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!

Pressed as you can touch up with it thru out the day.

^^ 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

I use NYX setting spray, and NYX set it don't fret it finishing powder, and my make up doesn't budge! Try both! :)

I use both when I want it to last all day and I don't want that powered down look

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
