Welcome to the forum, Ruby!

We can start with the lippies. I wish I had some experience with the DemiGlosses, but they just came out yesterday. From what I have heard, they are the perfect mix of the gloss and lipstick formula. It sounds like you wear about any lip color well. You could probably pick one of those that strikes your fancy and be good! Of those, I would say Grace is the safest, but with your coloring Capricious or Tickled Pink might be great. I am really looking forward to these because I am not much of a lipstick wearer.
For Kisser Slickers (the gloss formula) all around favorites are Hot Blooded and Breathless. If I remeber correctly, your coloring and depth looks much better with the more intense colors. For a non-shimmer reddish try Jaybird, for another pretty universal color, try Pout. In the nude category I like Birthday Suit, but I am not as yellow as you. The girls with the yellower tones seem to prefer Jaybird. Razzle Dazzle and Rare Berry would be good bets, too. (I haven't really narrowed this much, have I?)

For blush off the bat, I am going to suggest Lovelace. There are a few others that would be great, too, like Babydoll, Forbidden, and Vixen.

For finishing, Love Lure will be your ideal. I am between light and medium in tone and it shows up as a light bronzer on me. However, it might not hurt to sample Tempt Tryst at 99 cents.

For a glow, I think Halo if you like golden, or Heavenly if you want more of a rosey color.

Eyeshadow is such a huge category. Since you seem to want mid range in the shimmer category any of the ones from the Stonewashed Nudes Clone with shimmer would be good (Slate, Aztec, Moonstone, Quartzite) but they are pretty neutral. Some others that might work are: one from Fawn Pink and Scallop Pink and definitely Vanilla (IMO you want your highlighter to have a little bit of sparkle). I am not generally a fan of lots of sparkle, either, but I have found that I can blend enough to knock it down a notch if necessary. In a few days I will have lots more info on the new products. If you want something other than neutrals, I can update later with my take on the new ones. One thing I will say about Karen's mattes, is that they do have a nice texture. They are not totally opaque. You might have to try one eventually.

I'm not Asian, but have yellow undertones, usually wear warm mediun neuteral foundations. My current SN mix is 1 ebony : 5 white and just a little warm gold added, I just love Lovelace as a blush and Lovelure FP, although I"m looking forward to trying tympst tryst ( the new golden FP) and my favorite lippie is Skinny Dip.
