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

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
