Did I buy a specific brand of setting spray just because Beyoncé uses it? Yes, I did. After seeing her put on a flawless show (like she always does) on her “Renaissance Tour,” I was in awe of the fact that her makeup didn’t budge through the whole performance — even in the pouring rain. So, I knew that I had to get my hands on whatever she was using.
After doing a deep dive of Beyoncé’s makeup products, I found out that she uses the One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray. I immediately went to the Sephora website to click “add to cart” — and I’m so glad I did. Here’s why I love this setting spray so much, and why I think it’s worth the splurge.
At $43.50 for a 3.4-ounce bottle, this stuff isn’t cheap — but trust me, it works. After using this spray in my weekly makeup routine for several months, I can say that it’s one of the only products that keeps my makeup intact. Before using this spray, my makeup would crease like crazy, no matter what I used. But with this setting spray, I no longer have to worry about that. It keeps my makeup in place through sweating, swimming and walking in the rain. I even wore it throughout the Disney World parks and waterparks in the summer heat of Orlando, and my makeup still didn’t budge.
This setting spray is waterproof, transfer-proof and locks in your glam for 16 hours. The aerosol mist makes for easy application and coats every inch of your makeup. With a green tea extract and witch hazel formula, the spray is lightweight and non-sticky, and it controls oil while helping to minimize pores. It’s also safe to use on sensitive skin like mine and has a smooth, matte finish.
Don’t believe me or Bey? Sephora reviewers call this the “glue” of setting sprays. “Literally glues your makeup to your face, and normally I don’t believe in setting sprays,” says one reviewer. “It also makes your makeup look so put together and is the perfect amount of mattifying.”
“When I need my makeup to be glued to my face, this does the trick,” says another reviewer. “I sometimes don’t even feel like I need primer because with this setting spray, not an ounce of my makeup will budge all day.”
So, if you want your makeup to look just as flawless as Beyoncé’s, this One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray will do the trick. While unfortunately I can’t say that I am Beyoncé, I can say that she and I use the same setting spray, so that counts for something in my book!
