You can buy all-in-one inexpensive makeup sets online but they're off brand - I used to see these at my discount stores like Gordman's. But you don't intend to use it much, it's not a bad thing to buy. They also have compact travel size makeup kits like this but you'd have to buy foundation separately if you use that:
Some of y'all are brave! I'm not sure I'd be comfortable putting Dollar Store makeup on my face. LOL
OP, whatever direction you go, I HIGHLY recommend doing a test run a few weeks before the wedding. You don't want to try makeup for the first time on wedding day only to find out that it's the wrong shade, or it makes you an oily mess in two hours, or it slides off your face half way through the morning ... or worse, you have a reaction to it.
I haven't worn makeup since pre-Covid so all my stuff is really old. I'm going to a wedding in September and I'll likely need makeup only for that day or weekend. I seem to not have a lot of luck finding sample sizes online. Anybody have any ideas?
Most makeup is good far longer than 2 years. You can probably use most of what you have. The only items to be super concerned about is Eye Liner and Mascara.

You can get very small sizes but not sample sizes. I'd suggest going to a place like Mirror Mirror or a salon where you can get your makeup done and just pay to get spiffed up for the special day.
If you check Etsy, you will find samples to purchase of mineral makeups. Why do people like mineral make up, I don’t mind the blushes I don’t mind the eyeshadows I’m not a fan of the foundation, but my skin is dry… of course there may be shipping I didn’t check that but if you buy from one seller they might combine stuff so you’re not paying triple shipping.
By the way I use talk to text and sometimes it adds things that it thinks makes more sense. I said people like mineral make up. It added why do. Consider that an artificial intelligence auto co-wreck.

I should have added that I mostly just use liquid foundation, concealer, cream eyeshadow, cream blush, cream bronzer but I can do without it, tube mascara, and lip gloss. I don't like powders because I hated having to wash my brushes. I mostly used Revlon from the drugstore for my foundation, mascara, bronzer, and eyeshadow, Jane Iredale for concealer, MILK for blush, and I forgot what I used for lip gloss and lip stick. I'll check out some of the suggestions here. If it comes down to it, I could probably buy everything new from the drugstore and it might cost me about $50. I just didn't like the idea of being wasteful.
How do you know if you need to replace your makeup? I should probably replace my eyeshadow and mascara at the very least if I decide to use my old makeup. I think the blush might be okay. I bought it around 05/2019 and it only goes on my cheeks.
Mascara every three months. Eyeshadow powder 18 months. Eyeshadow cream or tube, a year.
If you look at your make up, it may have a small symbol of a small jar, with a letter M and that should tell you for that product. The closer a product is to your eyes, the more careful I am. By the way, at Ulta, the area around the front counter are the mini trial/travel sizes…
But they are usually the more high end products.
But that’s where I bought a little tiny size of the number one selling concealer, NARS radiant creamy concealer. Wow, it’s the first product that ever oxidized on my really dry skin. In 30 seconds it was orange. And it was supposed to be neutral and it was yellow to begin with. Glad I didn’t buy a full size.

Good call on Etsy! I found sample concealers and foundation for $3-$6!
