I'm 17 and began doing freelance makeup last year. I did tons of research before spending lots of money on things for my kit and I would definitely suggest going to camerareadycosmetics.com to get things for your kit. It saved me a lot of money, plus they have many professional makeup brands such as Ben Nye, Graftobian, Eve Pearl, etc. The palettes from these brands are fantastic! My personal favorite foundation palette from there is the Mehron Célèbre Pro HD foundation palette. Hope this helps :)

Make sure you have a concealler palette that has a wide variety of shades for all skin colours, it will come in handy so often.
Also make a www.starnow.com account and apply for gigs on their to gain industry experience and build your portfolio and client base :-)
