Answer: Asian skin can be tricky. You want to stay away from pinkish shades and stick to a yellow base. Your best bet is to go to a large department store that stocks dozens of brands and shades (like Sephora) and test out different colors with the help of a salesperson. The trick to testing foundation is to stand near a window to view the shade in natural light. Otherwise, you might try custom blending. Several department stores offer this. The makeup artist will blend the perfect formula for you (keep in mind you may need a different shade for summer and one for winter).

Some great brands to try: Prescriptives makes 500 shades so chances are you'll find your perfect fit. Also Shu Uemura and Shisheido are two Asian-based companies that cater to Asian skin.
