Also, what do you use for what? The only bit I know is that you put a foundation of blusher on your eyelids before applying the eyeshadow - Apparently that brings out the colour better and makes your eyes bigger/more expressionate... 
What stage makeup do I need to get? And where can I get it in the UK??

The kind of make up you need and how it should be applied will depend on the size of the stage and the lighting. I have a great book on stage makeup and perhaps that might be the best way to go is to find a book at a library or even buy one (I use mine all the time) I imagine almost any book covering the subject would have good information.
Generally speaking, the larger the stage the more make up you will need. Stage lighting can wash you out so that normal everyday makeup is not enough.
I rarely am on a large stage but when I am I wear false eyelashes, use black eyeliner and the reddest lipstick and blush I can find. In the photos from large stage events I do not look overly made up, I look "normal" that is because distance and bright lights will cause the most made up person to look less so.
