Viral Setting Spray Roundup: How on 'Til Dawn Conquered 2026 Beauty Rankings
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
The beauty landscape is littered with defunct influencer brands launched between 2018 and 2022. Consumers grew weary of white-label formulas repackaged in pastel containers. Patrick Starrr took a different path with ONE/SIZE, targeting performance-first niches rather than sheer aesthetic novelty.
Rather than competing strictly on shade ranges or minimalist packaging, ONE/SIZE concentrated on high-demand problem areas: heavy oil control, sweat resistance, and full-coverage durability. By prioritizing industrial-strength longevity over trendy skincare-makeup hybrids, the brand earned genuine shelf space in professional kits.
Bridal makeup artists, Broadway stage crews, and editorial stylists adopted the spray alongside backstage staples like Ben Nye and Mehron. This crossover from TikTok virality to industry utility protected the product from the typical boom-and-bust cycle of digital trends. It established a new expectation among consumers: setting sprays should lock face makeup in place through sweat, rain, and physical contact, not merely hydrate the skin.
