi-tasking marvel combines performance with a slew of skin-enhancing actives, like brightening niacinamide, hydrating hyaluronic acid, fine line diminishing rice bran extract, vitamin C-packed Indian gooseberry, and nutrient-rich marshmallow root extract. The potent mixture aids in minimizing the look of pores, smoothing the appearance of wrinkles, and hydrating skin with a slight plumping effect. I was most excited that it catered to 25 shades in cool, warm, neutral, and olive undertones—if you're olive-toned like me, you know how impossible it feels to find a complexion shade that matches you correctly.

The brand sent me free concealer samples of shades 4 and 7 to try, and they've been my go-to ever since. I like to dot 4 and 7 under my eyes to give it a brightening effect, but I dab shade 7 all over my problem areas and use a fluffy concealer brush to blend it into my skin. Despite its intense pigment, the creamy concealer feels weightless and leaves a glowy second-skin finish. It was easy to build up the coverage to medium, too, and because it did so well, I've been able to skip foundation altogether.

You don't need to set this concealer unless you have oily skin. As a dry skin type, I've tried it with and without powder, and both ways resulted in all-day coverage that never settled into my smile lines or forehead—even after a total of 9 hours of running errands and then a dinner with friends on a suspiciously warm day that made me break a sweat more than twice. I've worn it almost every day for three weeks and haven't gone back to a full foundation routine since.
