I am looking for similar answers too becos I have a wedding to attend to in Dec but these are my recommendations currently –
Foundation(longwear,non oxidizing,matte,natural,photographs really well) – MAC prolongwear or Clinique Superbalanced
2.concealor for both darkcircles n blemishes – MAC prolongwear or Kryolan TV paint stick (doubles up as a concealer too)
3.primer – recently bough the Kryolan one but the MAC prep+prime is quite impressive too
4.compact/pressed powder – MAC skin mineralize
5.blush – I like the body Shop one. But a bronzer or a loose powder in a slightly draker color will work just as well. You also have many other options in lesser expensive brabds like Coloressence.
6.water proof eye liner and mascara(budget brands) – Maybelline colossal kajal and Maybelline gel eyeliner but both black. For Mascara again maybelline is good. i bought the lakme Eyeconic today which is 199 bucks so thats worth considering too.
7.matte moisturizer – I would suggest Olay cos thats what works for my normal to combinatin skin
8.makeup brushes – MAC I have heard is wonderful but if you are looking for cheaper brands then Vega will work well too. maybe you can add to your collection once you are a pro at using brushes.
you havent asked for eyeshadows but giving my 2 cents bit – i recently purchased the Maybelline 24 hours color tattoo eyeshdow and it did stay for a good 5 to 6 hours. i bought the grey one but they have other colors too which are worth looking into.
hope this helps.
