I currently wear liquid foundation which is just a little light.I purchased powder bronzer to give my skin a "Glow" and to darken my foundation.Should I apply translucent powder before or after applying my bronzer?

I have very oily skin as well.Should I try a cream bronzer instead? Maybe I'll apply the bronzer afterwards.Hopefully it doesn't look bad.

I have oily skin... any thing cream (bronzer or blush) is a no no. leaves your skin way more oily. I use Nars setting powder and I apply it to my T-Zone and under my eyes and it comes out really well. in my opinion setting powder is the last thing you should put on your face. Here's the finished product on my regime

@Nicole, if you need something cheap corn starch works amazingly for oily skin. for a pressed powder Maybelline dream matte is good :)

Nicole believe me when I started wearing makeup it was only drugstore brands for me but because I have crazy oily and acne prone skin the higher end products work better plus for WOC (women of color), there's are a wider array of colors. I really can't suggest any drugstore setting powders cause Idk any (plus I just started using setting powders) but you can try blotting paper to control the oil and shine. I use that in combination with setting powder and my makeup looks nice all day.
