Do you use either one? Or if you tried both which do you prefer? I was looking at the Givenchy setting powder but wondered if it is for mature skin. Would powder make skin look dry and get into wrinkles?

I use powder foundation a lot, along with powder highlighter, blush, eyeshadow. I find that using a spray helps it look more natural. I like WEN Replenishing Treatment Mist for setting my makeup.

I'm 69, with somewhat oily skin.

Setting spray.... it is light, moisturizing adds no weight to your skin  and gives a natural look.

Powder can give dry and fake take.  If you have oily skin than you should probably try powder to see if that helps.

I use both.  I use a powder in my t-zone and lightly over the rest of my face.  Use a setting spray to set and hold everything in place and it helps to take away that powdery look.  All my powders are talc-free as I found powders that have talc to be very drying.  Think the Givenchy powder mentioned has talc

@JudyL  Givenchy reformed their powder to eliminate the talc.

@Janey2  - That's good to know!

I currently use a talc free setting powder if/where needed over foundation, then proceed to the rest of the makeup application.  When I'm all done with my makeup I used a setting spread.  I like the Make It Last by Milani.  Right now, I'm using one from NYX. It's ok, but I'll go back to Milani when it's used up.

@hopi Which setting spray do you like?

I've never used one, not sure I feel the need, but, I've been curious about them; if I did I'd try a light spray. Tks.

ps. Funny my 9 y.o. granddaughter who LOVES Sephora and was making up with my makeup one day...asked if I had setting spray. I said, "No, I don't even get what they do..." without missing a beat, she went on to explain, very matter of factly, what they were for and why I need one! 🤣They "know it all."

@amyb  That is such a cute and funny story about your little granddaughter telling you all about setting spray ! She knows her stuff

a lot of people complaining about the reformulation of the Givenchy powder, apparently there is a shimmer to it now.

Nikki La Rose recommends it for dry , mature skin.

Chanel did a reformulation a couple of years ago , same thing, everybody was upset then too, especially  Mel Thompson !

miss her voice in the Beautyverse😔🌸

 I personally use Setting and Finishing powders depending on the foundation I'm using. The NYX hd finishing powders are great for the price point, and I use Chanel in my arsenal as well..
