Maybelline and Loreal are good drugstore brands. Use BB cream on your face its very light but covers up well.

Mascara, you just place it on the roots of your lashes or as close to it as you can and wiggle the brush to the tip of your lashes and continue to do that. This will get the product on the lashes creating longer and thicker lashes

BB cream is lighter than foundation. Which means you don't feel it on your skin and is more easy to blend and work with.

sponges should be damp but not wet for use. Just dot your foundation or bb cream on your face and bounce the sponge all over your face to blend everything out. Or you can use your clean fingers which will give you more coverage.

powder brush comes in a lot of uses. Such as powder blushes, face powders, bronzers and so on.

Lipglosses are a staple in a makeup kit. you can use It alone or over a lipstick to add shine and colour.

lipstains stain your lips for a certain amoubt of time but its not forever. it wears off during the day but doesn't have a shiny finish like the hlosses, making it seem more natural.

blushes add colour to your face giving you a healthy glow to your face making you look alive. ;)

concealers cover specific areas of your face that a bb cream or foundation can't cover. bb creams or foundations just even out your skin tone. concealers have more coverage for pimples or zits or under eye circles

Oh and Alicia, I have eczema too any if I just use moisturizer and makeup, my dry patches would show so you have to buy a silicone based primer. A primer is a barrier between your skin and foundatoon or bb cream. This not only helps you apply the foundation or bb creqm easier, but it will smooth out your skin even your dry patches but that's only if it has silicone in It. I recommend the smashbox hydrating primer. But that's expensive so a drugstore one would be the hard candy sheer envy primer in the white tube.

You should definitely try the maybelline bb cream, its really cool!
you can use colossal mascara by maybelline, a peachy blush and a soft pink lipstick. that's all you need! but if you want to try more things like a concealer, eye liner, and a basic eye shadow palette, choose maybelline, it's one of the favorite drugstore brands of all times! haha good luck.
