What kind of makeup are you looking into?
Also, there's a lot of brushes because someone along the way decided to make a brush for everything. I mean, I have a triangle brush. Wtf is that for? There's cheap brushes you can get at walmart that are good quality, such as ELF. The staples of brushes would be a concealer brush, a foundation brush (or sponge), and eyeshadow brushes.

For a lightweight foundation I really like Urban Decay's naked. It isn't cakey or noticeable, while still making your skin look wonderful and feel like nothing.
Depending on your price range, starting with a basic pallet would be the best. Naked by Urban Decay is pretty good with having neutrals with a few different colors (gold, gun metal, black) if you're into that. Maybelline has a pretty close version of that and those shadows are pretty pigmented.
Mascara-wise, I've heard that Too Faced's "better than sex" mascara is really amazing. Wet n' Wild currently is my favorite with just a cheap volume mascara.
Liner is based off what you'd be most comfortable with. If you like gel, MAC makes a really great liner, you'd need a small angled brush though. Liquid, Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner is the easiest to work with because of it's small tip. Drugstore liner, I like Femme Coutre's eyeliner. It's sold at sally's for like $6. They're both waterproof and easy to work with. I haven't used a pencil ever but most pencils are the same.
Blush-wise, too faced makes an amazing blush called "Love Flush". NYX is also a pretty good drugstore brand that has everything you've listed, as well as a blush/contour duo that would cover mostly everything.
Oh! If you're into concealers to cover up red spots or anything, Nars makes a great concealer.
Also, I prefer a sponge. Just damp a beauty sponge, dab it into the foundation, and bounce it on your face. It makes it look more natural and feels a lot lighter than a brush.
