Scandal (226) is a deep purple with warm, pink undertones and lighter pink and violet pearl. It had semi-opaque color payoff with an emollient consistency, which meant that the color was prone to sliding around and settling into lip lines. Of all the shades in the set, this one would have me most concerned about feathering for anyone prone to that (it did not feather or bleed on me, though). The color lasted for five hours and was lightly hydrating. It did seem to apply a bit better, overall, compared to the permanent version I have. MAC Yung Rapunxel (LE, $21.00) is warmer, glossier (90% similar). L'Oreal Splendid Blackberry (P, $9.99) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Smashbox Vinyl (P, $21.00) is more muted (90% similar). ColourPop Panda (P, $7.00) is less shimmery, lighter (85% similar). Pretty Vulgar Made with Mischief (P, $24.00) is more shimmery, glossier (85% similar). Makeup Geek Backstage (P, $15.00) is more shimmery, darker, more muted (85% similar). MAC Smoked Purple (P, $21.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Urban Decay Plague (DC, $18.00) is lighter, cooler (85% similar). Estee Lauder Extrovert (P, $32.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). MAC Instigator (P, $21.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). MAC Power My Spirit (LE, $19.00) is darker, more muted (85% similar). NARS Train Bleu (P, $27.00) is darker (85% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Theo (DC, $36.00) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar). MAC Model Behavior (P, $21.00) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter (80% similar). MAC Which Witch (LE, $21.00) is darker, more muted (80% similar). MAC Succumb to Plum (P, $22.00) is less shimmery, lighter, warmer (80% similar).
