First, it all depends on what your underlying skin tone is! My father used to be an executive with a make-up firm that is very big internationally. He was raised in Japan and mainland China. He used to tell me that the main difference between the Asian philosophy of beauty and make-up and Western philosophy lies with the preparation.
For instance, compare Japanese and American based cosmetic firms. American and some European companies like to hide and emphasize features with make-up. The Japanese firms spend more effort in skin maintenance products and skin enhancement products. The Japanese really appreciate the sexiness of just beautiful flawless white skin.
Creating that flawless, white or "peachy" base is difficult in some Asians that have dark or sallow, yellow complexions, so they use a base that is light-green in color under the proper shade of foundation that is designed for their skin tone and texture : oily, normal or dry.. If you like your skin tone, you can skip the greenish base, but find a good foundation that matches the color of your neck, to give you a great all-over color without looking phony.
Japanese women are very careful to stay our of the sun from a very early age, to maintain that porcelain, doll-like look. Remember to use a good sunblock, at least SPF 30!
Stick to natural colors. Use a light hand on the eye make-up and use translucent pinks an reds on the lips. Use your blush just on the apples of your cheeks. Gone are the days when we draw the blush over th whole cheek bone! My best advice is for you to go to a store or company that is used to dealing with women of color ie: Shiseido, and even some other Ethnic groups..
