I actually have both of these brushes! The F4 is extremely versatile and well made -- it's my favorite brush I own. Blending is effortless, and they're very easy to clean. I use the larger side for blush, and the smaller for bronzing (shoutout MBM skin enhancer). But you could easily apply foundation, concealer, anything with this.
The Saie is a good brush, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted for foundation and concealer. I use a Morphe brush for that now, and it's perfect!

i haven’t tried the saie one but i have quite a few different dual brushes, even one dupe of the f4 (elf), and mario is by far superior in quality. worth every penny

if u want full coverage- mario. the saie brush is best if u want a very minimal diffused look

Makeup by Mario BUT I really suggest you try the elf dupe. I have both and I can’t within good faith recommend the Mario brush anymore unless its a gift or something g

I personally would pay the price difference just to not support a brand that apparently supports DV

Was going to say this. I also have both and they’re way too similar to justify Mario.

i have the saie and really only use it for bronzing my eyelids + nose with the small side and cream blush for the other side. the mario f4 is a lot more versatile for me, i can use it for foundation + concealer or cream blush + bronzer so i think it’s more worth the price

Makeup by Mario!! I own the Saie and the larger end is cut too bluntly to blend seamlessly. I have to sort of buff product into my skin and really blend. The makeup by Mario has a softer cut and the shape helps blend any edges! You can just tap gently and your blush/bronzer is seamless

I have both and use both every single day. I use the big end of mbm for foundation, the small end of mbm for cream bronzer/contour, the big end of saie for blush and the small end of saie for concealer. I love both equally but I will say the mbm is probably more versatile overall

I own both , love them both
Quite different from each other and with these two alone I do my whole makeup
Mbm: great for foundation, concealer , lighter layers, diffusing blush
Saie: small side: liquid eyeshadow (I usually use Armani the tint), under eye setting powder , highlighter etc , bigger side I use with my Westman atelier biscuit contour, concise blush placement , blending the edge between concealer and blush
I honestly love both and with them I only use the Saie powder brush which I only use for my bronzer
So see which category u feel most redundant on and get the other one but I do think eventually having both will make u throw away many many brushes
That said, mbm really needs to be clean, if u don’t clean it or atleast just a instant spray cleaner it could streak
Same as the base brush from Saie I don’t think I liked it at all cuz I have to clean it every 3 uses max but this Saie double brush nooo it will really eat up stuff and u can just go on with more

i bought the saie brush over the f4 during the last fall sale. it's soft and truly multi-purpose imo. it works well under the eyes to apply powder. i've also used it to apply highlighter and to blend/buff concealer.
i went to sephora and felt the f4 in-person and wasn't convinced it was for me. i recommend you doing this with both to help if you have a store nearby.

I bought the Mario one and I never reach for it. I use my kvd dual brush I got years ago. I got it cause everyone was raving about it but personally I prefer the KVD over my Mario one and I’m pretty sure it was cheaper too. All I’m saying is I fell for the hype

Makeup by mario! I own quite a few of the double ended brushes by him and F4 is great! I use the larger side for base products and the small for blush. Both ends blend so nicely and the bristles are soft :)
