Favorite powder bronzer!

When I then put on either my Tarte Shape Tape or ELF Camo concealer I don’t need any setting powder at all which is such a nice change as most setting powders after an hour it starts to flake and at 54 I don’t want to look 74! ...This color corrects great, however it creases so much.
