Honestly, your fingers are really great tools in regards to things like blending and application. Don’t let people tell you that you need a dozen brushes to be able to do a make up application well. That said, if I had to recommend the basics, I would say a large fluffy brush for powder, a couple of brushes for eyeshadow, and a brush for eyebrow powder. I think you’ll get away with four brushes.

Oh my god they did! They had a powder foundation that was just amazing.

Tinted moisturizer. A little bit of concealer under eyes. Mascara and lipgloss

Back in the 90s the brand matrix(the hair product people), had a make up line. The company discontinued the make up line in the early 2000s, but in the 90s they had some amazing nude lipsticks that I lived by when I was a teenager. I have tried in vein to find these products on eBay but literally nobody has barely heard of them much less selling old product.

Neither of those. They do not perform any better than your basic drugstore make up.
