I'm not that "girly" either but here is my input. Since you leave your hair down, I'm assuming you don't have crazy poofy hair like I do so I would suggest getting a haircut with layers and side bangs. Easy and pretty. Get a good straightening iron and wear it straight or use the iron to flip the ends out. You could also find a lightweight hair serum (like frizz-ease), work it through hair and let it air dry for some natural waves. Yes bobby pins are always good. You could pull back one side with a few pins and instantly look a little more polished. Pick up some pins with a little sparkle or color for an extra treat. As for makeup, you will need tinted moisturizer, loose powder, powder brush, blush, blush brush, eyeshadow (find a good pallet), eyeshadow brush, eyeliner (I use this applied with a wet liner brush but pencil is easier), liner brush (optional), mascara, chap stick (burts bees is awesome), lip color (this and this very sheer and pretty). I have this brush set and I love it. Throw in some nice fragrance oil like this and you are set up with the basics!
Was just about to post this here too! I got this as a gift for my birthday this year from my SIL it and it is a great neutral palette. I personally love the blue colour.

I do set mine! Highest is usually means I would give an arm of a leg for it and high is something I really want, but not willing to give up a body part.
My top five:
A girl can only dream...
I also added the Lorac Pro Red Carpet kit which bought my total inc shipping up to about $65. Looks like great value!

Most of my stuff is high-end. Probably not terribly wallet friendly for someone just starting out and trying to figure out what you like...But when you factor in I've been using makeup for (cringe) 26 years and my skin can be incredibly picky...
Invest in the stuff that is closest to your skin...like your foundation. I have not yet tried the Korean BBs but I hear great things about them and the prices seem incredibly easy on the wallet. /u/Feeling_Pretty is our resident expert. I'm just scared to get into them because I can never find swatches online and I'm insanely pale.
I'm personally a fan of the Smashbox BB because my skin doesn't always get along with stuff that already has SPF in it and this one doesn't seem to bother it.
I also love Smashbox Limitless Eyeliner because it wears really well on me - I have issues with eyeliner evaporating by the end of the day. Not the best for travel because of the built-in sharpener (I lost one to the TSA because of that teeny-tiny blade and it made me sad) so plan to chuck it in your checked luggage or have a sub when you travel.
Mascara - go drugstore. I'm using a Stila one right now because I lucked into the Beauty Brands Mascara Sale earlier this year and bought a couple for $9 each - slightly more than I would have paid for a Covergirl or a Maybelline (they usually run $7-$8 where I live). Since you should religiously change your mascara every three months drugstore is better on the wallet.
As for eyeshadow...I can personally vouch for the Lorac Pro and the Stila in the Light palette. Both have good pigmentation and wear beautifully (I do use a primer due to oily lids) and have enough variety in them I can do lots of looks with them. The bonus on the Stila is you also get a coordinating eyeliner.
You can also shop eBay for sample lots. Most of the time it's folks that have amassed a bunch of samples and want to get rid of them. Great way to sample lots of stuff at once - but do look at the seller's feedback rating and read the reviews left in the past six months.
If you're at all comfortable and have one nearby you can't beat a trip to Ulta or Sephora to try stuff out.
I'd love to try In The Light
