Hi Stevie-Anne, I agree with Curly - MAC makeup is by far the best. Super easy to use and not really that expensive and it lasts for ages and ages. If you do find a MAC store near to you (they have them in Myers and David Jones) then I would recommend a primer which will help with your lip and then studio fix powder. It is lovely.......and goes on really easily and has excellent coverage. I also use studio fix liquid, but if you aren't used to makeup I would stay with a powder because it's less messy and easier to use

Good Luck! Makeup is soooo much fun
