We all know brands make a lot of bold claims about
different products, how they work, what they can do for you,
and a lot of the time, we fall into that trap.
However, One Size is a brand that I have used
and liked a lot, especially their On Til Dawn spray.
Setting spray. Right?
I'm greasy, I'm oily.
I don't believe in setting sprays.
I don't believe in them.
However, what I do believe in is using a setting
spray in your primer stage for your skin type.
So super oily.
I use a mattifying setting spray.
The One Size one goes everywhere with me.
If I'm doing an event, this comes. Doing something special
where I need my makeup to last all day and
my oils not break through and ruin my foundation.
This comes with me. I trust it. I've used it.
It works. Fact. For me, right?
So when I was sent this from One Size, this
is the Secure The Sweat Dry Til Dawn Primer.
If this works, if this works, it'll be incredible.
I sweat, right?
I sweat here for some reason.
You know when you get like those tiny little bits
and your makeup starts breaking up, and I sweat on
the middle of my forehead.
It is so easy to
retouch makeup that has been like, a little bit oily.
But when it comes to sweat, it's just annoying.
It's just irritating.
You have to blot it away with a
tissue, then you have to do something else.
Whereas with oil, you can just tap on a
bit of powder and it seems pretty good.
Or you can just, like, buff a
little bit and then tap with powder.
So if this does help, it will be amazing.
I'm doing a wear test for you and seeing how it goes.

If you don't know what to comment, let's

The claims, the claims.
"Secure the sweat. Sweatproof, aluminium-free primer."
It claims to be sweatproof, waterproof, and oil-proof.
Okay.
"Locks and makeups, and helps maintain your matte finish
by controlling oil and shine for 12 hours."
That is a huge, huge claim.
$34, which is okay if it says it does what it does.
The oil-proof, shine-proof, sweat-proof.
I would love that to work.
There's a few ingredients in here that kind
of, like, help the claim a little bit.
So Horsetail and Sage help absorb excess
sweat and minimize the appearance of large pores.
That's good.
Non-comedogenic, which won't clog pores.
Bamboo Marrow helps absorb excess sweat and oil to
intensely mattify and protect the integrity of makeup.
Here's the deal.
I have two situations in which I want to test this.
One of them is quite extreme.
So I'm going to London.
I'm going to be in front of big lights, cameras.
It's going to be a sweaty situation, right.
So I'm going to wear it for that day.
And I don't know how much I can film during
the day, but I'll keep you posted, right, throughout.
So I'm going to do that.
And then I'm going to try
it when I sweat the most, which is tidying my house Right.
So cleaning my filming room, doing,
like, activity things, not activities, not
like skiing, but holding things.
What makes you sweat?
Things that make you sweat.
I am a sweat person. I'm a sweat person.
I got the armpits under control.
Now, if we can get the face under control,
that's going to be a yes from me.
And I'll do it like a half face,
no makeup, and a half face with.
So we can see the difference.
So, yeah, I guess let's do it.
Let me put in the footage from the filming day here.
So this is probably the most terrible lighting ever.
We're doing it.
We're doing the full day wear test.
This is going to come in, if it works,
incredibly handy today because I
believe I'll be sweating.
So my skin, it looks a little
bit, like, shiny now, but it's not.
It's just a bit tacky, I guess, from...
You know what, let's go to the bathroom.
I've used a sheet mask, but my skin,
I mean, my skin just looks glowy.
It's not, like, sticky or anything.
So I'm literally, I think I'm just going to use
this and then, like, some eye cream because
I don't want to over prep my skin today.
Oh, that's a really surprising texture.
It's kind of...
I guess it's kind of thick, but
not thick at the same time.
It's almost like a thick gel.
Okay, let's push that into the skin a little bit more.
There's no real smell to it either.
Like, it doesn't smell, it doesn't smell fragranced.
But then it also doesn't smell funny.
Instructions, "Squeeze a dime..."
I don't know what a dime is.
"... size drop into your fingertips, warm it up,
and press into the skin before makeup. Pro tip,
wait and...
Pro tip. Secure the sweat.
And wait 1 minute for
formula to dry before applying makeup." Will do.
Oh, my light just ran out of battery. That's fine.
It says to warm it up in your fingers.
So I guess like this.
I'm going to try it around this area.
I always sweat on my cheeks here and on my forehead.
I wonder if it will help, like a little shine as well.
We will see.
That's all I'm doing.
I thought it would be or feel quite...
I don't know, I guess like matte on the face
or like a little bit tight on the face. It doesn't.
My skin feels normal.
It feels like it did before I pop the product on.
So that's good.
It doesn't feel like, uncomfortable in any way.
Not that I thought my face would feel uncomfortable, but
I thought it might be a bit, like, strong.
Okay, so I still have a good, like
2 hours before I need to leave. Wait, do I?
