Instead of making your makeup natural, it’s just giving a greasy and cakey look. So, powder texture will be very suitable for your skin type.

To balance this makeup, I think blush that has a neutral color like nude or peach gonna be the right choice. After you choose your blush color, you can continue to apply it to the apple of your cheeks. You can bring it up to give a V shape face effect.
