I don't know, unless your complexion is shot, I'd stay away from foundation, its very hard to use properly at first at its way to easy to look like a clown or worse. And not many women wear heavy foundation, many use it in spots and also use conceilers.
Easiest to use, mascara, don't go heavy for day use.
Second easiest to use, eyeliner, don't go to dark, darker above
than below (below can be omited for day use).
Third easiest to use is lipstick, but for day use to go to bold,
with dark skin, the darker the lipstick you can use.
Eyeliner and mascara is the essential for me.
