Re: Setting Spray Or Setting Powder?

I don't use setting powder or setting spray. The only setting powder I have used was mineral veil and honestly didn't notice a benefit. I don't like applying lots of layers so I will only use with a noticeable benefit.

When I use a setting product I like a spray type. The reason is b/c a spray will set everything on your face including eye makeup plus setting sprays can add a bit of moisture (depending on brand/type) to an otherwise dry matte finish.

I'll use setting powder only where needed, then use my setting spray. I am in love with Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray.

Ok. since we're talking powders. Know this has probably been talked about before but I'm confused - What is the difference between a setting powder and a finishing powder? Why would one want/need to use both? Do you apply one instead of the other or both? Applying both seems like it would be a lot of powder on one's face.

@JudyL Setting powder and finishing powder are marketing words. They are the same thing.

My skin has become more combination to dry in my golden years, but I still like a setting/finishing powder. My favorite is Laura Mercier's loose powder which she calls setting powder.
