When I wasn't sure what to do with my makeup for my wedding, I went into the Mac counter at Macys. A number of friends had recommended their products. I'm pretty sure any cosmetics company has the same sort of policy - purchase one product and they'll give you a makeover. As they're doing you up, ask about why they chose the colors they did, what other colors they would recommend. Then you purchase one of the items that they show looks good for your skin tone. Have them give you a list of the products and colors they used on you for the makeover. You can then purchase them through that counter or you can find similar-looking alternatives through another company.
As for hair - others have excellent recommendations here.
I tend to look through a bunch of different pictures of hairstyles to get an idea of what is current, then I go in and tell the stylist to have fun. "I want something short and hip that will look good with my features" or "I want something with length but is easily managed." I've never been to a more expensive salon - just picked out my favorite-looking stylist from someplace like Great Cuts and I was happy. There was once that I went to get my hair cut by someone at the Paul Mitchell school - it was inexpensive and a good experience, though it did take longer than any other haircut.
