So I hope this is seen and answered, I find when I post at this time it is normally not answered because maybe it's not seen, but I don't want to forget to post it. Anyways, this is kind of a double meaning as I've recently begun a walking and running daily routine and because I get overheated and sweat easily, I was wondering if you ladies had any product recommendation that would help me not have to redo my full face as sometimes I don't have time to redo my makeup( I do still shower for clarification, just don't wash my face ha) I use a liquid foundation and for some reason have always felt weird about layering liquid for touch ups. However, I also have not found a good powder that doesn't make my oily face feel cakey. So to conclude the longest post on the site, are there any products you recommend?

Well if its at all a posibility I would say don't wear makeup while running - your skin really needs to breath while sweating.
And about powder I very much like the Rimmel Stay matte powder, it should keep you oli free without feeling cakey :)

Thank you! I do try to go makeup free whenever possible, however sometimes I just feel the need and get up and go, but I don't have time to redo a whole face before work or school. As for the powder your word was the final straw! I've seen so many recommendations for it I'm going to pick it up tomorrow! Is it considered a finishing or setting powder? Or are those the same thing, I've heard some ladies say different and some say the same.

I use it as a setting powder :) I don't really have oily skin, but I love the powder so much so I just use a tiny bit :)

I sometimes go to the gym later on in the day and usually I'll have some makeup on because I've been out running errands, etc. Definitely use a primer to create a barrier between your skin and your makeup. I have oily skin and I use Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. For my foundation I use Makeup Foever Mat Velvet + I find this foundation lasts all day without slipping off my face or feeling cakey. If I know I'm going to the gym I usually just apply a thin layer of the foundation. This foundation can be medium to full coverage but you can easily apply a very small amount for a light coverage. After I work out I usually just wash my face a bit with a damp towel and put another thin layer of the foundation on and it looks perfect. Sometimes I don't even have to put another layer on. For a setting powder I use Marcelle Pressed Powder, it isn't cakey and it keeps you shine free. I've used the Rimmel Stay Matte and for me personally I was very shiny after an hour of using it. Also check out Pur Minerals 4 in 1 Pressed Powder. It creates a bit more coverage than a traditional powder which might be a great alternative if you want to try not wearing liquid foundation.
