So Ive Been Using The Revlon ColorStay Foundation, It's Really Good At Hiding My Acne But I Don't Want It To Look So Cakey. And It Drys Really Fast So It's Hard To Blend. Is There Any Advice You Ladies Can Give Me To Help It Not Look So Cakey?

You could try applying it in sections. Like separate your face in half or quarters and do each section one at a time, those will help you beat the drying time. You could also try mixing a little moisturizer in with the foundation. Also, you could try a setting spray after your done your makeup.

Do you use a foundation primer first? I apply my Revlon Colorstay with Sonia K's blending sponge, and if I DON'T use a primer (lazy days or in a rush) after a couple hours my face starts to get cakey, if I DO my foundation still looks great at the end of the day!

I use monistat chafing gel and ELF's primer at the moment. But I am looking to switch to one that will help reduce redness. And if you have acne prone skin get a primer that doesn't have any silicones in it, nothing ending in -cone!

Thin it down with a tiny bit of moisturizer or if you're applying with a brush, spray some fix+ or setting spray on the brush first, and then dip it into a small amount of foundation to apply in sections.  =)
