I really like the lips. I think before you invest in lots of MAC makeup, buy one or two eye brushes because those can make the application of your non MAC makeup better. 239 is great for the lid and brow highlight, also with paints. 217 would really help with blending, it fits perfectly into your crease so you can just swish it back and forth. Also maybe try bringing some of the darker colour (black in this case) onto your outer lid like a V.
