when applying my foundation i always add a little bit of moisturiser to it . this helps make sure your skin doesn't dry out and also stoos a cakey look.
when applying foundation DO NOT apply straight form the bottle on the face!! This a common mistake made by alot of ppl, by doing this it will most likely result in adding too much unnecessary product to your face giving a extremely cakey look. insted apply foundation to the back of your hand or a mixing pallate and apply with a brush or sponge and build upto your desireef coverage.
