I bought the NYX Chrome shadow in Red but it's actually a hot pink...anyone else think so? And I really wanted a red pigment!
 
Re: Red or Red toned eyeshadow

don't be afraid to use bright reds or even try hot pinks, they'd probably look delish. one of my fav reds is macs passionate. ive used it on so many skin tones and it just lookes awesome with golds and oranges.

I'm waiting on my Archetype order to come in (it's been about a month now and I am SO ready for it to get here) and they have 2 reds, Integra's Dog I and II and the II looked really red and shimmery on the site. I can't wait to try it. Maybe you should look at that. All of the recommendations I've gotten so far have been great I just haven't had the chance to buy any of them yet.

I love the red half of MAC's Mi'Lady MES over flammable paint. Yum.

Nice, I hope you get them really soon!

I own a lot of the shimmery red toned colours like…
NYX Rust
Vasanti Santiago
Lumiere Minerals Desert Sun
NYX Nectar
…and now I'm searching (in pigment form!) for less shimmery colours & more matte reds like MUFE eyeshadow #99 and NYX Jumbo Pencil Hot Red

I saw some gorgeous mineral shadow ones online but I'm debating purchasing them...

Flammable Paint is great. Looks brill with loads of shadows and pigments. Flammable with Beauty Marked is one of my fave combos, and really makes green eyes stand out.

Red Eyeshadow/Pigment

I love to match my makeup to my clothes, and alot of my shirts are red or black/red but i have no red makeup to match. What would you ladies reccomend to use? Im kind of trying to pull away from matte shadows (used to only use them but now getting into shimmery shadows). Also feel free to link me to any red shadow tutorials or looks

make up studio a brand from the netherlands makes red eyeshadows with great color pay off (glittery ones and matte ones)
or try Macs frankly scarlett blush (its a matte red) i know its not made for using around the eyes but i never had problems with it

Re: Red Eyeshadow/Pigment

Yeah I would stay away from using blushes in the eye area...there's a reason why red eyeshadows are so hard to come by, and it's because the red pigments are generally not eye safe.

You can try Flammable Paint by MAC (I use it no matter what red I'm using, it really makes things more intense), or if you can find it, the red side of Mi'Lady eyeshadow from last year's MAC Christmas collection. That one's my favourite, it's sort of metallic too. Or, eyeshadow 99 from Make Up For Ever is also great.

I saw one on theshespace.com that was called Halos and Horns and I ordered it. It was really bright and I think somewhat shimmery. I would check out that website.
