Basically, if it starts off cheap, try to stay away from it. (Although, there's a few Dollar Tree brands that have actually turned out ok. ELF eyeliners are actually pretty good if you can find them. For a dollar, hell yeah.) Shop sales rather than base price. Don't jump into the liquid eyeliners right away, the stick liners are easier to use. Try to get the traditional pencil rather than the kind you screw up as you go. They're cleaner since you discard any lingering germs when you sharpen the pencil, and as far as I've experienced, they have a much better track record. If you're uncomfortable applying the makeup so close to your eye, start with applying under your eyelash line and working up to above it as you're applying. The line will be thicker, but you can take a tissue and wipe off any excess off the bottom of the line below your lash you don't want. I remember trying to apply eyeliner for the first time. I was so scared I was going to jab my eye out. lol

As for skin products, like concealer and what-not, you'll probably want to stick to just powder for a bit, since it'll feel super weird to suddenly have a lot of product on your face. I had this random organic brand I really liked from Big Lots I randomly found, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. Oh well. Any loose powder of moderate price that comes with an applicator brush should be fine. Worry about the other million things that go on your skin later. You'll get the hang of it better when you learn each product slowly.

You're welcome. Save that liquid liner for when you get a handle on the traditional pencil. You'll get the hang of it. :)
