I put on my primer, then bb cream, then concealer then powder and my face looks very Cakey, even after I set it with setting spray. How do I make it look natural?

Primer used: Revlon Color Stay
Bb Cream: Loreal
Concealer: NYX concealer jar
Powder: MAC
Setting spray: MAC

I don't know what I'm doing wrong! ):

I feel ya! That happens to me too, but since I began using a beauty blender its been a lot better. I think the beauty blender soaks up a lot of product so its kinda hard to apply too much if that makes sense? I've heard a plain old makeup sponge with a bit of water works just as well:)

A lot of times I spray , I have an old UD setting spray bottle I filled with some rose water, and I spray my face after I've done my face makeup to make it look more Dewey and to diminish the powdery effect. Hope this helps!

Maybe you're putting on too much of each product. I'd suggest putting on the bb cream lightly and concealing any spots that still show. Also use only a small amount of powder, don't pack it on. And exfoliation could also reduce the look of cakeyness.

Yep use a beauty blender or a dupe. It totally changed my foundation.
