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.

You're welcome! Too Faced makes a lot of really great stuff, I'd check them out. Although, I've heard some pretty mixed reviews about their foundation. Their Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette smells like chocolate though so that's pretty cool. Good luck with all the makeup shopping! <3
