P.S. I am going to road test JULISA today, and maybe KIANA...
I think I've found a match!! 
Previously RAVEN was good but a bit too olive/flat; and CAPRICE was a bit too peach/needed yellow. (I mixed both shades with AMBER and it was nice)
This morning I tried KIANA - it was a bit too golden-olive for me under the bathroom lights so I didn't bother doublechecking in the sunlight.
Then I did a half-face test with CHRYSTAL and JULISA. (These both seem the closest to the Meow "Lynx" mix, Monave "Hyeyeon" and LaurEss Radiant+Soft Gold/Yellow). Unfortunately my BF wasn't around to be coerced into helping me choose so I asked my next door neighbor and without a doubt she picked JULISA. I asked if it was a bit pale, she said no. She thought CHRYSTAL looked a bit pale on me, JULISA was warmer and more glowing.
