I'm searching for pink liquid kumkum to no avail. Is there any online source that sells to the united states?

I've been looking for pink liquid kumkum (bindi paint). I've searched online everywhere. I've looked on ebay, online indian stores, googled, .... and all i can find are either the little packages with all the colors, or just the dark red color. I've called indian grocery stores in big cities, asked friends and family to go to some for me,.......

Perhaps i could settle on one of those little kits, and waste all the colors i never use, or get the dark red, but i would really like to find the kind i truly like, which is a deep pink color.

If anyone here could lead me to a good source, i'd be most grateful.

I took a look for kumkum to see what it was, and like you found that it is sold as red or in sets of colors. But I noticed that the modern kumkum (not the classic tumeric) is really just body paint. Body paint is just paint that is tested as safe for skin. The market for body paint is much larger in the US (well, not huge but larger than kumkum). It is sold in jars of individual colors. I don't see why you couldn't buy a jar of pink latex body paint. It would probably last a long time if used just for those little dots, if you were careful about keeping the lid tight. Anyway, take a look under latex body paint, such as in this source:

It was unfair to choose no best answer
For the same product from nadiraziz, you wrote -
"wonderful find, but i can't see how to place any order on their site. i've sent an email request to them, so i'll wait and hope. thank you!"
And now you say - "that is not what i'm looking for"
