I agree with all the previous posts about first making sure to take care of your skin with facial wash, moisturizers AND a great primer before applying any make-up to your skin! The primer will help the make-up last longer and give it a more natural look. I am not going to lie..but I LOVE make-up...I don't wear it all the time but I have tons of it (I have a cosmetology license ;) ) Anyway, to answer your question the one brand of make-up that I recommend to EVERY woman that is a MUST need is BareMineral make-up. It's very light, refreshing, doesn't gunk up, and lasts all day. They have the kits that you can buy from the actual store, Ulta, Sephora, etc. The kits are about 45-60 dollars and it comes with about 10 products (that last for months!) in it including brushes!! (Foundation, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss, primer, mineral veil to seal your make-up, and all the brushes!) WITH a DVD on how to apply it all. Yes, I know with the DVD makes it sound like it may be a lot of work but trust me it is not!!! Once you watch it and apply it the first time you will be able to handle it from then on AND you will recieve so many compliments on how natural your make-up looks. I hope this helps!!! Good Luck!! :)
