Violet #1

Violet #1 is a medium lavender with pinky undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (almost opaque but not quite), but the dustier, thinner texture made it harder to apply to bare skin without it looking somewhat uneven. It took a lot of extra effort and buffing to get it mostly blended on the cheeks, so this is one that I liked better over powdered skin. It lasted for eight hours. Fenty Beauty Drama Class (P, $20.00) is more shimmery, darker, glossier (90% similar). About Face Score (P, $18.00) is more shimmery, glossier (90% similar).

ColourPop Floating Lights (LE, $10.00) is lighter (85% similar). Lethal Cosmetics Hybrid (P, $15.50) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (80% similar). ColourPop Whirl (LE, $10.00) is more shimmery, lighter (80% similar). Coloured Raine Butterfly (P, $16.00) is darker, cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
