I am curious as to what setting spray I should use. I want my face to look kinda glowy but not shiny, and what is the best cream blush to use?

Also my skin is kinda dry.

For setting spray, you may want to also try a mini of Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Setting Spray. It's like a hybrid, setting spray+ powder, but depending on your routine, it'll leave you set, but glowing. @Enziekimble

There's also Gucci Brume de Beauté Beauty Mist 2.7 oz / 80 mL , highly rec'd by @itsfi as well as Pat McGrath's Glass Skin setting spray. That Pat is also great at leaving a glow.

Right now, if your stateside, Ami Colé is closing up shop, but they still have there multi stick available (?) for $6!!! Ami Colé Desert Date Cream Blush & Lip Multistick ... But that's at the direct site

Also, for dry skin, you might want a glowing primer such as Gucci Hydrating Silk Priming Serum 1 or Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Glow Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide Fresh Pressed

@Enziekimble, my skin is normal-to-dry most of the year (occasionally oily on my lower T-zone area) and I 100% agree with all 3 of @danielledanielle's setting spray recommendations.

Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Balm Mattifying Setting Spray - Danessa Myricks Beauty | Sephora - it's not entirely mattifying, I'd say it gives me a semi-matte, semi-radiant soft blur finish.
Gucci Brume de Beauté Beauty Mist 2.7 oz / 80 mL is a love for me - less so the price point, but performance & results are top notch. Its skincare-makeup functionality adds a nice touch - it contains black rose oil and a hyaluronic acid derivative that helps to keep my skin hydrated, and preps, blurs and sets my makeup.
PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Glass 001 Legendary Glow Setting Spray 3.38 fl oz/100 mL definitely gives a glow, and a buildable one at that (to a certain point).

You can't go wrong with any of those three and some of it will depend on the finish/level of glow you're looking to achieve. Of course, how they perform for you will be a key factor. If there's a Sephora store near you that carries one or more of these products, it's worth going in and testing them on a made up face, to see results and how each wears throughout the day. You'll get a chance to test the sprays on each - all good in my mind, but they're each distinct from the other.

As for blush, I'd add to your list of recommended products:

HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick - longwearing (but needs to be set), hydrating (great for my drier leaning cheeks), buildable coverage, good color range, easy to use
Rhode Pocket Blushers have good color payoff and wears well over foundation as well as bare skin, but should be set for longer term wear.
Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush gives a lovely, radiant wash of color (easy to build up color too if you want more) on its own. If you want to amp up the glow, you can mix in a little of the brand's gel illuminator - Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator. Their illuminator comes in a mini size as well and is sometimes available as a promo gwp. Also, with the holiday sets out, there are mini sets of both the cream blushers and illuminators.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush - Brightening Serum Blush for sheer but buildable flush of color - I was surprised how well I like these - you'll get a lit from within dewy flush of color. A similar finish but different formulation is the Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush that @SportyGirly125 mentioned.

Hope you are able to find some beauties that fit what you're looking for. If there's a combo you find that works (whether or not from one of these recs), please do let us know. We love hearing about products!
