If you lost your makeup bag ...

If you lost your makeup what would you buy as a start to replace everything? I already have a replacement bag but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the choice in the shops for the makeup items.
FWIW I am late 50s with grey hair, dark brown-black brows, brown eyes, and pale skin with redness from breakouts.
I'm thinking concealer, foundation, basic pallette of eyeshadow, mascara, blusher, lipstick. Is there anything that I have missed?
I don't want to spend a fortune as I only wear makeup occasionally thanks to working from home.

I’d start with everything you use every day - in my case a true match powder, finishing powder, blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, mascara, brow grooming gel from Glossier, lipstick. My logistics is pretty similar to yours, I think.

Why you need a replacement?

I'd definitely need a colour corrector to hide my redness as I wear quite a light coverage foundation but other than that just the basics. I buy Revolution for everything, their primer, foundation, concealer, contour, setting powder, setting spray, blush, mascara and lip liner.

I think that I left it at a hotel. They can't find it though.
