<em>Products pulled for comparisons</em></p>
<h2>MAC Mickey Contractor: Comparisons &amp; Dupes for Lips/Cheeks</h2>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #cc3399;"><strong>GANA</strong></span> is neutral, rather than slightly warm, as <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Chez Chez Lame</span></em>, while <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Honour</span> </em>is noticeably darker (more of a soft brown than a champagne).  <span style="color: #cc3399;">Trace Gold</span> is also darker, still a bit like a champagne shade, but gilded and slightly bronzy.  <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">NARS Albatross</span></em> is significantly lighter, paler, and more of a white gold.</li>
<li><span style="color: #cc3399;"><strong>FLESH</strong></span> is most comparable to <em> <span style="color: #cc3399;">Siss</span></em>, which is a lipstick, but the colors are very alike.  <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Dolce &amp; Gabbana Caramel Lipgloss</span></em> has less peach in it.</li>
<li><span style="color: #cc3399;"><strong>GULABI</strong></span> is a slightly redder fuchsia than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Girl About Town</span></em> (though on lips, I couldn&#8217;t see that subtle difference), while <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">NARS Schiap</span></em> is lighter and bluer-based. <em> <span style="color: #cc3399;">Full Fuchsia</span></em> isn&#8217;t quite as dark of a pink, but it is similar.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #cc3399;">SUR</span> </strong>is lightly rosier than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Darkly My Dear</span></em>; darker and more plum than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Prim &amp; Proper</span></em>; plummier and darker than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Prism</span></em>; darker and plummier (totally different) than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Gingerly</span></em>; completely different from <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Pinch Me</span></em>; <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Desert Rose</span></em> and<em> <span style="color: #cc3399;">NARS Dolce Vita</span></em> may be near dupes for each other, but are completely different from Sur; and finally, <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Notable</span> </em>is slightly redder.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #cc3399;">MEHR</span> </strong>is rosier than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Cosmo</span></em>, and unfortunately, I do not have some of the other possible dupes for this shade, like Brave and Fast Play.  <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Brave New Bronze</span></em> is completely different (peachy).</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #cc3399;">YASH</span> </strong>is slightly browner than but otherwise close <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Brave New Bronze</span></em>; darker than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Peachstock</span></em>; darker and more matte than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Freckletone</span></em>; lighter and less rosy than <em><span style="color: #cc3399;">Velvet Teddy</span></em>.</li>
</ul>
