So almost E V E R Y. Foundation I apply it seems to look dry and patchy on me! Especially around my mouth! I've had Revelon Colorstay and MAC Studio Fix Fluid. I can never seem to get a fresh flawless look! I have normal skin I wash my face 2 times a day, I exfoliate. I apply deep cleansing masks. What seems to be my problem?!

Try mac's mineralize foundation.. studio fix is matte, better for oily skin and heavier coverage.. the mineralize one adds a glow to your face.

Do you put on a moisturizer or primer before you put it on? I have dry skin but when I don't moisturize and prime you can see the little dry patches on my cheek. But if I put on a moisturizer first or use MAC Fix+ spray, prime, then my foundation I'm good.

Yess try a primer for sure! It creates an even layer to start foundation on. Smashbox, Too Faced, and Rimmel have great ones.

I use the Hourglass Veil mineral primer and for moisturizer MAC stobe cream or the fix+ spray.

How often do you exfoliate? If you exfoliate more than 2 times a week, it's probably stripping your skin and causing patchiness. Other than that, I have no idea.
