A few tips:
If you like cream blush, don't waste your money in buying one. use your lipstick! Mix it with a bit of highlighter (the elf highlightter in lemonade work awesome even if you use it alone!). I love using lipstick because it gives me more color and pigment and stay on longer.
My favourite all-purpose cosmetic is Avon Liptints in Wine. It goes on (apply lightly) your lips like red cherry. Use it on your cheek and there is a very healthy glow. It looks so natural!!!! I use it after coming out of swim practice. Amazing!!!!
You can make your own shimmery lipbalm by using Vaseline and some pink eyeshadow!!!
Best bronzer? From Jane. I have the powder bronzer from Jane for fair skin. Look so good!!! No one can tells!!!
Milani liquidlipstick can work very good at eyeshadow. I have Glam. It gives a beautiful shimmery that stays for a whole day. Want more pigment? After apply a thin coat, dust on eyeshadow.
Almay smartshade foundation: no more guessing baby! (Love Almay line of face makeup)
Concealer: pick one that you can mix to match your tone (like one from Revlon) but I recommend you to go to department store for it. Concealer is like a bikini. We don't want to go wrong!
For gals who don't like putting on makeup. Use the Retroactive Skin optimizer from Avon. I use this when I don't want to put on any powder.
Anyway, because I'm in swim practice so I can't possibly drag my whole makeup table with me. Here is what I recommend you need to look pretty after a workout and a shower at the gym: lotion -duh

-, lip balm, an all purpose cosmetic (for both lip and cheek), concealer. There is no need for powder or foundation. But if you want to go eat something or shop, you can choose to pack an eyeliner (choose a doubleheaded one so you have one black and one in color in place of eyeshadow) the trick: line the colorliner on your fingertip then dab it on your eye for eyeshadow. Don't line your whole lid!
Finally, Maybelline limited addition of colordrama in Red Velvet is beautiful!!!!