Or at least an hour and a half before I need to leave.
So I'll update you just before I go.
And I don't know how often I
can update you in the place.
It might have to be video footage and then me
voice overing it a little bit later, but I'll voice over
it tonight just so it's all fresh in the memory.
I couldn't actually film much throughout this day.
This is me in the car about an hour and a half later.
Looks good still.
This is me like 5 hours later.
And the skin, although it looks
a bit shiny, held really well.
And now I'll try it around the
house and see how it works.
Let's get into it.
Good morning.
This is a very wide, strange camera.
I am doing a lot today.
I have all my PR to sort out, which is getting crazy.
I need to start creating some content using that.
I've got a hair mask in because
I need my hair out my way.
And we are trying the One Size...
I keep forgetting the name.
Secure The Sweat this morning because I know
that up in this room I get really hot
and I will sweat a little bit.
I'm going to do... okay.
The scar is going to be without makeup and
this side is going to be with makeup.
So I'm going to do this side with a little bit of
foundation and this side without and see how we get on.
Let's just go ahead and apply it.
Okay, so it looks like, it reminds me of like a
cream the doctor gives you, like an ointment almost.
Okay, let's do...
It says to warm it up in your fingers.
Although when I tried it the first
time, I didn't experience any kind of...
look how massive and shiny my forehead, forehead is.
Any kind of grittiness or
graininess or anything like that.
One thing I would say is just be careful around
the eyes here because I didn't rub it in properly
here and it was a little bit textured.
But that's me not rubbing it in properly.
I'm just warming it up in my fingers.
Gong to do the whole forehead.
See, I'm being quite careless, but I should
really be a little bit more specific, I
think, with where I want to go.
Get right around the nose, especially
in these little bits here.
The last bit, I'm just going to
warm it up and rub it in.
And then I'm just going to double make sure.
Rubbed it all in and there's no
little bits drying out around here. Okay.
Again, doesn't feel tight.
It doesn't feel strange on the skin.
It feels absolutely fine.
Please ignore all that rubbish that's
from the past, like, days.
I need to take it all down.
Okay, let's do a little bit of foundation one side.
Okay. Foundation. Foundation. Foundation.
I'm going to use foundations that I
know sit on my skin quite well.
I don't want to do, like, a ridiculous
review and be like, I'm going to use
the most hydrating, greasiest foundation on me.
I'm going to go in with my Rose Inc
Soft Light Foundation because this is beautiful.
And I'm only going to do a very, very light layer.
And I'm also going to use some of my
Merit concealer because I f*cking love this stuff.
Ecru is my... Ecruw?
I never know if it's accrue or ecrew.
So I'm just going to use a little bit of that.
I'm just doing this because I want to do my foundation.
I don't have it up to my eyes, the sweat thing, but I
just want to do my makeup how I would usually do it.
You know what?
This is going on, considering I put a lot
here off the anti-sweat... what's it called?
Secure The Sweat. Here.
My concealer is going on really, really nicely.
Part of me thought that makeup
might have trouble sitting on top.
It might be a bit grainy, but it's not at all.
It looks really, really smooth.
Really, really, really smooth.
I am going to cover the majority of my
nose just because that's a key oil and sweat
place for me and then half of my forehead.
So scar side is with makeup.
I mean, I should be able to spot it myself.
I know what my skin looks like.
I just need to try and remember.
We'll do blush and everything like that.
But I don't want to look too crazy with
half a face because it is a Friday and
I'm constantly answering the door to packages throughout the
week, so I don't want to look too insane.
And I'm home alone, so I don't want to look crazy. Okay.
With foundation. Without.
We are going to test how this looks in about an hour.
God, my forehead's shiny.
Foundation aswell, sorry, I've got to mention.
Foundation has gone on.
I really need to learn how to control this camera.
Really, really, really well.
Let's try and stabilize it.
Like, it looks fine.
There's a little bit of trouble around
my nose, but that's not the product.
That's me again.
My nose just in this area is just an issue for me.
Oh, my God.
It's actually really bad and I
haven't hydrated it very well.
Let me fix that and then I'll keep you posted.
Quick change of plan.
I'm actually going to keep this crusty
area on my nose because sometimes when
I'm doing my makeup, let it happen,
and then my natural oils get involved and
kind of smooth out the whole area.
So it would actually be interesting to see if
my natural oils do get involved because the sweat-proof
thing says that it doesn't let oil through.
It's oil-proof... resistant, whatever it says.
So it'll be interesting to see how it deals with that.
So, yes, that's a good test for me.
Okay, so it has been a good hour, and
I just want to show you this area, which
would usually be my oils that have got involved
and made it, like, a little bit smoother.
It hasn't happened.
So this genuinely has blocked
my oils from coming through.
On this side of the face, I'm still a
little bit shiny, but you saw my skin before.
