My foundation has come out really cakey and powdery looking (I use liquid foundation). I don't do anything different in my routine, I wash, moisturize,and prime before foundation, and I use brushes not my hands or sponges. And it's not because my foundation is getting old I actually bought a new bottle two days ago. Does anyone have any tips to help!?!?

Dot a little bit on your skin and rub it in with your finger tips.

Don't use your hands... keep going with the brushes but try using less... also, do you use a primer?

It's Cover Girl Clean oil control, and I've been using this brand for a long time and nothing has changed.

If you want to continue using your liquid foundation try using a beauty blender egg to apply it with. goes on flawless and doesn't look cakey. if you want to continue using your brushes mix your foundation in the back of your hand with finishing spray then apply with a damp open bristle brush. hope that helped.

If you wanna get a beauty blender sponge definitely check out your tj maxx! They have some at mine for whyy cheaper than a beauty store.

If I can't use a setting spray can I just use water?

I blended it over sections of my face and it came out better! Thanks Jaqueline!

If you start seeing the cakes look again. You should really try Kat Von d. My favorite of all times. Full coverage, no cakieness. & pretty affordable. You can find it at sephora.
