Ecotools since you are now starting,sigma is good they are comparable to mac,gel liners and some lipsticks..also have some brush cleaners,less bacteria is better for healthy skin.And primer or bb cream.

To start off I would say TONS of pallettes!
try Coastal Scents or BH Cosmetics:
-a colorful pallette
-a neutral palette
-a lip/cheek pallette
-a concealer pallette
and a translucent powder will cover all of your bases until you can start expanding.
and a primer, BH makes a great one.
also, lip and eyeliner which BH also makes really good ones.
then lots of disposables which is really where it starts getting expensive
-q-tips
-mascara wands
-spatulas
and hand sanitizer... always.

Ecotools and real techniques are both good brushes!

When it comes to brushes I am big fan of Real Techniques - they are suberb quality and have fantastic selection. I have full set and could not recommend them enough. My second choice would be EcoTools but not all of their brushes are full size and I find travel size hard to work with.
For more expensive brushes I would look at Royal & Langnickel.
When it comes to make up products I would start with
- mascara/s in 'normal' and waterproof
- eyeshadows - singles or palettes, which are better cost wise I think - for starters I would get one with neutral shades and one with more colorful selection for variety of looks
- foundation, tinded moisturiser or bb cream - depending what type of coverage you want/need
- concealer - again palette offers more options
- setting powder - like Carolyn I would also begin with transluscent and loose/compact to suit every look
- primers for face and eyes
- blush, if you would use one - you could also look at multitasking shadow/blush product
- eyeliner
- something for your lips be it lipstick or lipgloss.

There are some basics like baby wipes, tissue, water squirt bottle, hair clips to get hair out of the way to do makeup, tape, you know around the house stuff that is cheap and saves your butt a lot, cotton swabs, cotton pads, lemons believe it or not, milk of mag, hemriod cream is amazing for under eye bags, as for brushes... why would you buy $30-100, brushes when art brushes at crafts stores are almost if not 100% the same at 5-10% of the cost? I suggest royal langnickel, Lowe, artists loft and elf studio brushes if brand name is your thing.

Is this for personal use or for professional? If you're going for "pro", then you need to make sure you have everything necessary for sanitization. Alcohol 99 to spray down your liners, etc.with before using them on someone's face. And be sure you have enough foundations to accommodate all skin tones. You can always mix colors together to get the shade you need so that you don't have to carry every color under the sun. But you'll also need multiple finishes for different skin types and working conditions. Several types of primers to match with those different skins as well. Setting powders are important, too. I'd focus on building a kit that will allow you to perfect the skin of everyone you work on before worrying too much about a million eyeshadows, blushes, etc.and all the "color" products. Any make up will look better if it's over perfected skin. And if you can't get the skin right, even the best color products will look like crap. If you're just worried about yourself, I'd still focus on the right foundation and primer to get your skin perfected, and then build up your color products. Neutrals are good to start out with, then start adding primary colors to suit your eye color. I like to try out new trends in a cheap drugstore version to see if the tones suit my skin and personal preference, then find a good higher end product for actual use. That way if I hate how it looks on me, I haven't spent a lot of money for nothing.
