When I first apply my powder after applying my other products (which are listed below) my face looks really nice and not cakey. But throughout the days my face starts to look cakey. Why is this and what can I do to make it stop? Does it have to do with the products I use?

Products I use are:
Proactive Green Tea Moisturizer
Revlon Colorstay (combination/oily)
Maybeline Coverstick concealer
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Revlon colorstay is a very thick fdtn that can cake easily. Use a damp sponge to apply it, using fingers can be too cakey and uneven.

Also, Revlon Colorstay dries to quite a matte finish so adding powder will make it worse. Try a setting spray. :)

I'd probably just pat your face down with a cloth or something.

Try using a good primer that helps adhere your makeup. Rimmel London has a few, which are decent. Try using a foundation brush to apply your foundation. Make sure you're in a natural lighting as well so you know that it's all blended.

Pick a thinner foundation, the Revlon Colorstay is naturally thick and tends to cake up

Your foundation is too thick or it's not sticking because you're not using a primer. Either of these reasons can cause it to cake.

Try a primer or set it with fix+ or nyx dewy setting spray. You can also try a translucent powder. Or just switch foundations haha.

I'd say it's because Revlon colorstay, and Rimmel stay matte are VERY thick products. I'd say choose a lighter foundation and/or powder😊

It's counter acting with one of your products,it's not the thickness of foundation at all.Revlon color stay combo foundation doesn't really stay matte through the day especially if you have really bad oily skin even if it's mean't to help defeat it sometimes your skin is fighting against all the products which makes it act up more it's like having a bag over your head and your trying to breath well that's what your skin is doing and you have to make sure your products have similar ingredients.You may just need a pure matte foundation for your most oily active areas and a water base oil free foundation.I also think you need a Anti shine face primer now not just any primer make sure it says Anti shine on it.I also like to point out if your oily don't use any dewy spray like fix from mac that's a dewy finish that truly defeats the purpose of your issue. ok so make sure all products share similar matte finish :)
