Which is better for setting your makeup and making it last longer, a pressed powder or loose powder?

I normally use a pressed powder (L'Oreal True Match Pressed Powder) but I've been eyeing Marcelle's Translucent Loose Face Powder.

There's no difference, except that usually pressed powder is easier to carry, less of a mess/hassle.

Loose powder is buildable and finely milled pretty much it.Translucent powder is colorless.I really like translucent powders  :-)

Personal Preference: pressed powder

It's easier to press into the skin and absorb oil where as a loose powder will glide on the surface or stick to a particular area when pressed down.
if that makes sense

Thank you everyone it definitely does make sense! I think I will just stick with my pressed powder.
