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, I’m starting to prefer the creams, setting them

 with a translucent powder.

 

I have both cream and powder bronzers. I’m rotation currently is Danessa Myricks balm contour in Medium 3 which is warm enough for me to use as a bronzer—it’s a very warm color on my skin, I couldn’t use it as a contour.

another option if you don’t want to use bronzer:

 

Something else I do is use a really warm blush to warm up the face when I don’t use bronzer.

For my skin I use either Pat McGrath Paradise Venus (powder) or Patrick Ta blush duo in She’s So LA—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 Bronzer Sticks and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Matte Bronzer 

Re: Cream or powder 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.
