I don't usually answer questions like this, but the inner make-up junkie in me just couldn't resist! Let's see, SKII and Shiseido have a good range for Oriental skin. I also recommend Bobby Brown. They have a huge range for all Asian skin shades. In particulaar, their "Foundation Stick" gives good adjustable coverage without the conventional heaviness of cream-type foundations. If these don't work for you, try Prescriptives' custom blended foundations. This is ideal in theory, but not all of the staff can do this competently. Make an appointment with their BEST make up artist if possible.
Good luck!

If you cant find something at walgreens, maybe you should try going to a more expensive makeup counter in a store like marshall's. Perscriptives has good foundation, but its very expensive, around 26 dollars a bottle. I like to use loreal true match because it can fit just about anyone, or covergirl. If you find one color that is just a little bit too light, and another that is just a little bit too dark, why dont you try buying one of each and mixing them together?
I dont know what to tell you other than that. I hate how makeup is directed towards either white or black women, and nothing else. Just kind of annoys me.
Maybe if you go to an asian store near by and search for their makeup. Whenever I go to one of those stores I cant find a color that fits me anywhere, so maybe you would have more luck doing something like that.

The best for me was CLINIQUE it works really good, plus its healthier for your skin than other products. The only thing you probably wouldnt like is that its more of a thin coat base. You can get clinque at dillards. REVELON is also a good brand and more affordable. You can get it a wal-mart, cvs, wal-greens, and many other places. I use revelon most of the time because it stays on all day, its more of a thick coat base. well i hope you find the cover up you need=]

Great foundation for Asian skin Nars, MAC, Prescriptives, Laura Mercier and Chanel. Your best bet is to go into a make up counter and ask them to colour match you, that way you can feel which textures you perfer.

Get some Bare Minerals !!!!! It's very forgiving on ANY skin color. they have a wide range of shades and you can custom blend your own. It's a little expensive,But lasts a very long time.

The best brand for Asian skin is 'Mac.' If you find your local retailer ask them to find you the perfect match for you. They are really good. A bit pricey but well worth it.
