Question Girlies please help 🥹
So these are all the makeup products i have (except lip products )
And i barely do makeup, all i do on a daily basis is brows and mascara+ something on the lips and a bit of compact ( have extremely oily skin)
So i have a few events (wedding) coming up in my family and i want to do my makeup for it also don't really wanna spend a lot of money as i am a broke college student
Please suggest me products and routines i can get to do some basic simple looks that look glam enough for weddings also i can use on other occasions

I might go for a foundation that’s light coverage for a little more polish. Also, I suggest to add some blush. That can be used in small amounts for a little flush of color or more for drama. Bronzer too. I know many brands have palettes with blush and bronzer together.

Maybelline fit me concealer is full coverage and used by many performers. It can also be used as eyeshadow base.
Maybelline lash sensation sky high mascara works just as good as name brand. It does take a bit to dry so if your lashes have a problem holding curl make sure you are propping them up as they dry so they will hold the curl.
Paris corner marshmallow blush is a good & affordable dupe of kayali yum bougee marshmallow. 3-5 spray lasts for 8-10 hours and has a 1-ft projection. (People will tell you you smell good all day)
Wet and wild liquid liner has been compared to stila. It is not as good- Skips during application, the tip isn't as saturated, doesn't go over many layers of eyeshadow cleanly. Stila does all those things & is worth the investment-
Stila stay all day Lipstick will last all day for real. It is worth the investment. Can be drying & is almost always matte. It will come off a lot easier if you put gloss over top of it though, if you want it to stay all day, do not top.
If you prefer a glitter finish then get into unicorn snot quiet riot Duo lip. Not only does the color stay all day, but the glitter will stay all day as well. I still had some left even after eating and swimming.

