Apply your foundation with your fingers (wash your hands first though so you don't get any dirt in your pores:] ) and blend in evenly that should help

Dear Lexie,

due to the formulation of the maybelline dream matte mousse, it is best you apply it on your face with fingers.

Could be two reasons why does your foundation look cakey.

1) Your skin is not properly primed before makeup is applied. If your skin is not slightly moisten before the application of a MATTE finish makeup and if your skin is not naturally very oily, the foundation dries up on your skin too quickly as the volatile silicone in the mousse evaporates off.

This rapid drying up means that the foundation do not move as smoothly. Hence the powdery look.

2) Application of the foundation by using a sponge is possible, but because your hands action is not fast enough, there is a built up on the sponge before you finish your makeup.

I would suggest to use your fingers (wash them before hand tho), and apply the foundation part by part to allow smoother application. (Check out my link http://makeupbanter.blogspot.com/2008/06... on how to apply foundation by separating your face into 3 portions).

Check my blogspot about how to apply foundation. It has a step by step basic in graphics on the how to.
