wow you have a great collection here.

I think you have all the basics that you need for a perfect face

only suggestion I have for you is to get some highlighters, contour color and blushers. they honestly brighten up a face

just what you might be looking for.

add some Fix +, I guarantee you will love it!!!

really nice start

I would recommend:

a couple of blushes
a matte bronzer (for contouring) and a slightly shimmery bronzer
a highlight or luminizer
Fix +
eyelash curler
more paint pots or shadesticks
a pink and a nude lipstick

BTW I think your collection is pretty awesome already - it sure makes me wish that I had more brushes.

Great to see another newbie who has a fair amount of brushes in comparison to the rest of their collection. Brushes were the first MAC items i purchased

I'd also definitely rec' some blush, i couldn't live without blush. Easily my favourite make up product

I do agree I should find some blush and highlighter products. I'm unsure how to go about it because my cheeks are naturally extremely flushed red; in high contrast to my really fair pale skin. Even concealer and foundation can't cover it! It doesn't really look bad to me, but MA's are constantly trying to cover it up for me. LOL!!

Thanks for your input! I do appreciate it
