I have a pink loose sparkly eye shadow in some tube called Hot In The City from Viva La Diva, it's super pigmented! And cheap ^^

Urban Decay Deluxe, MAC, Coastal Scents and Nars are amazingly well pigmented.

MAC, coastal scents and Wet & Wild!

MAC if you like shimmer, Bobbi Brown if you like mattes. I dont have any experience with MUFE and UD (yet), so I cant comment on them. Hopefully UD will finally be available at Dutch Sephoras this upcoming year!

I agree with Mac and Urban Decay, but also Sleek (UK brand, very pigmented beautiful shadows) and Coastal Scents too.

Agreed with MUFE! Though I think Urban Decay and MAC are hit or miss, some eye shadows are amazing, others, not so much. I also really love Ben Nye eye shadows.

for mattes MUFE & Inglot, for shimmers MAC and Dior

Lauren Luke has only 15 eyeshadows out so far, but will be coming out with a LOT more in April, and they're all highly pigmented.

I love Urban Decay, but for any Canadians out there, try Annabelle shadows. They are so great and can be found in drugstores. I highly suggest their custom quad shadows and studio pigments.

Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow's are very pigmented and smooth

Mattes go check out MUFE, Shimmers Go check out NARS, MAC, and Urban Decay.

Barry M dazzle dusts! they're sooo pretty and super pigmented.

Urban Decay, Dior and NARS

MAC, Urban Decay, Medusa's Makeup Mineral Eye Dusts and Lorac.

NARS and Urban Decay are my two favorites!

L'Oreal HIP Duos and Shocking Shadow Pigments! Just bought the Pigments in Visionaire - a GORGEOUS warm gold - and the Duos in Gunmetal - sheer silver-sparkled black and GORGEOUS!!!!!! bright metallic silver with a touch of ice blue to it. They're incredibly pigmented, and dare I say it, MAC-esque!

MAC, MUFE, Medusa's Makeup, Benefit and Urban Decay.

I second your suggestion of MUFE for mattes, but I have to give it up for Senna when it comes to shimmers! They put even MAC to shame -- I'm in love =D

Urban Decay Deluxe is the most highly pigmented by far. Next in line are regular Urban Decay e/s and Dior: Extreme mono or 5 color-Iridescent.

Yeah, I love urban decay, they are really well pimented

I gotta agree with your picks. I'm planning a massive MUFE matte splurge very soon, and most of my collection IS UD or MAC. Although I WILL admit I've heard great things about Illamasqua, and am dying to try their stuff. I just don't know if my semi-local freestanding sephora actually carries it, since i know the in store counter ones near me don't.

For mattes I agree with MUFE, shimmers Nars and MAC!

Lime Crime Cosmetics! Their pigments are really bright, no fillers added! Also Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics! Highly pigmented and very original shades! Coco

Coco - do you order your Lime Crime online? I have checked out the site several times and am really super curious about their products.....but I would love to try them in person :) Do they sell at actual stores or just online? How long have you been using Lime Crime? Do you use the pigments loose or with a liquid thingy??

Supposedly Lime Crime repackages their stuff and it's all from TKB. Personally, I don't know, because I don't buy her products, but there is a lot of evidence on that. Also, who wants to pay 12 dollars for something when you can get it somewhere cheaper?

I have about 7 or 8 colors of pigment from Lime Crime, and I LOVE THEM!!!!!!! They are so pretty.. And Ive actually never used them wet, just over my MAC paint pots.. GORGEOUS!!

Hey Ladies: Before you order Lime Crime, check this out - it might save you money: http://www.lipsticksandlightsabers.com/2009/08/lime-crime-so-ordinary-it-should-be.html

Lime Crime no way they just repackage the minerals i mean u can buy it yourself directly from the company The best inexpensive shimmer eyeshadows/pigments are from Ben Nye

i would love to try lime crime... im in love with there colors there so unique and beutiful and their lipstics are to die for. do you know how i can get a sample to try out?
