Cake face fix?

I wear liquid foundation, and I feel like when I'm in the sun specifically I have the WORST cake face ever. I started using a new foundation (smashbox) and its definitely a bit better but what can I do to avoid it? I definitely am not putting too much on or anything and I've read my fair share of beauty books and watches makeup tutorials and I can't figure it out. Does that happen to everyone?

Make sure you exfoliate about once a week, and make sure you keep your skin hydrated! Drink lots of water & moisturizer day and night. Also, using a beauty blender helps a lot! You still get good coverage but the layer of foundation on your face isn't as thick :)

FIX IT: Apply a dime-size dollop of a lightweight facial lotion to the back of your hand. Tap your ring finger into the moisturizer and dab it over the cakey areas to blend and smooth away those uneven patches.
PREVENT IT: Coat your face with makeup primer before putting on your foundation. "It creates an invisible barrier that makeup will adhere to more evenly,".You could also skip the foundation altogether, and just use concealer on the spots where you need the most coverage (under your eyes, along the sides of your nose or over blemishes).
