I didn't start wearing make up until my most recent boyfriend (3.5 years going). He loves makeup, hairspray, "slutty" clothes, etc. I never wore makeup until we started dating, and I used to dress really conservatively. Now that I actually wear makeup, I love Urban Decay foundation, NARS blush and lipstick, Clinique mascara, and Sephora eye liner. I just went to Sephora and had the ladies who worked there swarm me and suggest make up. I wouldn't know how to do makeup if it weren't for them. I was 27 when I started wearing makeup.
For face care, I Like Paula'a Choice and LifeCell, both have retinol and neither use Parabens (carcinogens) in their products. I have sensitive skin and if I use anything other than coconut oil or water to wash my face I break out, and none of the above brands give me blemishes.

I wash my face only with warm water on a wash cloth, no soap, and a few times a week use an exfoliating gel I get from Paula's Choice which really reduces the size of my pores. When my face is clean I use coconut oil just like I would any other moisturizer. It feels oily at first but sinks in quickly (don't use too much!). It's one of the few things that doesn't cause me to brake out. I got my sister into it, and pretty much everyone I know who wanted an alternative to moisterizers.
Lately I've been alternating coconut oil with a daytime retinol cream (I'm not getting any younger!)
Edit: When I mentioned washing my face with the coconut oil, I use it on a wash cloth as a makeup remover. It takes everything off, including mascara, no problem.
