Beyoncé—and her makeup—know that the show must always go on, so much so, that she paid $100,000 thousand to extend the operating hours of the Washington, DC, metro after her August 6 Renaissance World Tour show was delayed due to severe weather.
And we mean severe: A shelter-in-place was issued just one hour before the show was set to begin. But of course, Bey wasn’t deterred. After ensuring her fans would get home safely via public transit, Beyoncé flawlessly performed the entirety of the Renaissance World Tour set list after a two-hour delay—and in the midst of a torrential downpour.
But what’s possibly most impressive of all is the fact that her makeup didn’»t budge once. According to her makeup artist Rokael Lizama, this is largely thanks to some rather powerful—and waterproof—setting spray.

The miraculous product in question? Patrick Starr’s beloved One/Size On ’Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray.
“Built for the elements,” Lizama wrote on Instagram. “Rain or Shine Bey did her thing!!!” Lizama then shouted out Patrick Starr’s product: “@patrickstarr I love you! Your spray helped us get through the show!”
Starr then took to TikTok, sharing the secret to Beyoncé’s rainproof glam with screenshots of his conversations with Lizama. “OneSize spray come thru!!!” Lizama had said via iMessage, attaching photo and video from Beyoncé’s rainy performance.

Since the formula features pore-tightening green tea extract and moisture-wicking witch hazel, it’s no surprise Lizama turned to Patrick Starr’s One/Size On ’Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray. The product is known and beloved for its long-lasting matte finish—16 hours, to be exact—and is continually selling out on Sephora and the brand’s site a result.

On ’Til Dawn is currently sold out—luckily, we have setting spray suggestions that should hold you over until Beyoncé’s go-to spray comes back into stock. Both Urban Decay’s All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray and Benefit Cosmetics’ The Porefessional Super Setter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray are waterproof like Starr’s, and similarly promise to keep makeup fresh, smudgeproof, and transfer resistant for up to 16 hours.
