Catrice eyeshadow dupes for Mac and Urban Decay Naked palettes: Masterlist

I watch numerous make-up tutorials on youtube but often find myself unsure how I might recreate the looks demonstrated using more affordable, cruelty-free products. Quite often make-up looks featured on youtube use Mac eyeshadows and the Urban Decay Naked palettes. As Mac is no longer cruelty-free (Mac's animal-testing policies) and also outside of my budget, and Urban Decay is neither cruelty-free (Urban Decay statement) nor available in South Africa, I decided to do some investigation to see if I could find alternatives which are both bunny-friendly, affordable and available in SA.

Nyx is widely touted as an excellent, Leaping Bunny-approved alternative to Mac products. I will  be investigating this further soon. However, today I wanted to start by listing Catrice products that are considered dupes for Mac and UD. As I personally do not own any Mac or UD, this has been based on swatches and posts from other blogs, which will be acknowledged below. Some of these are not exact dupes but work well when trying to recreate a look.
