I will apply all my face makeup at the beginning of the day and it will look really good. About one hour it will look very powdery on my cheeks no matter how much powder I use(no powder, little powder just on t-zone, etc.) I also use a misting spray after. How can I take away the powdery look? Thanks :)

Make sure you're properly moisturizing your face (DONT FORGET TO EXFOLIATE). Try a hydrating primer and choose the right foundation for your skin type. Like don't use a Matte foundation if you're having this problem. If you have dry skin I recommend the bare minerals brightening serum foundation.

I have oily skin on my t zone and kinda normal skin on my cheeks. I always use a moisturizer and sunscreen before starting my makeup.

I use to have that same problem a lot I even had to change my makeup and the way applying it and it wouldnt work until someone told me that no matter what skin type you have you need to moisturize your skin and my thinking was oh I have oily skin I need matte products but I was wrong my face would look great when I would apply it and at the end of the day it looked powdery cakey and blotchy so I started using an oil free moisturizer and it has completely changed my life!! No joke!

Try applying with a damp beauty blender and remember when it comes to foundation and powder especially, less is more. Don't over powder your skin and don't cake on the foundation.
