maybe a darker, purply red? though i agree with those who have said that red is unlikely to clash with purple.
i have been having a makeup moment lately. generally i don't bother at all, but sometimes i love it. i still need to find red lipstick (that wears and doesn't clash with the red streak in my hair) so i'm eyeing the l'oreal that was mentioned :)
i also went on a quest for red eyeshadow recently. it's impossible to find. i was finally directed to sephora, which might be my new favorite place ever. eyeshadow can be tricky, but once you get the blending and the general shapes that compliment your style, it's quick and easy. i love the smokey eyes look - i have black and red eyeshadow, and use a light touch and skin-toned shadow to keep it from looking theatrical and over-applied.
it's fun to practice and play around with different looks. i'll also second the youtube idea. great place to learn new makeup techniques.
