I was wondering if setting spray or pressed powder will help keep my makeup on longer and fresher?

Probably powder because I use setting spray to moisten my makeup more so then to keep it on. But that's just me personally!

^^ I agree with Jacqueline, I use both and I think it really helps with both the look and staying power of your makeup.

I'd say pressed powder. Once you're done apply your makeup get a little bit of pressed powder onto a brush and brush it up the face and then brush down, this will stop the downy hairs on the face from standing up and your makeup will last longer x

Exactly what Jacqueline said. I use a pressed powder to set the foundation & go over it with a setting spray to reduce the "cake face" look.

I use both as well. like Miss Jackie said, settings pray seems to minimize that powdery look you can get after applying a setting or pressed powder.
I use Tarte's Amazonian Clay Smooth Operator finishing powder & Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray.

I have always used both. Currently using Mac Msf. As far as setting spray I switch it up Cinema secrets, Skindinavia, Model in a bottle. Depends on if my skin is feeling a little dry/oily.

Use the powder to set your foundation & then use the setting spray to set the powder.

For work and everyday I used pressed powder. For special occasions and events, I use both. I like Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray.

Depends on what your trying to do. If you like a Matt look and won't be sweating, powder alone is fine. If you want a dewier look and might sweat, go with a spray after you powder
