Cream or powder bronzer?

So I have an oily T zone. Wearing a protective mask during the day can cause my pores to expand so I have to retouch my foundation during breaks. Currently, I wear a nars soft matte complete liquid foundation in macao and I want to pair with a bronzer. Should I go for a cream or powder bronzer?

Should I even wear a bronzer. I'm a medium brown skinned girl?

I have combo/oily skin and I use both powder and cream products. That being said, Iโ€™m starting to prefer the creams, setting them

 with a translucent powder.

 

I have both cream and powder bronzers. Iโ€™m rotation currently is Danessa Myricks balm contour in Medium 3 which is warm enough for me to use as a bronzerโ€”itโ€™s a very warm color on my skin, I couldnโ€™t use it as a contour.

another option if you donโ€™t want to use bronzer:

 

Something else I do is use a really warm blush to warm up the face when I donโ€™t use bronzer.

For my skin I use either Pat McGrath Paradise Venus (powder) or Patrick Ta blush duo in Sheโ€™s So LAโ€”gently dabbing across the forehead and temples any remaining product left over after applying to my cheeks. 

hope that helps!!!!

@Jennicake @Whether you want to wear bronzer is really up to you! I prefer cream bronzer because I like using it to create dimension on my forehead and powder tends to accentuate my fine lines there, but if you have oily skin powder may work better for you!

 

i really like Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick  and Charlotte Tilbury Refillable Airbrush Matte Bronzer

@Jennicake you don't really need bronzer.

 

I have combo skin with an oily t zone and like both cream and powder bronzer.  I wear powder most of the time and cream went I want my makeup to last longer.  I only do it on glam days or for special events.
