When contouring, you can use foundation, cream based or powder products. You can even use a combination of all three, dare to transform. You want to make sure you have a concealer one to two shades lighter than your skin tone and also another concealer (foundation, powder...) one to two shades darker than your skin tone. When all the blending is done, make sure to "set" your makeup with a translucent powder (a powder that goes on "clear") so that your makeup won't easily wipe off. This is only if you use cream/foundation to contour. If you use powder to contour, you do not need to add another layer of translucent powder. Pro tip: You can use drug store products or high-end products, both work amazing. Its all about preference! Your makeup should make you feel confident, so whatever look you feel most comfortable with, make that your go-to. Do you enjoy a fully contoured look or do you prefer something more natural?
