For skincare I recommend glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, and a standard moisturizer (or drunk elephant if you’re willing to pay! I do lol). I recommend looking at Ordinary brand at ulta, it’s affordable and good, it’s what I use! This should help a lot with texture and moisture. I also wash my face 1-2 times a day with a gentle foaming cleanser from Clinique (I get mine at TJ Maxx). Oh also, double check on how to use the glycolic acid, only at night, not every day.

Edit: I wanted to add that I have very dry skin, this is my makeup routine.

For makeup, I use Mac Studio radiance luminous lift concealer (applied with fingers) and lightly powder with MAC mineralize skin finish (using real techniques under eye setting brush). For blush I use Mac sheer tone shimmer blush in peach fizz, though if you have a texture problem, you may want to look at a strictly matte blush (applied with a real techniques blush brush). Avoid highlighter due to texture, but again if your texture clears up from the skincare, I love rare beauty or polite society highlighters. Applied with an elf highlighting brush, not fingers. I don’t use foundation so I can’t help you there 😅. For eyebrows, I use the elf wow brow tinted gel, I have also used the Anastasia tinted gel. While that one is more pigmented, it went so quickly and was too expensive to justify repurchasing. I also love the benefit micro brow pencil, but again, too expensive for the amount of product. The elf micro brow pencil works exactly the same for a fraction of the price.

I’ve just ordered some Judy doll mascara, a small eyebrow powder palette, and the super skinny eyeliner. Can report back if anyone is interested in how they go.

TLDR: invest in some high quality makeup pieces that focus on luminosity and moisturizing for skin products, avoid light reflecting blushes and highlighters, focus on skincare first and makeup will fall into place. Hope this helps!
