Shortly after Karen Wazen debuted a men’s sunglasses line for her namesake accessories label, the Dubai-based entrepreneur is proving she has no intention of slowing down. The Lebanese fashion founder has just teamed up with clean beauty favorite Saie on a limited-edition collection of shades and lip products that launches on July 24.
For anyone familiar with Karen Wazen, the partnership feels like a natural next step. Since launching her eyewear brand in 2018, Wazen has transformed it into one of the Middle East’s biggest fashion success stories, expanding from sunglasses into jewelry, accessories, and most recently men’s. Alongside growing a global audience of more than 16 million followers, she has steadily positioned herself as one of the region’s most influential entrepreneurs, with retail locations across the UAE, Lebanon, and Jordan, while continuing international expansion.
Her latest collaborator is Saie, the cult-favorite clean beauty brand founded by Laney Crowell. Since its launch in 2019, the New York-based label has developed a loyal following thanks to its glow-first approach to makeup, with products like Glowy Super Gel and Dew Blush becoming staples in beauty routines across TikTok and beyond. Built around high-performance formulas and a philosophy of enhancing rather than masking natural features, Saie’s aesthetic aligns closely with Wazen’s understated approach to style.
The collaboration centers on an exclusive black cat-eye sunglasses silhouette featuring subtle co-branding and 100 percent UV protection. The limited-edition release also includes a redesigned Karen Wazen pillow pouch with dedicated compartments for beauty products, alongside Wazen’s curated Saie essentials, including the Glossy Bounce Hydrating Lip Oil and Lip Liner 101.
More than another celebrity collaboration, the collection represents two female-founded brands that have built devoted communities by championing elevated everyday essentials over fleeting trends. Whether you know Karen Wazen through her signature eyewear or Saie through its minimalist makeup philosophy, the collaboration sits comfortably at the intersection of fashion and beauty, proving that sometimes the best partnerships are the ones that make perfect sense.
The Saie x Karen Wazen collaboration will be available through Saie’s website, Karen Wazen retail stores, and Karen Wazen’s online store. Customers purchasing the co-designed sunglasses in Karen Wazen stores will also receive exclusive Saie product samples while stocks last.
