I think Ben Nye Lumier is by far the best pigment along with MAC although it can be hard to find if you dont have a stage store near you.
They come in a ton of textures and shades bright and more muted.

Splash makes loose powder e/s, and theyre gorgeous. Theres one called sea turtle, that is nearly identical to Golden olive pigment, and one called oyster pink that is IDENTICAL to goldenaire pigment. All of them are so pretty and have the same finish as most mac pigments. and theyre cheap

Just as a caution,
I tried the eyeshadows from there,
And they faded on my skin within two hours,
this was with a base as well.
Not sure about the pigments though.
But just incase

Re: Products similar to MAC Pigments?
Annabelle's (Canadian company) makes some gorgeous loose powders and pencil crayons. The loose powder colour payoff is similiar to MAC pigments but they're more finely milled and texture is gravitating more towards bare essential pigments than MAC ones. Nonetheless, its very pretty. However, after getting MAC pigments, I'm looking for ways to get rid of my Annabelle loose eyeshadows

MUFE's star powders and diamond powders are great. Obessive Compulsive Cosmetics also makes wonderful Loose Color Concentrates.
If you are looking for REAL pigments (not the type of thing that MAC mislabels as pigment), MUFE's pure pigments and OCC's pure cosmetic pigments are great.

The Barry M. Dazzle Dusta are great. Great colour-range.

but I don't know if they ship in the US.
-> I had a look right now: they ship internationally.

Re: Products similar to MAC Pigments?
One I would say to NOT try are Cargo's eyeshimmer powders. I got a bunch of mini ones in a set for Christmas and they were horrible. Went all over the place...hard to control. There were some bizarre colors like a medium burnt type orange. Horrible. I gave them to a 6 year old.

i know they arent pigments, but the girl at ulta showed me how to layer them to increase the brightness of the color. i like studio gears shimmer loose eyeshadows! very complimenting! they come in GORGEOUS colors too!

Re: Products similar to MAC Pigments?
All the UK gals (and guys) spreadin' the word here about Barry M dazzledusts are bang on - they ARE cute little pots of highly pigmented loveliness... the only problem I personally have with them is that some of the warm colours (reds, pinks, lilacs) seem to shift tone on my skin and muddy up, which is disappointing. My boyfriend wears those exact colours all the time (I passed the pots on to him when they were no good for me), and they go on nice and bright and colour true for HIM, even without base or anything, so I think the problem I'm having is some freak of my own body chemistry rather than a problem with the product.... I do use the Barry M black all the time though and consider it one of the better sparkly black eyeshadows available on the market, nice and dark and pigmented, for a very reasonable price.
I've also tried Pure Luxe and Fyrinnae mineral powder e/s (probably tried about 20 shadows of each brand in total - hooray for cheap samples and reasonably priced international shipping!!!), and both ranges have some GREAT shadows but some so-so/ not so impressive ones. I'd recommend the sample service of both companies, particularly Pure Luxe, whose samples are HUGE and very, very good value for a measly dollar, and who also ship FAST.
Off the top of my head, I'd strongly recommend the following:-
Barry M: black, also there's a nice blue-gold one I sometimes use (sky blue with yellow gold pearl)
Fyrinnae:
digital faerie (turquoise with green glitter)
necromantic (smoky black with teal and blue sparkles)
oberon (pewter with purple pearl)
iris (lilac with green pearl)
mermen (dark green with blue sparkles)
pixie lust (pale green with blue sparkled)
Pure Luxe:
Turquoise Aura (translucent pearly white with turquoise sheen)
Opal Aura (translucent pearly white with lavendar sheen)
Fresh! (shimmery mango)
Supernova (glittery bright peachy-pink)
Galaxy (glittery "dirty" green-blue)
Tart! (bright yellowish sparkly green)
Ouch! (sheeny candy-apple red)
Hope this helps x

Benefit has some too, my favorite is mint julep. They're a little pricy too, around $14 for a pretty small bottle.
