Fashion Photography Lighting

Hi guys! I am brand new to photography and have posted before with some lighting questions, but I've since reevaluated my decision and have a few more questions. I am very drawn to the lighting common in many beauty and fashion images (I've heard photographers refer to it as "hard/soft" I believe?). The image is bright, and shadows are much more intense than with a softbox, but still soft enough for beauty work. After much research and speaking with several photographers, I've realized the best way to accomplish this seems to be with a beauty dish. I have included several images of the lighting that I am referring to and would love to accomplish (NONE OF THESE ARE MY WORK). I currently have a Canon Rebel T5i, a 42" 5 in 1 reflector, as well as a tripod, and a white backdrop. I am also purchasing a 50mm lens soon (I will eventually get Canon's 100mm Macro, but the 50 will have to work for now). Anyhow, I was considering purchasing an Alien Bee B400 strobe to go with my beauty dish. I've seen a photographer I admire use it, and the result was stunning. Also, this particular strobe seems to be one of the more affordable ones on the market. Again, I am just getting started, but find myself drawn to extreme glamour images with dramatic light. I am also a makeup artist, so I will be photographing my own work and want it to look the best. However, I don't have thousands to spend on lighting at the moment. Does this setup sound good? Any other suggestions to accomplish this sort of thing are very much appreciated! Thank you very much!
