I am in dire need of your tips and guidance on how to apply makeup properly and flawlessly, with special attention to not making my face look cakey or powdery.

I am in love with applying my foundation with a Kabuki brush. I love it :) Or if I'm lazy I apply it with my fingers and blend it in with the Kabuki brush

Hi Pari G.
Bluerose B. Has given you a great application technique. There are a few others that you can try, just incase it may not work as well as you want. Everyones skin is different ( thank goodness) and different options is always a plus. I will break them down step by step.
After cleansing and toning;
1. Apply a small (pearl size) amount of primer to entire face. Let that set into your skin 5-10 mins.
2. With a damp sponge dab onto skin starting at the nose area and dab outward to neck and hair line. Then take your kabuki or flat top stipple brush and work into the skin using small circular motions until blended well.
3. Take your sponge and roll on your face in soft up and down motions.
4. Take a flat or angled foundation brush and take long soft strokes in down strokes toward your neck ( this smooths any facial hair) for a flawless look.
5. Set foundation with a puff and setting powder, pressing the powder puff against entire face.
Then finish your look.
You are a beautiful girl, keep you head up.
Try new things until you find what helps.

I recommend spraying a mist of water on your face before applying your makeup. :) it gives a nice finish

So far I've gotten a flawless finish with a stippling brush (ELF full sized or Real Techniques), a kabuki brush or a damp beauty blender. Also be careful how much foundation you use. I like to use a dime size warm it on my hand with either a flat foundation brush or beauty blender.
