hello! im definitely NOT a makeup expert at alll... but for how to start you should def get the essentials first. stuff like primer (always the first thing u apply when putting on makeup so your skin will be smoother + easier to apply makeup), foundation (put on after primer to serve as the "base" for everything else), concealer (well... to conceal acne + dark spots) etc. once youre good with that, you can start experimenting with eyeliner, eyeshadow, contour... when i first got into makeup, i basically rushed to the nearest makeup store i knew and bought everything i knew id need lol!!
but yeah :P i will admit i dont put on super heavy makeup, but i hope this was of some help?? im sorry i couldnt provide any brands, its hard to recommend any when im not sure if itll even be available in your region :(
