Which Matte Black Eyeshadow should you buy?

So many people love MAC Cosmetics, which I understand they have good products. I love MAC too but more so when I didn't know there were so many options out there that had the same great quality and even better price. One of the most popular eyeshadows from MAC that I have had forever is Carbon, a matte black which every artist needs. Now for the longest time I thought this was the best and only highly pigmented black I was ever going to find until I found these others. I wanted to review all three of these product mainly because the quality is pretty much the same in all but the cost is very different. 
From left to right: 
MAC- Carbon $15 or $10 for just the pan as shown. (1.5grams/.05oz)
SugarPill- Bulletproof $12 (3.5grams/.12oz)
MakeupGeek- Corrupt $5.99 or $7.99 in compact
(1.8grams/.64oz)
As you can see there's a bit of a price difference. Now I've used Carbon and I've used Currupt and I have to say I'm loving Corrupt quite a bit more. The creaminess and smooth application is just so much nicer to me. I just received Bulletproof in the mail today but knowing the quality and color payoff from other Sugarpill eyeshadows I own I know this won't disappoint. I swatched each of these for you to show you the transfer payoff of color and I was suprised to see who came in first. What do you think? 
Sugarpill came in the top with transfer and altho MAC seems the richest in color all that doesn't matter if it doesn't transfer well.
I will continue to test these out to see which is the best but from what I've tested already and from what I can see, sometimes the "higher-end" products don't always give you the best for your money. In this case you can go with any of these and get the best quality but if your on a budget know you have options. Be sure to click the links provided to check out the websites and to get a discount. Thanks for reading and I hope that helped you find other options that work for your pocket.
