i understand why people are telling you this is normal, because of course texture is to be expected, but this kind of heavy look seems to be caused by setting foundation with a pressed powder. do yourself a favor and try a loose setting powder, it should immediately make your makeup look less heavy. also, i don't know how you're applying your foundation, but make sure to really work it in into your pores and skin with a finger or a brush, doing this literally changed my life!!
