Which color would you use to get something close to a candy apple red?
Carnation, poppy, or flame?
TIA!

Thank you so much for your advice! You are great!

One more question....
What do you normally use to 'brush' it on? Any special steps I need to take?
Boy, am I green or what?!?!

Raspberry luster dust on top of the poppy red will make a beautiful finish, especially when steamed. The raspberry doesn't lighten the color and stills gives great results.

I have been taught that sable brushes are best for use with dusts. They can be a little on the expensive side, depending upon where you buy them. Watch for sales at the craft and art stores.
I have heard that the taklon brushes are also good for this, but I have found them to be too stiff, and I end up applying more to the first contact area than to others. I am heavy-handed, too, which does not help.
