Where do you find red eyeshadow and liner?

I can't find anything anywhere it seems. I can find red lip liners and pink shadows. Where do you get the pretty vibrant reds?

best ones for a true red are cold red by make up for ever OR MAC pigment basic red. Ive gone to school for makeup and i do it professionally and i use those reds not only for eyes but for my special FX wounds when im coloring the inside of cuts and burns you cant use fake blood on. They are amazing reds (the reason its hard to find a red eyeshadow is because the pigments and dyes used in red are dangerous for your eyes)

Thank you!

What makes the pigments of red different from other colors? That is really interesting.

etsy has people who formulate mineral shadows, they can be a little pricier, but you can also ask them to mix the EXACT red you want

Thats pretty cool. I'm thinking that after what Nadja said, it might be unsafe maybe?

its safe! dont get me wrong its just that the pigment in it is more likely to cause irritation and infection in some peoples eyes. I have no clue what it is about red but thats what we were taught as makeup artists (and no matter what people say its not because "it looks bad" (cuz done right it can look amaaazziingg!!) ) just try not to use loose powers on their own.. use either a damp makeup brush to pick it up or get a mixing agent to turn it into a wet powder

I use a bright brick red lip liner by Rimmel called 1000 Kisses and it stays on for ages, I'm still looking for an eyeshadow to match, because all I have is a red blusher but it's too brown.

Since it's getting close to Halloween, you should be able to go to any store that sells Halloween costumes and get some really cheap make up. You can use the cream face make-up stuff for eye shadow, and they most likely have some sorta make up stick you could use for eye liner.

All my bandmate's bright eye make-up is from previous Halloweens :D
