I'm now a big fan of rimmel foundation after trying a lot of diffferent brands. Covers well without looking pasty and made in a ton of shades so you should be able to find something that matches your skin tone. I think they call it 25 hour or something, it really does last a long time and doesn't rub off at all, but cleans off easily with soap and water. Blush and loose powder over it. For facial moisturizer, I've tried a bunch and avon has some products that don't make me break out and soften my skin and give it some volume. "plumping "facial skin helps soften your face. moisturize before foundation make it go on much nicer. Almay is my fave for pencils and eye shadow and that two part mabeline mascara (NOT waterproof!) works good, I use the "volume" one. Other than that a thin line of liquid brush on eyeliner, that's my daily morning makeup regime. Takes me about 10-15 minutes to deal with, which is about 1/10 the time it took when I first started trying to wear makeup.
IMHO the eyes/brows are the hardest part to work out as everyone's are so different but can make a bit difference if your appearance. Any "tricks" you can do to open your eyes up and make them look larger helps a ton. Beady eyed women are not cute 😛
For skin care I use clinique facial scrub a few times a week and a clay mask type product on my T zone to try to deal with gunky pores. Garnier has some nice skin care products too, I love their makeup remover wipes. Get's it off, even mascara without a fuss. Found a shade of loreal lipstick I like and seems to last pretty well. In my purse I carry a powder/mirror and lipstick along with a small tube of foundation/eye pencil for touch ups. It's not nearly the headache to look nice as I envisioned before I went full time. With practice it's no big deal at all.
