Lock in With Setting Spray
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray”We sell a setting spray every seven seconds. It’s the number one product at Sephora.”
Patrick’s Hacks: “Use a setting spray after applying your foundation and setting it with powder. Once youâve done that, spray your face lightly with a setting mist, then apply your powder blush. That little bit of moisture gives your blush something to stick to. Itâs not wet, but it creates a more natural surface than dry-on-dry.”
More from Patrick: ” I was wearing full glam, and I needed it to last through sweating, huffing, puffingâyou name it. I grew up in Orlando, Florida, and growing up in the Southeast heat and humidity as a plus-size person, it’s a lot.

A glittery limited-edition version of the iconic setting spray was released for a Wicked collaboration. After demand from shoppers, the product is back. Selling out constantly, of course.
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr On ‘Til Dawn Glitter Waterproof Setting Spray”We’re a theatrical brand with high performance. Why not take On âTil Dawn and put it in glitterâand come out with the very first ever waterproof glitter setting spray, or setting spray with glitter. Itâs loved by many.”

Pick the Perfect Primer
âPlay with your primers. Thereâs nothing wrong with face mapping.”
“Sweat comes from your sudoriferous glands, while oil comes from your sebaceous glands. The way you treat each issue should be different, and thatâs what makes our mattifying primers so special, Oil Sucker and Secure the Sweat.â
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Oil Sucker Extreme Mattifying Alkaline PrimerâI wait for it to dry, and you can literally feel your pores tightening. It turns slightly white as it sets, but it gives you this smooth, perfect canvas for glam.â
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Secure The Sweat Waterproof Mattifying PrimerKeep your makeup fresh and shine-free all day with this lightweight, sweat-resistant primer designed for long-lasting wear in any climate.
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Secure the Blur Makeup Magnet PrimerâWe also have Secure the Blur with niacinamide, which smooths the skin. Itâs silicone-based, with microspheres that help blur texture.âÂ
More from Patrick: âThat one was our first primer, and I created it because I had a lot of post-acne scarring from earlier in my life.â
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Secure the Glow Tacky Hydrating PrimerâThen thereâs Secure the Glow, which is more hydrating. It has these cute little boba beads. I use that one too. Shaving can dry my skin out, and this one has hyaluronic acid.â
Use Lip Liner as a Primer
“To make your lipstick last, use lip liner all over. Not just outliningâfill in your lips completely with liner. You can even use two shades: one for outlining and another for filling.”
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Lip Snatcher Waterproof Precision Lip Liner”That liner acts like a waxy base under any lipstickâsatin, matte, glossyâwhatever finish you want. If youâve got that lip liner underneath, your lip color is way more likely to last all day.”
More from Patrick: “You can also use our Until Dawn Setting Spray on top of lips to lock it in.”
Melt Your Powders for a Seamless Finish
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray”The actual secret to looking super smooth and flawless is to melt all the powders, set it, and then layer it with Until Dawn. This is a brand new product called Powder Melt. It melts your powder, not your makeup. Itâs a glass setting spray.”
More from Patrick: “I’m known to be heavy-handed with my powders, locking it all in. If you just put powder, you have more hold, but you don’t get that glass skin look. This is a really cool product because it gives you that no-contact glass skin look. This spray gives that hydrated look without the greasiness, locks everything in, and provides long wear. Setting with it is really cool, too.”
How to Use: Shake well and mist 10â12 inches from your face in a circular motion to set makeup. Use before makeup for instant hydration and glow, or spritz throughout the day to refresh your skin.
Patrick’s Hacks: “You could wait just maybe 30 seconds after applying makeup to spray this. Or you can do it right away. Sometimes Iâll just spray and then lock it in with Until Dawn right away.”

Use a Lot of Powder
“I love powder for setting the whole face. You can bake, sculpt, set concealer or foundation, even touch up throughout the day. We offer the largest powder size in Sephora, about two and a half times bigger than most brands. I give you a lot because I want you to do a lot.”
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder”People think powder is complicated, but itâs really not. It locks in your makeup, blurs imperfections, and gives you confidence. I like to say itâs confidence in a jar. Thatâs why we call it The Ultimate Powder.”
Patrick’s Hacks: “For baking, sometimes Iâll do the top part of my eyes first, then my face, and then Iâll go back and do my lower eyes. So after that, I might do my lower liner and smoke it out and finish the rest. For me, baking usually takes about three to five minutes. Itâs not super longâit can even be just one minute. It really depends on your skin type. If youâre oily or sweaty, bake longer. If youâre dry, just donât bake at all. Itâs as simple as that.”

