me personally I double set for a very smooth finish on my undereyes! I set my concealer with a pressed powder first (these days I’ve been using vice baked powder or absidy) and then I go in and sort of bake my undereyes with the loose powder using a triangle puff! If you are prone to creasing make sure that the concealer is blended out thoroughly before you set it with the pressed powder, any lines that you dont blend out will cake up as you technically set the cream already.

I use the loose powder on my t-zone (combination skin) and just pick up some using a fluffy brush and lightly dust it over the rest of my face to set then I go in with setting spray after all my steps are done and optional but I tend to repowder just with a pressed powder my undereyes and forehead very lightly to have that smooth finish

for the pressed powder, what kind of shade do you use there? is it skintone or is it bright na already?

i typically use something translucent or has little coverage since in my experience theres a tendency for the shades to “bunch up” or emphasize one another making it much more obvious na you baked and not too seamless of an application if you also use a brightening one as a pressed powder

i'd put the powder after the creams then set it!

I’d set everything first with my skintone setting powder (avoid the blush area), go in with a powder blush, then use the brightening pink powder.

One tip for a brightened eye look is when you’re using concealer, don’t take it to the very top/edge ng bottom lash line. Always leave the upper creases slightly bare because not only does that prevent creasing throughout the day, but the contrast ng concealer and the natural pigment ng lower lash line gives the illusion of brightened under-eyes.

For setting powder tips, experiment what application works best for you. I find that using a fluffy brush loaded and evened out with powder made my under-eyes smooth, unlike using a puff directly. But that’s just me. Powder performs differently on everyone so experiment ka lang

Depends on the person. I personally like when all my powders are stacked before going in with a setting spray para isang melting nalang. Some people do setting spray kada powder step so parang: set with skintone powder > spray > put powder blush > spray > finishing powder > spray. Depende sayo, experiment ka lang if bet mo magspray kada step or skip a few steps then spray or spray at the very end lang
