How effective is setting spray?

I'm 50 years old and admittedly not very experienced with makeup. I mean I use the basics- foundation., mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow and blush. But I haven't ever gotten into contouring or anything like that. Recently I've been reading a lot about the effectiveness of setting spray. If I'm not contouring my face and doing things like that, will a setting spray be effective? If so- what do people recommend? I've got a kid in college in one in high school so I'm looking for the drugstore brands. TIA...

***After reading the comments, I have another question.

There are different types of setting spray finishes, Matte, Dewy, Natural, and Illuminating. Which should I go with? I use liquid foundation and it isn't unusual for me to get a sweaty face (thanks peri-menopause🤦😖) at 1 point in the day. But everything I read says that women my age should stay away from anything matte (although I usually prefer matte.)

Would to want to know if your spouse had a crush?

I've seen this talked about a lot lately. Some ppl think it's normal and are happy that their spouses are open about it with them. I've (50/f) been with my husband (54/m) for over 30 years (we have 2 kids) and I think my feelings would be so hurt and I'd feel extremely threatened if my husband told me he had a crush on someone.

Obviously this applies to ppl we know, it wouldn't bother me at all if it's a celebrity or someone he'd never meet.

I'd find myself questioning what is wrong with me or what am I missing that is causing him to have feelings for/think about another woman. What do we all think about this??

Dossier and Finery are now sold at CVS...

..(at least the ones in New England)....you're welcome 😁. I was so excited to see Finery there yesterday. They carry the body sprays AND the more expensive perfume as well. As a matter of fact at my CVS there is a bogo 50% off on the perfume sprays. I hope this is helpful for the "frugal* peeps like me who have to buy the dupes...
