Good red eyeshadows

Just like the title says, does anybody have any recommendations for good red eyeshadows? I really like MUFE's matte cold red 198, but I'm wondering about other brands, also. I also know of MAC Pro's basic red pigment, but I've never tried that also.

I'm open for any suggestions! The thing is I'm going through this weird red eyeshadow phase right now, and I don't want to spend a lot of money on a ridiculous amount of red eyeshadow and then just stop using it once I'm out of this phase, haha

Pure Luxe cosmetics has a color called OMG!, which is a shimmery beautiful true red! It's like the red from Mi'lady, but better! I think a 5gm jar is about $8. I frickin' love this color!!

definitely all the suggestions about MAC products were great.. but try BEN NYE eyeshadows.. they have immense color payoff because its for film and television..along with MAkeup Forever.. makeup forever will stain your lids if u dont get it off thoroughly but definitely worth buying

vampire from manic panic.

i bought this e/s years ago and realized i left it behind when i moved cross country. i had it sent back to me and i have a newfound love for it! i always thought it made me look ill, but now i love it now that i know how to apply it correctly. i think it's true to color as well. it's matte, inexpensive, long lasting, and a true red. i bet this would look even better over flammable!

i've yet to find a drugstore (not hot topic) brand come close to this color. nyx's cherry is more like mac's passionate, isn't it? hot pink?

here it is. sorry for the dustiness around the edge!

Here's a really old picture of me wearing the MAC Mi'Lady eyeshadow duo, you can see both the purple and the red shade in this picture. This was also done without Flammable as a base (I just used Bare Canvas Paint), and Flammable makes the red even more ridiculous.

I also have 99 from Make Up For Ever, which I think MissChevious posted a picture of. I do use it pretty often, but mainly because I don't want to use up all my LE Mi'Lady. I find 99 to be a bit orangey, and I've never been a HUG fan of MUFE. I find their eyeshadow colours sort of flat, and 99 is no exception. However, it does look pretty good layered over Flammable Paint...it just adds an extra dimension. The red Mi'Lady is awesome though, it has a beautiful pearly sheen to it too. Hopefully you can find it somewhere.

love this one & since it's only a dollar for a generous sample it's worth a try!

The paint and coppering is what I use to get red.

I also oddly found this old color called "stomp" that looks pink but turns out more red that works as well.

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.

Somewhat on topic, does anyone know how the red in the upcoming Danger Zone trio from MAC compares to the red in Mi'Lady? I hope it comes without that damn silver giltter...

Coppering always looks, well, copper to me. A great way to get a true red is to use Kryolan palettes. You can find them on sillyfarm.com, and they have a primary color palette with a very "red" red.

Anna Sui's Eye Color Accent in #400 Matte Red.

I don't own this one, but I have other Anna sui's e/s from this line and they're awesome!

Re: Red Eye Shadow.

Second MUFE 99, also if you use MAC Flammable paint as a base, you can bring out the red in darker brick-red colors like Urban Decay's Gash.

As far as true, bright red, you can't go wrong with Ben Nye. Top quality, amazing color payoff, and it looks incredible. A couple of the girls on here have tutorials with the Ben Nye, and here's a site where you can order from. I'd recommend the Lumiere Luxe powder in Red. (The website is weird, for like clown stuff lol, but don't let that put you off.)
