Also depending on your eye color preferences... or whether you wear makeup ED & your foundation color before I could give a detailed opinion but I would say just in general you need carbon, espresso, brown script, all that glitters, shroom, ricepaper e/s, angel, myth, c-thru, all the viva glam for lips, 80% l/l, smolder e/l, stark naked, dollymix, trace gold, pinch me and sunbasque for cheeks, zoomlash mascara in black.

Carbon eyeshadow. Bronze too. Dollymix blush.
The most useful brushes IMO:
187 (sheer even application of foundation, liquid or powder)
188 for cream blushes (I prefer Bobbi Brown's blushes)
168 for contouring or blush
239 for packing on color
224 for blending
219 for crease defining/placement as well as smudging out eyeliner
217 to use with paint pots or cream eyeshadows
I prefer to do eyeliner with a Smashbox bent eyeliner brush.

Foundation + Powder
A neutral Lipstick similar to your own lips
A highlighting eye shadow (can be used on sheeks and other areas of the face, not just brow bone)
A light brown shadow for lid
A darker brown shadow for crease
Plush Lash mascara (its great)
Hope you find this useful : ]

1. Blushbaby blush
2. Vanilla Pigment
3. Pro Lash Mascara
4. Studio Fix Fluid (more coverage) Studio Select (less coverage) foundation
5. 187 brush
6. Clear Lipglass
7. Feline e/p (if you can find it), Teddy for more natural look
8. Painterly paint pot
9. Russian Red l/s
I think that this will suit anyone, but if you have some personal preferences (you like more bights, more naturals....) you should check out the store.
