Did you definitely measure your head right? It''s hard to explain how tight is too tight but you want it tight, it needs to be a relatively tight fit to keep you safe as your head shouldn't be able to move inside the helmet in the event of a crash.
My LS1 helmet is definitely the right size but motorcycle helmets always feel close to your mouth, I can just touch my top lip against the mouth piece if I really push it out and I know my nose is close to the nose bit. If you have worn BMX or motocross full face lids then the mouth piece is usually further away as you are likely to be working harder so need more air through the mouth guard but also slower speeds so the helmet can be a little less strong by having a more protruding mouth piece.
