The Mehron kit will get you started. The pallet with the tiny molded cups are a pain though.If you can do it. The best way is to buy a small clown white. a Color cup of red and a black pencil. You might also want to add a small auguste shade for a flesh tone, If you plan on doing an auguste character. Yes, it will cost a little more. But, you won't have to worry about contaminating your other colors. My wife bought the Ben Nye three color wheel (Red, White black) it is a big pain to keep the colors out of the other compartments.
You can set your makeup the old fashioned way with baby powder. Buy the stuff without cornstarch. the ingredients list should say something to the effect of Talc, and fragrance. AND NOTHING ELSE.

Mehron and Ben Nye are to two brands you are most likely to find. Either are good. In fact, I use a little of both.
Good Luck.
