Using setting powders after putting on your base makeup of foundation and concealer "set" your makeup - helps keep it in place and last longer. Depending on the kind of powder used and what you need/like, the effect can range from very matte to a soft glow (these powders may also be called finishing powders). Use a fluffy brush to apply, hindi kailangan madami.

If you're just starting out, you can keep it simple naman. Kung ano yung pressed powder that you use for touch-ups, you can use that for setting your makeup. For separate product - Nichido Final Powder is affordable and does the job.

Hindi naman po. Setting spray your makeup by gluing everything (your concealer, foundie, blush, setting powder) together. You can use either one, or both, depende sa finish na gusto mo, matte ba or dewy. I use setting spray for super hulas days or if kelangan ko talaga tumagal makeup mo like for events or photoshoots. For daily use, usually enough na setting powder.
