I've been trying to find a new hobby lately and have been amazed by this subreddit and its contributors. I was inspired, so I went and bought some NYX brow cake and took a stab at doing my eyebrows. I kind of feel like I might need a cooler brown color (my hair is mousy/ashy brown).
This is what I bought:

Constructive criticism definitely welcome because I am clueless!
Edit: Thank you everyone for your critiques. Sounds like I need a trip to the store for some better color and tools.
I made a shopping list. Pick one substitute instead of a splurge and you come in under $250. The splurges I picked are well worth the cost, though. Note also that the chocolate bar palette is the only one I listed because it's pretty much the be-all-end-all of palettes for its simultaneous pops of flattering colors and neutrality. I also believe everyone should have a gorgeous red lippie. Enjoy!

Edit: Forgot eyebrows. Darn. Still can come under $250 with the right substitutions.
Someone just raved about Nyx's eyebrow cake powder :) I ordered mine and it hasn't arrived yet but I got it off of Amazon for only $6. They have a wide range of colors. I'd say you're maybe a brunette or a dark brown/brown? Linksy

From talking to you in chat I think you would benefit a bit from a run-through of everything (products, how they're used, informative videos), so I'll just do that:
MAKEUP FACE STUFF
Okay, now we're ready to move on to the things on your face:
YOUR EYEBROWS
Hi! This product is actually a brow mascara-- Basically you comb your brows with the product and it colors your brow hairs, makes them thicker, and gives them the appearance of being filled in.
My usual eyebrow routine is using an eyebrow brush and brow powder. I've been using the same one from NYX foreverrrrr, I hit pan awhile ago but I won't let myself buy a new brow product until I finish >.< My brow brush has a brush on one end and a comb on the other that I use for brushing the hairs.
Trying to make this as simple as possible: I grab powder with my brush and start at the middle of my brows, where it's the thickest, filling it in and slowly making my way to the front of the brow. I like powder because it looks natural and I don't do power brows. Sometimes I use a pencil to make my brows darker on the ends, but I don't find it completely necessary. I always end with clear brow gel, because my brow hairs are long and I don't want them to be pointing in all sorts of crazy directions.
Let me know if you have more questions!
Dude, using like four different eyebrow products has been a GAME CHANGER and LIFE SAVER for me. :) First I extend the length of my brow tails using this after brushing my brows with the spoolie. Then I fill in and shape the rest of my brows using this. Then I'll fill in any bare spots with this stuff. Finally my last step is securing those beasts with this!!!! I hope this helps. :)
Yes, as long as it's not shimmery. But this is what I use. Super cheap, works great. You can use the wax to set the powder and sort of mix the shades to get one that matches you.
I was at London Drugs (Canada) yesterday just browsing and the saleslady approached me so decided to talk to her. She said they had NYX brow kit. I looked at it and it looked pretty good and price was decent (8.99). Is it comparable to the E.L.F.? I may go back and get it. I read good reviews on MakeupAlley (Drugstore HG).

Thanks for the contest!
I have a few add on's on my lists: Face wipes, Lip Butter, Concealer, Brow Groomer. I think it is a $1 less than the $25 but I have my wishlist set for "2" of the wipes if that counts?. Codename Duchess. Thank you for the contest!
I love the lip color (it looks very natural), and it looks like you have near flawless skin!
I agree with keiramarie about the eyebrows--and I'd go for something that matches the darkest shade of your hair color. Also, have you considered lining your upper lids with dark eye shadow/angled eye shadow brush instead of with eyeliner? I think it would soften your face beautifully!
You have fair skin like me, and I recently sprang for the Beach Tint in "peach"---it works soooo well! If you're looking for a very natural flush, just dab a very very small amount on the tip of your finger and rub it into the apples of your cheeks, spreading it back and away, toward your hair. Any peachy blush would look great, though. Your skin is perfect for it
edit: you asked the other lady about suggestions for the eyebrow fillers and [here are some nice ones (check out the blonde one)] (http://www.amazon.com/NYX-Eyebrow-Cake-Powder-Brown/dp/B002QI2TPI/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397165188&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=eyebrow+powder)
