True blue-red, anyone?

This is a weird-sounding color request for the eyes…but I’ve long been on the lookout for a true rich blue-red. I’ve looked at BE, TSS, Meow, and PureLuxe; but while they have things that come close, they don’t have what I would consider to be a deep ruby red mineral makeup.

From the various base pigments I’ve seen at Coastal Scents and a few other places, it doesn’t seem like this is really possible using natural ingredients. I’ve seen a fuschia (BE’s Beautiful Lisa), which I do love; and I’ve seen some ochres (Halos and Horns by TheSheSpace) but the closest I’ve found to a blue-red is Lucifer’s Chariot, from TheSheSpace. Even that’s a wee tiny bit too orange.

So am I looking for a unicorn here? Or does someone know of a loose-powder mineral eyeshadow that’s really truly red?

Edit: We may have a winner. BEfairlady and purplerinnie both made suggestions in the forum. PureLuxe’s OMG is a loose-powder deep red with glitter. Not as much glitter as their “Flashcubes”, but looks like slightly more glitter than the colors in the BE Bare Topaz kit.

Edit, again I found it!! And, of course, it was a limited-edition color. TSS’ Vampires Tap Dancing, from the Storypeople collection, is the much-sought-for blue-red.
