I want something almost like a deep red wine. I tried MUFE #58 and I HATED it. It was wayyyy too pink.
I'm having loads of trouble finding just the color I want in a matte formula.
PLEASE help!!!!

If you are in the market for a cream eyeshadow:
Bobbi Brown 44 Berry Noir
Benefit Stiletto

I'm also interested on the suggestions you receive, because the two products I listed are the best I found to date.
I'd even go to powder for a good matte burgundy.

Thank you so much! The sephora one seems like it may lean on the brown side a bit much. Deep damson is the one ive had my eyes on but ever since seeing macs Burnt Burgundy(LE) I've wanted nothing but. WHY DO THEY ALWAYS GOTTA BE LE!?!??!?!?!?!?

Thank you. Unfortunately I'm not a cream shadow gal unless its used as a base. Finding a good matte burgundy is so much harder then i thought!

I know. It's like so many of the BEST products end up being LE. Uggh. Good luck in your search.

Have you tried a matte burgundy blush instead? I know La Femme makes a lot of matte in that shade range. Not sure if they are eye safe though.

Sleek Makeup is really good and they have two in the Sleek i Divine palette called 'Oh So Special':

If not, you can buy Flushed blush and use it as an eyeshadow.

Did you know they ship to the U.S. now for cheaper? I bought a blush and the shipping was $3! I think it would only be $5 to ship the palette, but will take 2 weeks which is why I hate ordering from their website sometimes. I hate waiting for my packages lol I'm in love with burgundy so if you do find a good matte one to your liking, please let me know!

Not easy.
But following Copperhead's lead, I plugged 'burgundy' into the eye shadow swatch search option
http://www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery?color=Burgundy&action=Sort&type=219
The MUFE 131 looked like what I want in a burgundy shade.
It can be bought here

MUFE 39 looks like a possible, too.

Sleek has an eyeshadow palette called Ultra Matte V2 with an eyeshadow called Villain. If you can find it, it's a really pretty matte burgundy color. It looks purple in the pan, but online swatches look burgundy on the eyes.

Keep breathing and try the wish list forum?
At the very least, this thread is a resource for possible burgundy shades and I'm bookmarking it.

I googled "red smokey eye", because I'm a geek, and found some other possibles:
La Femme blush
Last Call, UD
MAC Sweet Chestnut (LE)
MAC Cranberry
MAC Embark
MAC Sketch
MAC Heritage Rouge pigment
NYX 619 Rust pencil
Coastal Scents Fall Festival Pallette has a matte Burgundy
Hustle from Urban Decay Naked Palette
Astor Perfect Stay Soft Burgundy.
Makeup Store Enamor. Soft burgundy eyeshadow

I found this tutorial the most interesting to show how to work with burgundy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnJidcGkd4s

What I really took away from this mini-search was that burgundy can be tweaked to suit the eye and skin colours in many different ways- going from more purply to more rusty.
And layering other colours to create the burgundy effect.

Lastly, how burgundy can be combined with blacks, navy, greys or browns according to your whim.

What a great way to start the week.
Thanks for starting this thread!

I've been experimenting with using MAC PP Constructivist over the lid and layering Deborah Milano #53 in the outer V and crease.

It gives a soft burgundy look that 's daylight-friendly.
