Non-Makeup Wearer

Soo...I don't wear makeup on a daily basis and I only wear mascara and lipstick on weekends for Church. OCCASIONALLY, I sometimes will do more A) if I have the gumption or B) I have a special occasion like a wedding of something.

The big question is...what is your recommendation for purchasing makeup? I can't stand buying foundation bottle that I only use twice before it goes bad. Other than the obvious(just wear it more often!) What else would you recommend?
