Susan,
The Look good,Feel better program is a great idea. They will provide you with makeup and tips on how to use it. They have a very good mix of makeup. I rarely use makeup but I got a really good mix in the kit they gave me. When you call them they will ask what your skin tone is and have a kit ready for you. I've been really lucky, except for the breakouts I get occasionally. Someone asked me the other day why I was wearing my hair so short, with the weather getting cold. I told her I was just happy to have hair. I finally started spiking it yesterday, it is growing in so funny, I don't know what to do with it. Still, it is warmer than no hair.
