Powder only where you need it. I used to powder my whole face and then wonder why dry areas looked crusty. Now I powder the T-zone and leave cheeks alone.
How do you stop foundation from looking cakey by the afternoon?

My foundation looks okay when I leave the house, but later it settles around my nose and dry spots. I don’t know if it is skin prep, powder or the foundation.

Let moisturizer and sunscreen settle before applying foundation. If I rush, everything slides and separates. Five extra minutes changed my makeup more than a new foundation.
Use less foundation than you think. Thin layers look more natural and wear better. I spot-conceal where needed instead of covering my whole face heavily.
