I love red eyeshadow but I still haven’t found a true red either in matte formula or shimmer, that is actually red and very pigmented. I have tried reds in palettes and I have some singles from MAC but none of them are what I’m looking for.

I achieve a true red smokey eye by using a Colourpop gel pot eyeliner (which seems to have been discontinued) all over my lid. But I can’t do much else other than a monochromatic look using this.

I have thought about trying a Kryolan single because that’s mostly a stage makeup brand and it might be actually red but I’m not familiar with their shadows’ pigmentation. Plus it’s probably an old formula. And I know about INGLOT, I have some shadows from them and I don’t really like the way they apply.

So, do you know of any shadows of any finish that are true reds on the eyes and also very pigmented? They don’t have to be singles, they can also be part of a palette but note that I live in the EU, so anything available on Monolith shop and European brands would be easier for me to get.