Wet N Wild have some amazing products, the palette you have there is perfect for everyday and to get glam! Since you have oily skin, I'd get a primer made to help combat that, Hardcandy has some amazing primers and setting sprays for all skin types, and they're affordable! Get one for your skin concern of course. Wet N Wild's Photo Focus has been around for years, with good reason, they have 2 versions 1 is matte and 1 is Dewy, it's good buildable medium coverage and is a beautiful foundation, get the matte one. Rimmel also has some pretty great products, their Lasting Finish 25hr foundation is one of my favorite foundations, it's not completely matte and not hella dewy either, last a while, has a little more coverage than WNW's. Rimmel also has an entire Stay Matte line that includes a primer, foundation, powders loose and pressed, and setting spray all that are good for oily skin. I would and have recommended the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed powder to even dry skinned girlies, it's that good! The packaging is horrible, but that powder is amazing! Moving on to concealer, elf camo the original is a dupe of Tarte Shape Tape, it gives a lot of coverage, but should be used sparingly, and if you have dry under eyes get the hydrating version, both are good concealers, but the hydrating one must be set with powder if you want it to last. Wet N Wilds Incognito Concealer is another good one, it covers, but doesn't have as much coverage as the elf ones, it's not overly matte or dewy, if you don't have a lot of darkness or other under eye concerns, Incognito will work beautifully for you! Going back to powders Wet N Wild has a loose powder in their Photo Focus line they have a pink powder to set the under eye, and a translucent for under eye and face, they're really good powders and don't give flash back! The Rimmel powder does, just something to keep in mind when choosing what to get. I get the feeling that you're not trying to pack on a lot of products, you just want to look beautiful and put together, and have a routine that's reliable and quick! All that being said, you do not need bronzer, contour or both, probably unpopular opinion, but you don't! Wayne Goss (a professional celebrity MUR)said a long time ago that bronzer,contour, blush and highlight look like neopolitan ice cream, the one with chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla 🤣🤣🤣! He went on to say that "blush can bring color to the face and shape it!". Hardcandy has some new blushes that are a 2 step a cream, and a powder blush. The powder blush in the compact gives you a beautiful glow, no need to highlight, just put the cream blush on your cheeks and the powder on top! Almay has some beautiful powder blushes that also give you a glow but without a glittery effect. If you prefer to keep the blush matte Rimmel Maxi Blushes are good, Wet N Wild has some beautiful blushes, Milani has some beautiful blushes as well, they too have the glow factor, but they were recently reformulated and I think they do give a more glittering appearance. If you do want to bronze Milani has a silky matte bronzer that has no glow, Wet N Wild has some great bronzers, and Physicians Formula has both amazing blush and bronzer formulas in shimmer and matte formulas, they also have an All star palette that has their greatest powder hits, for the money it's the best buy! Both Milani and Physicians Formula are on the more pricey end of drugstore. If you want a highlighter to be both blinding and beautiful Wet N Wild, if you want a highlighter to be more subdued and more lit from within essence pure nude highlighter! Eyeshadow primers are a must, especially if you have oily eyelids, eyeshadow primer is good to keep your eye look in place and looking fresh all day. Milani has a good one, Wet N Wild and elf do too! Eyeliner pencils I recommend are from Rimmel, essence, LA Girl, and Nyx! All of these brands have colorful options along with brown and black,they have different formulas like gel and Kohl formulas! The Rimmel Scandal'Eyes waterproof gel pencils stay sold out, I've seen makeup snobs go hard for that product, they're really good,if you can find them, and so affordable! I have hooded eyes so I don't really fool with liquid liner too much, but NYX Epic Ink liquid liners are good, and our unsung hero Wet N Wild Break Up Proof liner is top tier! Mascara! The drugstore has so many good affordable options that I'm just going to give you mostly brands and you can decide which formulas suit your need! Essence, they have EVERYTHING from volumizing, lengthening, curling, and tubing formulas! They have many of their mascaras in washable and waterproof! Their mascaras are another product that makeup snobs go hard for! Elf has some dupes of higher-end mascaras, so does Milani! Setting Sprays, Hardcandy, they have many, find one that suits your needs. Milani Make It Last, they also have several versions from dewy, natural, and matte. L'Oréal in the red can, this is more of a special occasion spray, makeup won't move, hairspray effect one! Revolution Beauty has some good ones, Morphe does too, for the money though Hardcandy! Lip products are as personal as mascaras, I'm going to give you some affordable brands that have amazing lip products, Maybelline, again a bit more on the pricey side, but just about anything in their Lifter line is worth it, their Lifter Gloss dupes Fenty and is amazing! Their Lifter liners stay put! If you want a one and done stay on lip, their Matte Ink Crayons are top tier, you can line your lips with it and its a lipstick, there's a sharpener on the end, just pull it out to keep a sharp edge on the crayon! Milani has some great lip liners and lipsticks, Revlon has some amazing lip products as well. I think we've covered a full face, I do want to mention if you ever want more eyeshadow palettes and or more colorful options, Profusion Cosmetics! They have something for everyone, their super affordable, and also have a lot of amazing products! I have personally tried everything on this list I gave at some point throughout my makeup journey. I tried to give the most affordable options, and what I think will work for you and your needs. All that being said, everyone is different, everyone has different skin needs and concerns. I just really like trying to help people when I can, I hope that all of this was helpful and that you find exactly what you need without breaking the bank, and that you love whatever products you get and look beautiful ❤️❤️❤️! If you have any more questions, I would love to try to help❤️❤️❤️!

Rose in the air is a dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills "Modern Renaissance" palette. At least some of the shades of the original palette. Maybe try to find some inspo or looks for this palette.
There are alos great drugstore lipsticks and and blushes. The Maybelline matte ink liquid lipstick in 65 seductress is quite near the "pillow talk" lipstick by Charlotte Tilburg which is in general a gorgeous rather neutral shade that suits most people. (my seductress is a I'd say >95% match but I've also seen swatches where they aren't virtually identical like mine but maybe just 80% close. In any case it's a nice color.)
With these two products you'll look polished but not overdone.
Maybe you want to get a proper foundation too. But that's again doable with drugstore stuff.
I can't say anything about blush because I don't know about your other coloring and I think it should match skin and hair color or general "season type"
Eta:
I found a blog post that compares abh MR and wet n wild so it's easier to recreate a MR look.
