Easy! A good concealer, foundation, powder(loose and pressed), blush and/or bronzer, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow and lipstick. I would recommend going to a nice counter and just have them try out colors on you so you know what to shop for when you purchase any of these things with color.

Everything Rikki said and for me I need a good creamy blush like an apricot due to being super pale & neutral eyeshadow.

A great set of brushes was my first investment when I really started playing with make-up. Followed by a great concealer, foundation and powder. Everything else just kinda followed after that (blushes, lipstick, eyeshadow).

1) Skincare! This is probably the most overlooked thing, IMO. Having a good canvas to work with is going to pay dividends, not to mention (also IMO) many problems people have with makeup have nothing to do with the makeup products they use, but are down to the lack of a good skincare routine that works for them. For you, it may be very simple -- cleanser, moisturizer, SPF. Or you may need to add things here and there (e.g., exfoliator to use every so often, a serum, toner).
2) Good brushes (especially eye brushes). They're going to make all the difference to how your makeup looks. You can start inexpensively (e.l.f.'s Studio brushes, Real Techniques, No7's brushes), but I also recommend splurging on a few MAC brushes (my picks are the 239 and 217) and Louise Young (LY14 and LY38).
3) Confidence! :) In fact, this is probably the most important thing, above anything else. *nods*
