What is the difference between setting spray and setting powder?

Powder reduces shine and sets the base, while spray helps melt layers together and adds staying power. Many people use both.

Which finish should I pick?

Matte suits oily skin or a shine-free look, while dewy suits dry skin. A natural finish is a flexible middle choice.