I mean, if I had prepped this properly with skincare,
which I did a little bit, not much,
then it would have been in good condition.
This side of my face.
I don't know if you can hear it.
Completely dry.
Not dry as in dry, as in dry,
no sweat, no oil, nothing.
So far, so good.
I'm actually very impressed.
Not with my skincare skills, but
with how it's worked so far.
So, let's give it a few more hours, see how it goes.
I still have stuff to do.
I filled bin bags full of rubbish, full of
boxes, which I then need to put in my,
I have, like a shed out the back
where somebody comes and picks up all the
stuff and then sorts through the recycling.
So I have to carry all that downstairs,
which is kind of like, it's not that
much a big deal, but I'm unhealthy. I'll sweat. Yeah.
So still a lot to do today. A lot to do.
Okay, so it's another hour later.
Excuse the lighting, but I want
to show you in natural light.
This is my face still.
No oil round here.
Very minimal, actually. If anything.
No oil on my forehead.
It's good.
It's done really well.
My nose is still crusty, which means my
oils haven't got into my foundation just yet.
The foundation is sitting really, really well.
This is really, really good.
It's been, what?
What's the time?
It's been about three and a half hours.
So we are doing incredibly, incredibly well.
If I was, like, just going out for dinner or I
was just doing something where it was going to be, like,
three, four hours long, this would keep me going.
And I'm wearing,
the foundation I'm wearing isn't, like, mattifying.
It's, like, soft focus.
It is a little bit hydrating, so there
is a bit of shine on it.
I think it's doing really, really well.
I'm very, very impressed.
I think this is going to be my last update.
My skin's looking a little bit worse for wear
now because I haven't really touched my foundation.
Wait, what side is it?
Yeah, touched my foundation or
powdered it, or anything like that.
It's lasted really, really well.
I mean, look at this side of my face.
My foundation stops about here.
I wouldn't say this was excessively
greasy, excessively oily or sweaty.
I've been out of breath today.
Let me just say that.
I think it's done really, really, really well.
I would rely on this product to take me
through a workday, an evening event, something like that.
If I didn't want to be shiny and sweaty.
I think it's done incredibly well.
And I think I'm excessively oily.
So if you're just, like, slightly a
bit oily, I would recommend this.
I would 100% recommend good skin prep.
Okay, so I just want to conclude
this video about the One Size...
why do I keep forgetting the name?
Till Dawn Primer.
Dry Till Dawn Primer.
Secure The Sweat. That's it's name.
Secure The Sweat.
I was very pleasantly surprised.
There's a few things I would say
about it in terms of using it.
It's not necessarily a negative for the product.
One, prep your skin.
If you have areas that you know are
slightly dehydrated, maybe you won't be using this
product if you're dehydrated or dry.
But my skin is oily and dehydrated.
So it is a product that I would use.
So in those dehydrated areas, make
sure you're really prepping that skin.
What I would recommend, Hyaluronic Acid serum,
your sunscreen, and leave it at that.
Especially for me around these areas here where I didn't actually
prep my skin very well the morning I tried it, but
it sat really nicely.
The morning I tried when I was at that filming thing,
sat beautifully on my skin.
So do just be careful.
You really need to prep your skin.
Another thing I noticed, looking back at some of the
footage I filmed yesterday is, I had a kind of
ring around one of my eyes where the product...
Where, obviously, I'd taken the product like this and
didn't rub it in my eyes because I thought
I didn't apply it on my eyes.
But obviously some product got up there
and it dried out a little bit.
Take your time.
And I think only apply it in
the areas where you need it.
So in future, I don't need it on my cheeks.
I don't know why I used it on my cheeks.
I think I just wanted to try it.
I'll just do my nose and my forehead, and
I'll make sure that around the edges is done
first and make my way into the middle.
So I'll do, like, all round here, then work
my way into the middle and make sure that
is properly smoothed out and blended on the skin.
Other than that, that's two days.
One extreme case of me being under studio lights
for hours and hours and hours, there was no
air conditioning in that room because they couldn't have
air conditioning on because of sound.
And it was boiling hot.
So it lasted, my foundation lasted really, really well.
In that extreme example.
Oh, yeah. And then one at home kind of situation where I
did do a lot and started to sweat, but I
wasn't in extreme conditions like I was before.
So to me, this tells me that if I
wanted to wear this to dinner, if I wanted
to wear it during a work day, I can.
And if I'm not doing anything
too intense, I think I will be good.
I'll be good with that.
I really, really liked it.
I think it did really, really well.
If you are oily, do check this out.
Also, check out the On Til Dawn
setting spray, because that is perfection.
Maybe don't use them together.
That might be a crusty situation.
Maybe I'll try it one day.
All right. Thank you so much for joining me. Consider subscribing.
Give this video a thumbs up and
I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
