Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Millie (Charming) - Part 2

From left to right: Purple with a Purpose (Brights, Summer 2005), Gothic Lolita (Electropop, Spring 2012), Taurus (Zodiac, May 2016), Back in My Gloria Days… (Modern Family, Spring 2013), Millie, Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not (France, Autumn 2008), Beautiful Disaster (Mash-Up, Summer 2013), Royal Satin (Ever Glaze), Rochelle (Countdown, December 2014), Close Your Eyes (Truth or Dare, Autumn 2005). Swatch sticks: Top: Orly Epix Acceptance Speech. Bottom: China Glaze Better Not Pout (Cheers!, Holiday 2015). Right: China Glaze Don’t Desert Me (Desert Escape, Summer 2015)

Of everything here, the stuff that’s closest is Gloria Days and Louvre Me. Gloria Days is darker and has bigger flecks, but Louvre is in fact really, really close. There’s less metallic in Louvre (which is more of a crème with glitter instead), but color wise they’re close enough you don’t need both.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Millie (Charming) - Part 1

I’m going to do a big Zoya purple metallics comparison that goes into more depth on the differences between them someday soon, by the way. In the meantime, enjoy this shot!

Other Zoyas:

From left to right: Hudson (Awaken, Spring 2014), Anaka (Truth, Autumn 2009), Millie, Hope (Classics), Giada (Flair, Autumn 2015), Haven (Wishes, Holiday 2014), Yasmeen (Provocateur, Summer 2006), Sloane (Pulse, Autumn 2008)

Hudson’s not even kind of close but since the other two shimmers in Charming were close to the other shimmers in Awaken I wanted to throw it in. Anaka likewise is way pinker than the rest of the comparison, but it’s in the same boat as Millie so I thought I’d throw it in. Millie’s more purple. Hope is the closest of the shimmers, but A) Hope’s formula is really, really thin and B) It’s just a metallic with no flecks.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Amira (Charming)

From left to right: Viva Antigua! (Viva Antigua!, Summer 2016), Liza (Birthstone, March 2015), Flip Tease (Kandee Johnson Vintage Anime, Spring 2017), Cinderella (Spring 2012), Amira, Rebel (Awaken, Spring 2014), Pamela (Beauty Mystery Box, April 2015), Star Dust Memories (Core), December to Remember (Twinkle, Holiday 2014), Show Us Your Tips! (New Orleans, Spring 2016)

Liza is lighter, has pink shimmer in it, and has less green in the base. Flip Tease and Cinderella also have pink shimmer, their bases are much less dusty as well. Colorwise, Amira falls in between the two of them. Rebel was the one I really wanted to compare to Amira – the shimmer/glitter in Rebel and Amira is the exact same stuff, although Rebel seems to have more of it. Amira is mostly a way less vibrant version of Rebel. Pamela is the closest thing I have to Amira, the glitter is way different (Pamela has orange glitter!), but the bases are similar (Pamela is a tiny bit darker and more green.) If you mixed Rebel’s glitter into Pamela’s base you’d get Amira.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Lacey (Charming)

From left to right: Passport to Happiness (Bridal, Spring 2016), Lacey, Dillon (Awakening, Spring 2014), Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish (Seas & Greetings, Holiday 2016), Visions of Georgia Green (Coca Cola Icons of Happiness, Summer 2015), Rikki (Irresistible, Summer 2013), Gemini (Zodiac, June 2016), Betsey (Birthstone, August 2015), Tammi (Wanderlust, August 2014), Rory (Sparkling Sights, Holiday 2016)

Lacey is really only even kind of close to Passport to Happiness and Dillon, and it’s way more grayed out than either of them. Passport to Happiness is a lot paler and Dillon is darker and cooler. Dillon and Lacey I’d say are different enough to get them both, but it’s a tougher call between Lacey and Passport to Happiness. Go with whichever you think will flatter you more.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Tina (Charming)

From left to right: Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Violet-Vibes (Electric Nights, Summer 2015), Drunk in Love (Color Fever, Summer 2014), I Manicure for Beads (New Orleans, Spring 2016), Odette (Naturel, Spring 2014), Spontaneous (Flirt, Spring 2005), London (Afterglow, February 2015), Tina, Violet (Mystery Minis, Summer 2015), Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring 2016), Mira (Summertime, Summer 2011), All Aboard (All Aboard, Autumn 2014), Sylvia (Garden Party, August 2013), Grape Pop (Up & Away, Spring 2010)

The stuff on the left is too warm and the stuff on the right is too cool and/or dark. Odette is a dustier version of Tina, but it’s actually a pretty similar hue. Spontaneous is a pinch darker, but it’s pretty close. London’s probably the closest thing I have but it’s closer to Odette than Tina as it’s a lot dustier, but it lacks some of the brown tone in Odette. If you mixed Tina and Odette though you’d probably have something closer to Violet, but Violet still leans closer to Odette. Lastly, Afternoon Delight is much lighter. Nothing quite matches Tina’s tone or vibrancy!

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Abby (Charming)

From left to right: I’m Gown for Anything! (Alice Through the Looking Glass, Summer 2016), Heather (Bouquet, Spring 2006), Abby, All Day Sucker (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring 2016), Alexa (Drenched, July 2015), Retreat Yourself (Active Colour, Spring 2017), As Seen on TV (La La Land, Spring 2017), Diggin’ the Dancing Queen (Poptastic Pastel Neons, Spring 2015)

Abby’s closest to All Day Sucker – All Day Sucker is a little more cool toned, but they’re pretty close.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Jordan (Charming)

From left to right: Candy Girl (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Fresh Prince-ss (Rebel, Autumn 2016), Something Sweet (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Mod About You (Brighter by the Dozen, Summer 2006), Feathered Hair Out to There (Poptastic Pastel Neons, Spring 2015), Jordan, Pinking of You (Classics), Laurel (Petals, Spring 2016), Castaway (Summertime, Summer 2004), Need a Vacation (Spring 2006), Delhi Dance (Going Guru, Resort/Spring 2016), Shelby (Beach, Summer 2012)

Jordan errs towards the left end of this spectrum, everything to the right are much darker. Candy Girl is much lighter and paler, as are Fresh Princess and Something Sweet. Jordan is closest to Feathered Hair and Mod About You, but Feathered Hair is a neon, just of a similar color, and Mod About You is lighter and less cool toned.
