Contouring -- dark foundation or powder??

So I've been wanting to get into contouring more lately. I usually use a dark powder (like a taupe eyeshadow). But I'm looking for new ways.
When people use a darker foundation, do you set it with the same colour powder?? I usually set my foundation with translucent powder.
Or would a darker face powder achieve the same effect?

I usually do foundation, set with powder and then add contour.

Any tips on how y'all do your contour??

I would go for darker foundation and set it with loose powder..works wonderfully..I do it that way.

My whole face routine:

1: prime my face and let it set for 5 min.

2- correct under eye and other spots if necessary.

3- highlight with concealer 2 shades lighter that my actual asking tone.

4- contour with a concealer 2/3 shades darker than my skin tone

5- apply foundation over everything.

6- set foundation with powder compact. I set everything with this powder

7- I contour with a powder which is 2 shades darker than the one I used

8- to highlight I just use a highlighter on my cheek bone area.

9- apply blush and I'm done.

This is the recipe to a cake face lol!!
