All my concealers make my face look cakey but I need something with really good coverage. Anyone have a really good kind I should try?

When you say cakey do you mean it makes your skin look dry? You may need to exfoliate before applying your makeup.

Yes it looks dry like almost like peeling looking. It just is so noticeable. I have a lot of dark around my nose like red and I use concealer to hide it but it just makes it look clumpy like dry and cakey.

The skin in that area is probably dry and the concealer your using probably doesn't work for dry skin

Tori I have the same problem and this is what I find to work.
Always exfoliate first if you can. ( Try a tbsp of brown sugar ( you can use white but brown yields better for me ) honey, and olive oil ( optional but adds extra softness. )
Dermablend's concealers work really well, especially on my dry spots.
I use natural oils and butters as my moisturizer, so I don't have any dry skin like I used to - just two dry spots because they're usually neglected until it comes to make up. So what I do is put on an excess ( like ALOT ) on those dry spots.
My primer ( Aloe Vera Gel ) is put on, and a bit extra is added to those dry spots again.

I've never actually had any dry skin on my face but I did someone's make up a couple days ago I made her go was her face with morning burst hydration and we made sure her face was completely dry I put some concealer and foundation on my Hand and mixed it together so that might work or it might be the brand.