Customize Your Foundation
“When it comes to choosing a foundation, pick a goal. If your priority is to look fully painted and look your best with full coverage, then stick to full coverage and use products that lead you to that goal. If your goal is to feel like you have nothing on, thin the hell out of your foundation with the Vitamin B12 Base Thinner.”
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr B12 Base Thinner”Our Vitamin B12 Base Thinner is a beautiful serum that has a little bit of that sheen, so you’re definitely able to use it alone to plump the skin. Or you can mix it with your foundation if you want a lighter day on the go, to just have that minimal coverage but feel confident in your skin.”
More from Patrick: “It really plumps your skin if you just let it soak in. With all the vitamins in the formula, you’re definitely fortifying and enriching your foundation.”
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Turn Up the Base Full Beat Waterproof Liquid FoundationBlur imperfections and even out your complexion with a long-lasting, buildable foundation that keeps skin smooth, shine-free, and flawless all day.
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Turn Up the Base Blurring FoundationSmooth on this long-wear foundation to blur texture, control shine, and keep your skin looking fresh from morning to night.
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Turn Up the Base Butter Silk ConcealerBrighten, blur, and smooth with a long-lasting concealer that melts into skin for comfortable, crease-resistant coverage all day.

Multitask Like a Pro
âI love that a lot of our products are multitaskers. Everyone canât afford every product, and thatâs okay. Thatâs why I design products that multitask and come in different formatsâso everyone can access something that works for them.â
âI really try to keep my finger on the pulse when it comes to the economy. I love thinking about what consumers are going through. I think about how we spend money as a brand and how our customers are spending money on us. To me, thatâs a really respectful way to do business.â
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Cheek Clapper 3D Blush Trio Palette âYouâve got a cream, a powder blush, and a highlighter all in one. You can melt the powder into the cream or layer it up. Thatâs multitasking to a T.â
Patrick’s Hacks: “Iâd say blush is one of the first things to disappear because of how itâs applied. I love going in with a cream blush first. If you prefer powder, you can still make it workâjust melt your powder.”
More from Patrick: âItâs not just about performance; the names themselves help people remember what they do. For example, our blush trios are called Cheek Clapper. Itâs silly, sure, but also super functional.â
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Turn Up The Base Versatile Powder FoundationSmooth, set, blot, and touch up with this multi-use powder that does it all while delivering flawless, breathable coverage.
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Made for Shade Bronze & Sculpt Trio PaletteShade, bronze, and sculpt with a multi-use trio that lets you define your features and warm up your complexion with ease.

Thoroughly Remove Your Makeup
“Ironically, I would say removing makeup is an underrated step to a great makeup application. People arenât removing enough makeup, and that causes buildup and debris. Having a proper makeup removal routine actually leads to better makeup application.”Â
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Go Off Makeup Remover Dissolving Mist”It breaks down your makeup, including waterproof eyeliner and mascara. It’s water-free, so when you spray it, it feels like nothing. It even removes wig adhesive!”
More from Patrick: “I feel like makeup removal doesnât get talked about enough. I wish people would stop focusing so much on the overuse of actives on the skin. Sometimes people are just exfoliating away debris instead of treating their actual skin.”

E!: Let’s talk about the origin of ONE/SIZE.Â
PS: This brand was built in the comment section. It has been 13 years of being an influencer and five years of being a founderâand weâre just getting started. When I reflect on what it means to be the brand, to be the face, I think, âHow did we do this?â And I realized: Iâm the founder, Iâm the face, and Iâm the formula.”
At the core, I just love makeup, and I love transformation. So why not bottle all of that up? Iâve experienced it firsthand, and I wanted to give that feeling to people everywhereâto give them a reason to get glam. And ironically, we launched in 2020. Of all times to start a beauty brand! But weâve stuck through it.

E!: How does commentary from ONE/SIZE customers play into the brand’s decisions?
PS: Itâs everythingâitâs all feedback, itâs all data. And as a founder, itâs a different kind of visibility. Youâre not just in peopleâs faces or on their screensâyouâre in their pockets. Â It’s important for me to give back to the community we built.Â
When you actually care about what youâre building, you want to work harder and show more respect. Thatâs how I feel about my relationship with my fans, subscribers, and viewers. I have so much respect for the feedback and the comments they share about the brand.
