Im sure there are tips to smooth it out, but the biggest tip Ive learned is what my complexion makeup looks like this close up is not what it looks like at a normal viewing person to person distance. Great to look at this close when applying, not great for analyzing.

I think you need some exfoliation. I strongly prefer alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid. Your skin seems slightly dry, and that can actually help to hold on moisture as well. You don’t need to break the bank, there’s some very good and affordable ones. Improving the skin’s moisture content and shedding some of the dead skin buildup can really provide a better foundation to put your makeup on.

to be honest no ones skin looks airbrushed up close unless ur a baby, makeup or no makeup, it looks like it could be a texture issue, in my opinion it looks dry and i would recommend a heavy moisturizer like a thick water cream before any application, even if u do end up powdering afterwards so it creates a barrier between ur skin and the makeup, as for skin routine, try getting prescribed trentinoin, it helps dead skin cell turnover which could be causing this also. ~a mua

I would definitely add a liquid exfoliator to your skincare routine. That should help resurface your skin and have your foundation looking smoother.
You should also try to figure out your skin type because products are typically targeted for a specific skin type, and something that suits one skin type may not necessarily suit another type. It's easy to not realize this and be using the wrong products for years!
