Please note that the larger eyes one says "lighter liner". A dark liner would make eyes appear smaller rather than larger.

A good place to start is mascara. Lots of people want different things from mascaras so it's hard to recommend one because one person's favourite mascara can be another person's least favourite. A good beginner one is Maybelline's Great Lash. I recommend getting the waterproof version because I find the normal one flakes like crazy on me. Once you're gotten used to applying it and just how it generally looks, take a look at your eyelashes and ask yourself what you want them to look like. Would you prefer them longer? Thicker? More curled? Then look for products that do what you need. I personally never buy a product without reading reviews on it, but keep in mind that, like I said, people's preferences differ.

Other easy-ish, beginner-tier makeup is eyeliner. Start off with a pencil, it's easiest to apply, and remember to take into account your eyeshape when you apply it. There are plenty of resources online to help you with that, pic related is one such resource. Once you've mastered pencil, try a liquid or a gel for a bolder look, gel is easier to apply than liquid. As for colours, I believe you should have at least a black and a brown, and possibly a navy as navy is almost universally flattering. Other colours will depend on your eye colour.

For the lips, I usually just wear clear lip balm, or a lip tint and lip balm. Lip tints are great because the colour can usually be built, and you don't have to keep reapplying which is easy to forget to do when you're not used to wearing makeup.

The easiest way to learn is to just play around, and remember that google is your friend.
