Great test. My guess is the gap shows up in layering and how the colors hold up over time more than in the first swatch. Please post the side by side when you're done.

Da bin ich mal auf die Ergebnisse gespannt.

(makeup hand here, not a pencil person) the €6 set will pass the one layer test and lose at the third. cheap pigment is mostly binder, so it looks fine until you need a mid tone or a blend to hold. tell me which one wins by layer five 🤍
