One/Size's Mattifying Setting Spray VS. Glass Skin Setting Spray
What if I told you the number one selling product at Sephora isn't a trendy Summer Fridays Lip Balm or viral Sol de Janeiro body mist? That's right—the top-selling beauty product at Sephora is actually a setting spray. Specifically, the One/Size On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray. The beloved formula locks makeup in place (no transferring or smudging) for up to 16 hours, all while absorbing excess oil so your skin looks nice and matte. Even Beyoncé is a fan; she used the spray to keep her glam in tact during a three-hour rain-soaked performance. Oh, and Cosmo readers love On Til' Dawn too—it won a 2024 Readers' Choice Beauty Award for best setting spray.
Today, the iconic formula got an upgraded counterpart: the Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. Think of it as the glowy, skincare-infused sister to the original formula. Inspired by the rise of glass skin, this new version is designed to hydrate while delivering a radiant, dewy finish that lasts all day. I got an early preview of the new Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray and have been testing it against the original to see how they compare. Keep reading for the full rundown—and whether or not the new launch is worth the same level of hype as the OG.
I first started using this setting spray when it launched a few years ago. I was commuting to grad school (via a 20-minute walk and a 30-minute subway ride) in the thick of NYC's September humidity, and needed something to help keep my makeup in place during the day. So I gave the formula a try after seeing so much hype on TikTok. It has a hairspray-like finish that feels more heavy-duty than any setting mist I'd used before. I will say that it wasn't exactly hydrating on my dry skin, but once it set, my concealer, blush, and even mascara stayed put for the entire day until I swiped it off with a micellar water-soaked pad at night.
Beauty editor Beth Gillette calls it her "going-out secret weapon" for her long and sweaty nights bar hopping around Brooklyn. "I come from the days of spritzing my face with legit hairspray to make my makeup last longer (2014 Pinterest was a scary time in beauty). But the One/Size Setting Spray is basically that, reimagined. It doesn't feel like I'm putting anything on my face, nor does it make my skin feel sticky or tacky. But it seriously locks down my makeup and leaves my skin looking matte and smooth. I have a mini that I take on every hot-weather vacation. I doused myself in it every day of Coachella—I truly cannot be without it in my makeup routine, ever."
As someone with dry skin who lives for a dewy finish, I was ecstatic when I heard about this launch. The original mattifying formula was never quite right for me—my skin is so dry that if I skip moisturizer, it starts to feel tight and borderline itchy. So anything even slightly matte is too much for my face. To be fair, I totally understand the hype around the OG. If you want makeup to last through sweat, heat, and humidity—and dryness isn't an issue—it absolutely holds up. But the glass formula? It's a game-changer for a glowy finish and/or anyone with dry skin.
Patrick Starrr (the founder of One/Size) described the new version as a formula that 'melts your powder into place,' and after testing it over a full face of makeup, I totally get it. It leaves this seamless, glassy finish—like you can't tell where my blush starts or my concealer ends. Everything just blends into one glowy, skin-like layer. It also makes my face feel refreshed and hydrated when I spritz it—the formula is packed with ceramides and ginger flower extract to help nourish the skin while keeping your makeup locked in place.
It gives me the hydration I need, with the same impressive staying power One/Size is known for. I wore it over my glam in the office and then to three hours of intensely watching a Knicks game at a bar, and it didn't budge. I also love the upgraded pump applicator over the original aerosol—it feels more skincare-forward, more precise when spraying, and of course better for the environment. The best part? The formula is also non-comedogenic, so you don't have to worry about it exacerbating or triggering acne while ya wear it. Truly no notes.
The new Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray is a heaven-sent for anyone with dry skin or after that ultra-smooth, runway-esque glassy finish. If you prefer a matte look, the original is still your best bet. But if dewy, hydrated skin is your goal—or if your complexion tends to feel tight by midday—this one's worth adding to your cart. I don't usually gush over setting sprays, but I must give credit where credit is due: Patrick Starrr really nailed it with this one.

Moment Woman Realizes Pug Has Been 'Emotionally Manipulating' Her
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman concerned her dog may be sick decided to give him the ultimate test to make sure he wasn't "manipulating" her. Turns out, he was. Maia McCann lives in New York with her pug, Smokey, who has developed a taste for the finer things in life. McCann, who works in the media industry, told Newsweek: "Smokey is 11. I've raised him in the city and I think he's really grown fond of New York's café culture and seems to think that he should get a pastry on every walk!" In a clip to her TikTok page @smokeyandmaia on March 28, McCann held Smokey up to the camera and declared she was about to play a game: "Is Smokey sick, or is he emotionally manipulating me so that I'll take him for cheesy bread?" She explained the pug had refused to eat breakfast, but had recently been tricking her in order to get the food he really wants. So, before taking him to the vet, she put him to the test, and walked with him down the street towards their regular café—and the closer they got, the more Smokey pulled on the leash. "It is looking pretty likely Smokey was faking sick to emotionally manipulate me into going and getting him a cheesy bread," McCann said as they got closer to the café. And once inside, Smokey began licking his lips in anticipation—and eagerly snapped up the treat. "It is such a miracle that you made a full recovery," she said sarcastically as Smokey tucked in. "We must have discovered the cure for the cheesy bread disease, thank goodness. "Didn't even have to pay the vet to tell me you're just smarter than you look sometimes." In a caption to the video, McCann described this manipulation as "the only trick Smokey knows." TikTok users had a big reaction, awarding the video more than 270,000 likes, as one commenter joked Smokey was saying: "I guess I'll try and force down a little cheesy bread to settle my stomach." "He was sick," another wrote. "Of not having cheesy bread." Maia McCann holds Smokey to the camera before checking whether he really has no appetite. Maia McCann holds Smokey to the camera before checking whether he really has no appetite. TikTok @smokeyandmaia "He didn't want to spoil his appetite," another suggested, as another shared: "My dog limps aggressively when he wants cookies." And as one commenter declared: "He was sick and then healed by cheesy bread." Dogs can fake injuries or illness, and it may stem from reinforced behavior. If a dog notices they get extra attention or treats when they're sick or injured, they may act the same way later to get the same result, according to Nutri-Paw. Owners should take their pets to the veterinarian to be sure, but signs the dog may be faking include the symptoms only being present when you're nearby, or the symptoms disappearing when the dog is distracted or excited.

