Can you use a darker shade or pressed powder to contour?

Absolutely. I typically go for a powder that is 12-43 shades darker and it works great.

I don't really highlight on a daily basis just use baby skin and also their bb cream I used a translucent powder and blush but I don't know if I should use the dark color before or after the translucent powder

Yes but I'd sugeat getting a contouring powder if your able to get it, it gives it a different effect cuz of the grey in it.

Agreed with Lili (:
you can use a pressed powder, but it's better to just buy a contour powder. it needs to have a cool/grey undertone to it to mimic a shadow.

Agree with Lili. But I also use normal powder that is a few shades darker than my skin tone for contouring because I just can't find a "real" contouring powder in the stores here. Do you have any links where I can buy one online?
