Order Of Applying Products- Bb Cream, Concealer, Highlighter Etc

My typical face makeup includes moisturizer, bb cream, concealer, then powder, in that order. After that I use blush or bronzer if I'm going to. I recently got a benefit kit that includes small kinda trial size type containers of diff products and I don't know where to fit them in. Highlighter, for example, is one. I got sunbeam, a golden highlighter, and ooh la la life, an under eye brightener. Should I use those on top of powder, same as I use blush last? Or when do I apply those? Thanks!:)

I think maybe before the powder?

That's what I thought but I don't want to cover it up? I use mac studio fix powder so not just finishing powder, it's a powder foundation.

You can go either way. Try both and see which you like more.

Well, I'd definitely put the undereye brightener under the powder. If you don't use translucent powder, then I'd stick with putting the products on top of the (pigmented) powder.

Right, I know the order for those, so then highlighter and anything else you use just comes after those 3?
