Okay... Now that north western Canada has finally warmed up... I've been having a problem with cakey foundation. I've tried BB creams, but my skin oxidizes them too much. I've tried making my own with oil free moisturizer and foundation, but it still cakes up.. Any suggestions? I had an oily t-zone, and dry patches on my cheeks (which have started to clear up)

Do you powder your skin after applying your foundation? If so, a good idea is to wait a few minutes before powdering as that allows the foundation to set. A setting spray(or something like MAC's fix+) might also be a good idea, it does wonders for me! :)

Jaka, I apply my foundation, do my eyes or my hair, then go in with a buffer brush and smooth it out, then apply powder. I use Mac mineralized skin finish