Micah Parsons Makes Cowboys Announcement for Monday
Micah Parsons Makes Cowboys Announcement for Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - It went from "prank'' to "pep talk'' to "promise.'' Micah Parsons make weekend phone calls to a handful of Dallas Cowboys pals, following up on the viral trend of contacting friends to wish them an out-of-the-blue "goodnight.'' Advertisement Micah called teammates Tyler Smith, Trevon Diggs, Osa Odighizuwa and KaVontae Turpin. ... and then he called his new coach, Brian Schottenheimer. And that's when things took a serious and important turn. "Look, I know this is weird for everybody man, but look, you're handling everything the right way, bro," Schotty said to Parsons, of course referring to Micah's contract negotiations. "This thing's going to get worked out, and again I'm thrilled to see where we take this thing, man. "We're building something special and you're going to be a huge part of it, bro." "Hell yeah!" Parsons responded. Parsons, who recorded himself making the phone calls to post on his TikTok, is of course entangled in negotiations with the Cowboys toward a contract extension that eventually figures to pay him $40 million or so annually, making him one of the richest non-QBs in NFL history. Advertisement Also part of the conversation, as the team begins mandatory minicamp this week? That aforementioned "promise.'' "You know, I feel like player to coach, just checking in on you. Wanted to say goodnight, whole fam as well. See you Monday, you know, excited about next week," Micah said to his first-year head coach. "See you Monday.'' Parsons has been "in and out'' (Schottenheimer's words) for the team's voluntary OTAs, and has all along vowed to not use an offseason holdout as leverage in his contract talks with team owners Jerry and Stephen Jones. Things can change; this is a short session this week (team dinner on Monday and three days of work) and then comes six weeks off before training camp in Oxnard. ... so leverage can still be in play down the line. Advertisement But Micah has stated how important it is to him to be with the team and with this coach. And Schotty's support and endorsement of his All-Pro defensive cornerstone reinforces that same importance. During his short time on the job, Schottenheimer has preached the building of relationships while he focuses on remaining "authentic.'' This listen-behind-the-curtain establishes that ... And accomplishes so much more. "I appreciate the call, man, for real, and I look forward to seeing you Monday,'' the coach told the player. "And it's going to be a great week."

Woman Asked to Dog Sit—but There's a Problem: 'Not Safe'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman's first day of dog sitting took an unexpected turn when her furry companion strongly resisted having a leash put on. In a TikTok video, the creator captured the confusing facial expression—somewhere between a scowl and a growl—that the dog made every time she tried to come close to her with her leash. Newsweek spoke to professional dog trainer Ali Smith about the dog's behavior and how the new sitter can take on the challenge. "Dog sitting day one and she won't let me put her leash on," the creator captioned the video. "That collar took me abt 2 hours to put on I sat on the couch and she finally came up to me and let me put it on." A dog growls on the couch with its owner. A dog growls on the couch with its video shows the dog making a threatening face each time the sitter approaches, making it clear she was not thrilled about the process. The clip resonated with many TikTok users, who offered varied perspectives on the dog's behavior. "Call the owners," a top-liked comment read. "This is not safe behavior!" But another commenter noted the importance of distinguishing between genuine aggression and a dog's quirky expressions. "For me, it depends on whether they're growling or are showing physical signs that they don't want to," they wrote. "I have a dog that I dog-sit and she looks terrifying, but that's just her grinning 'hello.'" Another user jokingly wished their dog had similar self-preservation instincts: "I wish my dog had boundaries like this. She would literally let anybody take her." An Expert Weighs In Newsweek spoke to Smith, CEO and founder at Rebarkable, a puppy-training platform, about the different perspectives on the situation and why the dog might be resistant to the leash. She offered expert insight into why a dog might react negatively to a collar or leash—even with someone familiar. "There are two core reasons that a dog can be weird about a collar, or any piece of equipment," Smith explained. "That's, one, a lack of familiarity [and] two, poor associations with the collar." She added that the lack of familiarity is usually addressed in puppyhood through the process of socialization. Poor association, on the other hand, is simply learned over time. The pup in the video's aversion could have to do with anything related to the collar—even the sound of the buckle, she said. Smith elaborated on how negative experiences can shape a dog's perception: "Similar to how our dogs often learn vets means bad things happen, if a dog gets 'corrected' via a collar, or physically moved with a collar or similar, they can swiftly build negative associations." For those facing similar challenges to the creator, she offered practical advice to ease the process. "Don't always aim for getting the collar on," she advised. "Even showing pup the collar and them not running away can be a good thing. Reward heavily with tasty treats or play, and you'll start seeing your dog's uncertainty of their collar disappear." Newsweek reached out to @m6069884 for comment via TikTok.
