New make up - recommendations!

I have been in hospital for a few weeks and have a few more weeks of bed rest ahead of me. Whilst scrolling endlessly I came across lots of make up 'influencers'.

I have now decided I want a complete overhaul of my make up bag... but don't know where to start. Thought the beauty brains here could give me some pointers and recommendations!

I currently use:
Bobbi Brown vitamin face cream
Double Wear, the normal or light one depending on coverage needed
Benefit Hula bronzer for attempting contouring
Bobbi Brown shimmer brick blusher

I have eyelash extensions so not using anything on my eyes at the moment.

I think I want to try something like the L'oreal Glotion or ELF Halo Glow Liquid Filter (Charlotte T dupe), and maybe some setting powder with the triangle sponge things?!

I am crap at applying make up, and never try new items, so no idea how all the videos got into my algorithm, but my heart is now set on an overhaul!

I have looked at Trinny and ELF, but no idea what things are good or not... any recommendations?

My skin is combination, I'm 36, starting to look a little 'textured' with pours, but thankfully no lines or dark circles etc... yet! The Double Wear tends to stay on quite well, but blush etc tends to fade.
