Honestly, when we saw how flawless Beyoncé looked while performing in the pouring rain during her Renaissance Tour, we just thought it was some type of Beyoncé magic. The laws of physics and rules of product don't apply to divine beings. That is until her makeup artist Rokael Lizama revealed the help of Patrick Starr’s One/Size On ’Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray. Which, predictably, sold TF out instantly. I mean, is there any bigger endorsement than the Queen herself?
Also sorry, just look at that downpour. Any setting spray that can help makeup withstand this... is something special. Posting to Instagram Rokeal wrote: "Built for the elements, Rain or Shine Bey did her thing!!!"
In a now-deleted part of the caption, he then shouted out Patrick Starr’s product: "@patrickstarr I love you! Your spray helped us get through the show!". We suspect the wild frenzy around the product, and its staying power on the Renaissance stage, is the reason it got taken out of the post. Queen Bey is not here to be the face of a product for free, but screenshots live forever and the word is out.
And now finallllyyy, the spray is back in stock. Run, don't walk.
The £30 setting spray promises an all-day mattifying effect and filter-like blurring finish, with green tea extract to tighten pores and witch hazel to absorb oil. But do we really need to tell you what's in it? When you already know it's Beyoncé approved? Better act fast because we doubt it will be around for long.
