I'd say get a mascara, an eyeliner in dark brown (unless you've got really dark skin, then you can bump up to black), something for your skin, a lip stain, and a lip balm or gloss.

If you're hair's anything lighter than really dark brown, I suggest brownish-black mascara. If it's darker, black. Covergirl's normal mascaras and L'Oreal's 8h stuff are both really good. Waterproof is suggested if you wear contacts. That doesn't mean you should sleep in it, though. If you do you're a shithead.

The same colours rules should apply to eyeliner. Also, depending on how soft the eyeliner is, you can use it to fill in your brows if they need it. Once you get comfortable with the basics you can try some different colours. Covergirl, once again, makes some pretty decent ones. The first one is softer and easy to blend/smudge, and the second is harder, better for doubling on brows, and less likely to smear.

The skin products are the most personalized ones. Depedning on your skin colours and type, you may or may not like these. The first is a Covergirl pressed powder foundation, and it's kinda exactly what it sounds like. It's a cake of powder, and its lighter and drier than the rest? Some people like them, I don't personally. The next is a Maybelline BB Cream. Doesn't really have the actual BB Cream benefits, but it's light and feels nice on your skin. Doesn't come in very many colours. The next is a Clinique BB cream. Probably closer to an actual BB Cream, and I've heard good things about it, but never actually tried it. Last but not least, Covergirl foundation. Simple, medium coverage and buildable. Not too heavy or greasy.
