That second pic is photoshopped, you can tell.
The red side from MAC Mi'Lady duo is supposed to be a very good red.
Flammable Paint with Coppering eyeshadow on top makes a decent red.
There's another red eyeshadow from MUFE which is somewhat close but it's not as crayola red as it seems.
You could also use MAC Basic Red pigment but I'm not sure if it's eye safe.
I have never found a truly red eyeshadow, they are always either leaning towards the pink or the coppery side.

I found these pics on MUA of Scarlett:

Thing is, I think this is the colour I checked out once and it didn't look like a true red?

FaceFront (http://www.facefrontcosmetics.com/) has a shadow pigment called death by rubies...looks like what you're looking for...but i can't be sure because i've not seen it in person...maybe call them to see if it's close?
when you find it...definitely post an FOTD!

totally agree with misschevious, i've never really found a true red eyeshadow. either coppery or pinkish or more like a dark burgundy.
scarlett doesnt look red-ish at all on my screen. it looks coralish on my screen. the duo bubble thing looks good.
is milady a limited edition thing? i totally missed it on the mac webpage.

I did a look like that for Halloween. Went around all over the place trying to find a red shadow but ran out of time and still didn't find one so I just used a red lipliner and smoothed/smudged it out. Best idea ever haha the red lasted all day & night (unlike MACs carbon which creased on me
) no smudge no crease puahahaha. I don't know if there's anything bad about putting a lipliner on your eyelids since it was just a one time thing for me

Red or Red toned eyeshadow
Hey ladies!
I have olive/medium skin (on the pale side right now but not VERY pale) chocolate brown hair and green eyes. Any suggestions for a red or red toned eyeshadow? It doesn't have to be MAC.
Also, which do you guys think works better, a Paint Pot or Shadestick as an e/s base?
Thanks!!!

Re: Red or Red toned eyeshadow
Post Haste is a wearable reddish eye shadow...it's more of a red-pink and is very blendable...has great texture. Passionate is more red and also great. There is a true red in the pro line called Brick Red (I think...)
Personally, I think paint pots are easier to work with and make the eye shadow colors pop more, but the shadesticks last longer to me. Some good colors for under reds would be the Beige-ing Shadestick which is really neutral or the pink one...Pink Couture. For the paint pots, try a neutral one like Bare Study or Reubenesque...totally didn't spell that right probably.... or Artifact, which is like a burgundy with red frost.

Re: Red or Red toned eyeshadow
I am also olive skinned, dark brown hair, green eyes. I have SO many reddish eyeshadows...MAC coppering and passionate, Urban Decay Heat and Gash. I find that if you put a reddish shadow over a neutral base, it comes out pinkish. For months I was debating whether it was worth it to buy MAC paint in Flammable because I don't really wear red that often and I'd rather but something that I can wear a lot. I finally caved and got Flammable, and I wear it pretty often when I go out to parties and clubs, usually with Urban Decay Heat over it. It really makes my green eyes pop. It will make your red eyeshadows -actually- red rather than bright pink. I always get compliments on how eye-catching my eye makeup is when I wear Flammable. I've also managed to wear it during the day a few times with a pink over it and then Sketch or Folie eyeshadow in the crease to make a reddish brown day look
as an additional bonus, Flammable helps my eyeshadow stick =)

Re: Red or Red toned eyeshadow
Ooh red-toned shadows are my favorite colors to wear
These are all MAC:
A little folie (the originals)
beautyburst (barbie)
brown script
embark
coppering
antiqued
smoke signals pigment (smoke signals)
A few were LE but they are easy to find. I think a little folie is still available on maccosmetics.com
I actually prefer bare canvas paint as a base.

Re: Red or Red toned eyeshadow
i bet cranberry and coppering would be really gorgeous on you! i also just had a waitress yesterday with green eyes and she had a lot of orange infused with golds on and it made them pop like mad, you might want to try to get ahold of something like Firepot too!

Re: Red or Red toned eyeshadow
For just a red-toned eyeshadow, I like Cranberry and Coppering, maybe even Falling Star (though I'm not sure how red people would consider it).
I like PP and Shadesticks as bases. If I was just going to use it alone as a base, I'd probably go with Shadesticks. They last longer alone on me.
