i need more coverage than that
Not light as in light on coverage, I mean light as in colour. Maybelline has probably one of the lightest ones that I've found. It's a little too light even for me, and I'm fairly pasty in winter.
If you need extra coverage, like I said, use the stuff in the top of the foundation lid especially if you have full cover foundation i.e. not that lightweight shit. It's better because after it's been out of the bottle, so to speak, it thickens a little becoming more of a concealer than a liquid foundation.
Oh and concealer should never look cakey, especially if you only use a little bit. Always blend the edges and if it does seem a little off, just wipe the edges a bit and put some loose powder on the spot. If you're really worried about having the "made up" look, then dab a little moisturiser on it and it'll look like normal (provided it's blended). I do that with foundation when I wear it too.
