I love the kiss cleanser and bha toner and I have samples of the cleansing oil that I plan to try out. :)

As for finishing powders, I use love lure, another product I used even for my wedding functions! I've put up pics somewhere on the forums of my wedding makeup, so if you search around, you can see how vintage and embrace look on me :)

I love love love the Vitamin C serum. The vitamin C serum has made my face "normal" again... it used to pump way too much oil before. I also really like the super serum. I alternate days between the serums so my face doesn't get too used to it.

Truly is very sheer, almost coral I guess in the tube? It looks scary but I think the reason it works for me is that my lips are pigmented and naturally darker in tone. It's actually a really nice color without being so bold. hmmmm.. Nectar was a red on me.. maybe a touch too cool? Birthday suit was very dark brown on me.. again I think its the color of my lips mixing with the color. A more subtle substitute would be Iced Mocha (its a wand formula). Breathless, I also felt this color was on the coolor side. From my experience in trying lippies, the colors that lean on the cool side don't work for me. But I think its a very personal thing. Maybe you can try getting one cool lippie and see if it works for you? I've swapped the ones that were too cool for me or else I'd send you some samples. I know it can get pricey sampling around!

Hi,
I'm not Indian, but Indonesian with medium warm tone (I think I'm around nc30). I also have strong yellow undertones. So probably I'm a bit lighter than your tone.
For lippies, I love lola (liquid gloss), it's my MLBB wear it almost everyday. Nectar looks red brown on me, birthday suit is also a bit darker brown for me. For these two, I usually just dab on lips, not swipe so it goes lightly. Negligee is kinda pink nude but make me pale. For some sheer I like darling. I also like Dame, makes my face look awake when I'm too lazy to have eye makeup on. I also got icing(liquid), I like to use this to lighten any lippies that look too dark on me :) Champagne (liquid) is good just to put in the center on your bottom lip to give it shine, great to combine in warm pink brownish!

For blush I only tried embrace, warm pink for me. I dont have any other blush because I often do makeup on the go so it's more convenient to have pressed or cream blush.

My foundation formula is 1 buttery gold : 1 warm gold : 20 whites, it almost the same with 1 BG : 11 whites but the buttery gold is kinda ashy and not warm enough. And I add yellow booster. But I think I need new formula since my face is kinda brighter (thanks to super serum and vit c serum!)

Wow, i guess Vit C must be really that good then.
Hmmm, i do think cooler tones dont work for me too, and i do have pigmented lips. i feel pinks look weird on me.
Soo hard to come to a decision :P
