Need a TRUE Red!!

[entipy]

I'm gathering colors for a look I want to try, and I have everything but a true red. I'm not looking to spend tons of money or anything. I found Lime and Orange NYX pigments which look (on the website, anyway) as if they would be perfect. However, I can't find a true red. I see they have a Penny on there, but it looks more like a rusty color. They have a Red Head in pressed shadow which looks like a true red, but all my other colors are pigments or mineral shadows, and I'd like to stick with that if I can.

So, can anyone suggest a true red pigment/loose powder? (The NYX ones are $3.00 each! Something around there, cost-wise, would be awesome.) I've checked all the mineral sites I know of and can't find a true red anywhere.

Thanks!

At that price range I'd say the Larenim eyeshadows would be your best bet. The Goth Collection has Black Rose (dark red) and Type O (bright, true red). I have a bunch of their shadows and they're a really wonderful quality for the price. You can wet a brush when using them to get a greater color impact. I order the goth collection stuff from the site but they have the regular collection in Whole Foods.

Wow. That Type O color is great! I wish they had samples!

Their shipping is a flat $7.99! OUCH!
I think I'll wait on that until I want to order more stuff! LOL

Thanks so much for the rec, though. I love that color!!

Rebel e/s found at Hot topic has a red. Trucco has a limited e/s called Ruby Slipper, but I find this turns blackish over bases. MAC has a Matte Red Pigment that is a pro product, I dont have this yet, but its on my list. But by far the best I have, which is available in loose powder or a cake,. Ben Nye's Cherry Red, or Soliel Red. Good luck hunting!

OOOH!! I didn't even think about Ben Nye! I bet I can find red, yellow, and orange there - all in one place! WEEE!! THANK YOU

Oh heck yeah,.. I have a Tangerine orange in the Lumiere that is just fantastic!! Ben Nye rocks it out!

Where do you buy yours? Seems as though there are several places online.

Fyrinnae Red Hot is pretty close to a true red, slightly leaning on the orange side though.

I heard from someone else that Makeup Forever makes a great red shade called Scarlet as well.

YES! I found the Red Hot on Fyrinnae earlier this afternoon - it's perfect - and ordered it along with their Elven Dagger for my green! I have Saffron from Pure Luxe, and I think it is close enough to the orange I want to work. (I also ordered some scent from Fyrinnae - can't wait to try that.)

Thanks so much for all your help!

Flammable is more wine red.
