On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
Buy it here
One/Size Site →Amazon →Summary of Reviews
One/Size On 'Til Dawn is a strong, long-wear setting spray that locks makeup in place, with several calling it "hairspray for your face" and ideal for events, but it's not for daily use. Professional makeup artist Ali Andreea notes it gives a glowy, non-sticky finish and is best for dry or mature skin, while oily skin should skip it. A few creators, including ugly elle and Marnie Goldberg, report breakouts or dryness with frequent use, so it's best reserved for special occasions.
