What you're describing is probably hardpan. This can happen when you're using the same tool to pick up the product and put it on your face without cleaning it. Then you end up transferring the oils from your face onto your powder, and that causes hardpan. If you scrape it off, make sure you're being careful about cleaning the sponge or brush that you're using to apply it =)

Thanks for your responses. I'll be sure to keep my sponge cleaner. I invested in some blotting tissues so hopefully this will help.
