Her straight forward makeup advice

In order to better prepare for A-kon, I showed some photos I posted on our gallery and let my friend to criticize. I was a bit surprised that she gave me quite some straight forward comments, which I totally appreciate her honesty. Here's the exact quote from here:

Eye
- do round eyes, don't make a tail at the corner of your eyes
- Use more eyeliner on the upper lip
- use fake eye lashes and mascara
- Make your eyes look big
- don't draw the lower eye line
- Go for Smoky Eye look, using a lot of purple

Lip Stick
- Don't wear cherry pink lipstick
- Pick silvery pink lipstick instead

Overall
- Your makeup makes you look old, kind of like a old hooker


She pointed out that the lipstick I used was too old fashion:


And instead I should take one of these:



She also suggested me to go for a look like this:



And finally she urged me to use fake eyelash.

All these mean that I need to do some shopping in the coming 48 hours. Is there any favorite brand that you can recommend for:
- lipstick
- fake eyelash
- eye shadow

I prefer something that works well instead of something cheap. Basically something in a reasonable price range. In the meantime, I'll probably take a trip to H.E.B. and see if there's anything reasonable that I can try.
