I use:
*MUFE Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream (waterproof) on my blemish areas (chin and a couple of spots on my forehead)
*Smashbox CC Cream as my foundation/primer
*MUFE Pro-Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation to set
*NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo
*Bare Minerals Stroke of Light Eye Brightener (under eyes only)
*Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original
*Urban Decay Naked Basics eye shadow palette
*Bobbi Brown gel liner
*DiorShow mascara
*Kat Von D Foiled Love lipstick in F.T.W.
*Too Faced Extreme Lip Injection gloss
Anyway, my face gets these laugh lines (and a crinkle in my forehead) very shortly into my day.
My BIGGEST peeve though, is the CAKING!! How do I stop it??! I feel like my face is producing way too much oil which is creating this cakey effect.
:( I'm so sad because in the AM before in leave the house I am so confident and I'm all "I'm a fierce B!! YEAH HEAR ME ROAR!!" And then by the end of the day I feel like "OMG don't look at me!"

Maybe to set your foundation, use a powder that doesn't apply any color, just sets it off. I'd reccomend the true match by Loreal or the Revlon naked skin one. Adding moisturizer to your foundation can also cut down the heaviness of the product which can sometimes cause caking as well!

Also, finding a good setting spray will help. and perhaps you need to find a different foundation. just because it looks good on other people doesn't mean it will look good on you (if only it was that easy :( ) the MUFE foundation look great on lots of people, but looks just terrible on me.

This sounds bizarre but it works for me, I use a very thin layer of talcum powder, I find it sets smoother than powder instead of sticking to the foundation making me look patchy. Not for everyone, but I hope it helps :)

How do you guys know when a spray is better than a powder or vice-versa?

I use Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray and it's fantastic! I also own NARS light reflecting setting powder. While I like both for different reasons, I'd say the spray just holds up for much longer than the setting powder

Try stippling your foundation instead.
