I have tried many different foundations, but none of them seems to fit me. It always ends up looking cakey and not even. None of them blends well with my face. Any tips on how to fix that problem?

Do you use a brush or primer?

Are you allowing time for your skincare to sink into the skin before applying your makeup and do you have a proper skincare routine? Also make sure you're applying thin layers of foundation and let the layers set before applying another layer.

It may just be the way you apply it, a damp sponge will give you a more flawless finish because it absorbs a lot of the product. I personally use a flat top kabuki because it give me a full coverage finish which I need. Spraying your brush with fix+ will help dilute it a bit. How do you apply you regularly apply your foundation?

You should try RCMA, their foundation looks like skin.

My 2 tips are to firstly moisturise before you apply makeup and then apply a primer all over your face (I use the Benefit POREpessional)

I agree with the girls above, it sounds like it could be an application issue. After you moisturise your face thoroughly, I would suggest applying the foundation with a face brush (Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and the Stippling Brush work well in my opinion) or a beauty blender. Also be sure to take into account how much makeup you're applying; start off applying just a bit, and gradually add more as needed. For foundation recommendations: what is your skin type and how much coverage are you looking for?
