Dupes for Mac Artifact Paint Pot, Review and Comparison

Hello everyone, I’m so excited to share with you some dupes for one of my favorite paint pots that is discontinued now.

MAC - Paint Pot in Artifact ($20):  It is a rich velvety mahogany red with coppery red reflects. Is not a "reddish brown" color at all, It provides a gorgeous base for Star Violet, Cranberry, and it turns Coppering into foiled metallic copper beauty.

Maybelline Color Tattoo – Pomegrate Punk ($6.99): is a warm cranberry/burgundy with a smidge of plum and subtle shimmer to keep it from falling flat. This makes a great base for bronzes, deep plums, burgundy, it's surprisingly versatile.

Sigma – Eye Shadow Base – Strike ($13): is a warm and unique Burgundy color with shimmery finish, nicely pigmented, very creamy and it has a thicker consistency than the Maybelline color tattoo, but very similar than the Mac Paint Pot. 

Comparison: The formulation is the obvious similarity, they are all long wearing, highly pigmented, creamy, with a shimmery finish, all of the products can be worn on their own or as primer/base to keep eye shadow in place, and they are all packaged in glass pots with black lids.

Now, all though they are very similar they are completely different,  Maybelline color tattoos are cream pigments , while the Mac Paint Pots and Sigma are cream bases,  however as I said before they can be used the same way and for the same purpose, I guess the only thing to consider is the price.
