Option 2

I'll see if I can help! I have a lot of the products you mentioned. I love the MSF Natural. I apply it after my foundation. You don't need half of the things listed though.

-You do need an eye primer, it helps the shadow adhere and last longer and more vibrant. I use UDPP, but I heard L'Oreal Decrease works just as well for half the price! So that's always good!!

- You need a face primer too. Some people skip that part as it is not a necessity but more of an option. I use it though since it works for me. I used the Monistat chafing gel; you probably already know about this but in case you do not here is a link: http://www.skindeco.net/2009/04/monistat-chafing-gel-vs-smashbox-photo.html

-You need a good moisturizer but only you will know what skin type you have. You can use any really. I use Curel or any good lotion...no need to spend big bucks on a moisturizer. But I did spend a lot of $$ on Decleor. face moisturizer but like I said any will do.

-I love the 217 brush by MAC, but there are other alternatives like the Sigma SS217 which is a dupe, there are also a lot of similar brushes at your local drugstore like CVS/Target/Walgreens...brands like Sonia Kashuk, EcoTools, etc...

-As a concealer I use the MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 concealer. It works well, but I found that my drug store brand concealer works just as great and again for half the cost, so I pretty much alternate between the two.

-You do not need a 55 dollar brush. I bought a Bare Escentuals brush for like 30 I think and it works the same as the MAC 182 Buffer Brush. But any kabuki brush will work as long as the hair is full/dense/packed.

As for how much tax is included it depends on your state. I think like $2-3 was added to my order online, I forget!

I hope I understood your question correctly. Good luck!
