You could try the Lelutka Ryn head. Mudskin has some nice skins you could demo along with the head.

Sorry. Too tempting.

I'd forget that you ever heard of Genesis Lab, if I were you.

For mesh heads, I also recommend LeLutka - but perhaps their Ceylon head instead. 

There are several skin suggestion threads here on the forum, which are worth to look at.

What I do is look for a mesh head skin that has to look I like and then, Find out which heads it's used for.. that may be one way..

So if I were looking for a more asian look, I would look for those skins and pick the one that hits the spot and which head it was made for...

Hey there! Welcome back to SL!

Okay, so you've got a lot of options. Maybe too many options. I can help a bit. It sounds as if you've got your mesh body all sorted out, so let's move on to the heads.

So here, your best bet would be Lelutka Evo X (which is backwards compatible with Lel Evo Classic products), but you've also got another really good option in Akeruka (AK). Unfortunately, you just missed a 50% off sale at AK (ended yesterday) where they released two new Asian mesh heads at discount. The good news is AK runs sales quite frequently, so if you can wait a bit, you might be able to grab one for about 1800L. AK Advanced heads include a version designed to match Lel Evo products, so Lelutka Evolution line skins and makeup will work on them (but not skins and cosmetics made for the newer Evo X - that's important).

This decision is going to come down to how much patience you've got for shopping. Evo X is the easiest shopping experience as of right now. AK/base Evolution line is a slight bit harder to shop for, but still doable. With the holidays coming up, my advice would be to grab head demos from both stores, figure out what looks you like, check out the available cosmetics, and wait a bit until sales start dropping again.

Note: there are definitely options in the Genus and Catwa lines as well, but if you're like me and shop too much, you'll notice that fewer new releases for those heads are flooding the market these days. Still, it might be worth grabbing the free Genus Strong Gift at their mainstore to see what you can do with it. 

Hopefully all that made sense. I don't know who let me touch the keyboard before finishing my coffee.

Now for skins:

Lots of stores carry Asian skins for Evo and/or Evo X and sometimes Genus, and sales are common. I'll include a small-ish list of stores to get you started. Just pay very close attention to what line the skin is made for - Evo and Evo X have different logos. Nothing will ever say AK, so just pick Evo if you go that route. Demo demo demo everything. Also, pay attention to the weekend sales. Happy Weekend, the Saturday Sale, and SoKawaiiSundays will make skin and makeup shopping a lot easier (and cheaper - a lot cheaper).

Skin stores:

Tres Beau (check around both outside and inside the shop/up the stairs)

Moccino Beaute

Nuve (they have some Asian skin freebies for Lel Evo, Catwa, and Genus in exchange for a 250L group join fee)

Dernier

Enfer Sombre

Gloom (they do weekend sales quite often)

ItGirls

Bold & Beauty

Velour (frequent weekend sales on skins and cosmetics)

 

Last note: Many stores sell body skins separately from the heads. Read all the notecards that come with the demos to find out what body skin your head skin is designed to match.

If you need any help finding any of the places I mentioned (they should be in the Search, but you know how cranky SL can be), or if it all gets a bit too confusing, just poke me here or inworld and I'll help you out.

Welcome back to SL, Kimiko-san. In regards to you comment about your inventory being a mess, if it interests you, there was a thread [link] in which people shared how they organize their inventories. Maybe this will be helpful to you. Best regards!

I just got that Momo skin the other day at the K9 event.. It's really nice..

I haven't looked at the body skins yet though.. You have to get those from VELOUR..The skin will come with a notecard that has the landmark for VELOUR.

It's a really pretty skin.
