This Not That: ONE/SIZE Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray

I'm sad to share that I've fallen in love with the ONE/SIZE Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray — that glow? Unreal. It gives your skin that glass-like, luminous finish without feeling greasy, and it made every makeup look melt together perfectly. But after using a full bottle way too quickly, I knew I needed a more budget-friendly backup.That’s when I found the Hard Candy Glow On Lock Setting Spray — and honestly, she’s the understudy I didn’t know I needed.

The ONE/SIZE spray is perfect when you want that red-carpet finish — hydrating, smoothing, and instantly radiant. It’s packed with skin-loving ingredients that help makeup look fresh for hours, and the mist feels luxe every time you use it. But like most luxury sprays, she requires a budget to match. At around $34 a bottle, using it daily starts to feel like highlighting with liquid gold.

Hard Candy Glow On Lock, on the other hand, gives you that same glassy, glowing-skin vibe with a dewy finish that doesn’t overwhelm. It melts your base together, leaves skin looking hydrated, and comes in at a fraction of the price. The only tradeoff? The glow can lean a little extra if you go heavy-handed, so a light mist is your friend. I did also try the Milani Dewy Setting Spray but I find it just didn't have the same staying power. A unique miss from our favorite drugstore brand.

If your goal is that radiant, “lit-from-within” finish without the luxury markup, Glow On Lock gets you surprisingly close to ONE/SIZE — because glass skin shouldn’t come with a premium price tag.
