When you strobe your face is it necessary to apply setting powder to your makeup? I feel like it defeats the whole purpose of the strobing if you do because it will make your features fall matte and flat instead of highlighting the areas...

I always set the places on my face where I'm going to add additional powder products. It helps me to blend out my bronzer, blush and powder highlight easier. I also set my t-zone because I'm oily in those areas. If I'm using a cream highlighter, I put that on after I powder my cheeks and forehead

That's a good question, what lots of people do is set their face with powder then just use a highlighter over it, but I personally prefer using an illuminating primer on areas I want to appear glowing and just add an additional highlight if necessary 😊

Personally I don't set my face with any powders, I go for the dewy highlighted look, so I pit some foundation at the back of my hands, add a drop of oil, and then add some of my illuminating cream from Nyx and then when my foundation and all that is on I highlight my cheek bones, tip of my nose and Cupid's bow and I don't set anything with powder but that's just my preference

Bruh, Do whatever works for you. I have dry skin with only tiny areas of mild oiliness. So I powder only the areas that I don't want any shine. For me, that would be the sides of my nose & the small cheek areas on either sides of my nose where I'm a little bit porey. Powder only areas that you don't want any shine. The only reason to powder your whole face is if your foundation is too moisterizing and it doesn't dry down or if your foundation has a tendency to break down after awhile. Experiment, there is no right or wrong way. You don't have to and shouldnt blindly do whatever everyone else is doing. Do what works for you.

It's all about the choice of your skin type, moisturiser, foundation coverage that will lead you to decide how much and where to set powder.
