What do you think of my makeup routine?

1. Cleanse, tone, & moisturize my face.
2. Conceal dark circles & blemishes with Maybelline Instant-Age Rewind Concealer in Light/Medium.
3. Pur Minerals 4-1 Powder Foundation with a kabuki that is not very dense, since I only want a light layer.
4. MAC Colour Forms Setting Powder, since I like the glowy effect it has.
5. MAC Cream Colour Base in Shell as a highlight on my face.
6. Eyebrows with Wet n' Wild Brow Pencil in Taupe.
7. MAC Kohl Eyeliner in Teddy.
8. MAC Kohl Eyeliner in Fascinating on the waterline, to brighten my eyes.
9. L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Black Nior.
10. Burt's Bees Lip Balm

Questions:
-Do you think putting a setting powder after my mineral powder foundation is too much? It doesn't make me look cakey at all though. It looks very natural. I have combination skin if that helps.
-Should I put the cream colour base after the setting powder or before?

Thanks!

Sounds good.

If it doesn't look cakey, then it's totally fine.
Cream colour base goes on before the setting powder.
