As a makeup enthusiast, preserving my glam is top priority. I’ve tested everything from primers to setting sprays, and I’ve been let down by sticky and chalky formulas more times than I can count. One product has made its way to the top of my list — and it’s a viral setting spray that has earned the stamp of approval from A-listers and athletes alike. Enter: the One/Size by Patrick Starrr On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray.
I first caught wind of the spray on social media. Shortly after it went viral, the brand confirmed on Instagram that the spray preserved Beyoncé’s makeup during her Renaissance tour. It wasn’t just any performance, the Grammy winner’s glam didn’t budge despite her performing in the pouring rain.
Almost two years later, the setting spray went viral again after a new campaign with WNBA superstar DiJonai Carrington. A relatively new fan of women’s basketball, I was instantly drawn to the Dallas Wings guard — and it had little to do with her skills on the court. I couldn’t believe how flawless her makeup looked at the end of every game. No smudged brows or under-eye creasing, Carrington always looks polished in post-game interviews.
In mid-March, the WNBA guard shared the product that kept her makeup in place: “The secret is out! @onesize OnTilDawn Setting Spray is your Glam Insurance for your makeup. It keeps my makeup locked in all day,” she wrote in an Instagram post. Who knew that the long-lasting glam I loved on Carrington came courtesy of a product that was already in my lineup?

You’re probably wondering what’s so special about this mist. The answer is simple. After applying layers of creams, shadows and powders to create my everyday glam, this light-as-air setting spray instantly locks it all in place. I mean, it doesn’t move. All it takes is a few seconds of shaking the container, holding it a few inches away from my face and misting it in a circular motion to achieve a waterproof, matte finish for up to 16 hours.
The viral spray has a skin-loving formula that keeps me coming back. Green tea extract helps tighten pores while witch hazel absorbs oil and delivers a blurred, filter-like finish. When I get a little oily on busy days, I spritz a quick layer to touch up my face. Bonus: The beloved spray has a non-sticky formula and doesn’t leave behind streaks. That’s a huge plus for an oily-skinned girl like me!
Over 1,000 Sephora shoppers confirm this setting spray lives up to the hype, calling it a “holy grail” because of its long-wear formula.
Like any makeup product, there are pros and cons. One thing I quickly learned about this spray is that it has a strong scent. As a longtime beauty buff, it doesn’t bother me, but I can totally see how it could impact someone more sensitive to smell. Letting the spray settle before opening your eyes is another key I’ve picked up to prevent irritation and tearing.
Need more proof of how awesome this spray is? It’s ultra-affordable. Shoppers can snag the mini for less than $20!
