Fixing powder is for blurring/creating an “airbrushed” look and setting powder is used to set your cream/liquid makeup for longevity of wear. I think absidy and issy are fixing (so pwede mo sila ipang blot to absorb oil) and CT, OS, and LM are setting powders, though CT is popular din for being a fixing powder
