I thought,it was interesting and decided to share.I hope you like it.

FOUNDATION & CONCEALER:
NYX Liquid Foundation = Mac Hyper Real SPF 15 (Mac Pro only):
NYX Twin Cake Foundation = Mac Studio Fix Powder or Studio Tech
Maxfactor Pancake Foundation = Mac's Full Coverage (Pro only)
NYX Concealer Jar = Mac Studio Fix Concealer
NYX Concealer Stick = Mac Studio Stick Concealer
NYX Concealer Wand = Mac Select Moisture Cover

POWDERS:
NYX Bronzer Powder = Mac Bronzers
NYX Loose Face Powder = Mac Select Sheer Loose
NYX Highlight & Contour Set = Mac's Sculpt & Shape (Mac Pro only)

BLUSH:
NYX Mosaic Powder Blush = Mac Mineralize Blush
NYX Rouge Creme Blush = Mac Blushcreme
NYX Powder Blush = Mac Powder Blush**
** I noticed a lot of the NYX blushes have the same name as Mac's blushes and are very similar in color (dupes).

BRUSHES:
NYX B07 Flat Top Brush = Mac 187/188 Duo Fibre Brush
NYX B01 The Big One Brush = Mac 150 Large Powder Brush
NYX B24 Kabuki Brush = Mac 182 Buffer Brush
NYX B02 Cheek Brush = Mac 168 Large Contour Brush
NYX B03 Blush Brush = Mac 129 Blush Brush
NYX B05 Foundation Brush = Mac 189/190 Foundation Brush
NYX B06 Powder Brush = Mac 134/150 Powder Brush
NYX B08 Fan Brush = Mac 184 Duo Fibre Fan Brush
NYX B09 Flat Foundation Brush = Mac 191 Square Foundation Brush
NYX B10 Blending Brush = Mac 217/222 Blending Brush
NYX B20 Concealer Brush = Mac 194/195 Concealer Brush

NYX B19 Liner Brush = Mac 209/210 Liner Brush
NYX B21 Definer Brush = Mac 212 Flat Definer Brush

SHADOWS:
NYX shadow trios are similar to the Mac special edition palettes that come with three or four shades together. I believe NYX makes 45 different trio palettes alone, not to mention their single and loose shadows. Their single shadows have the same finishes as Mac ones, ie. Pearl, Frosty, Matte, etc. Some shadows I can attest for:

NYX Black = Mac Carbon
NYX Cream Cheese = Mac Nylon
NYX Midnight = Mac Black Tied
NYX Irises = Mac Electric Eel
NYX Morocco = Mac Deep Truth
NYX Golden Orange = Mac Orange
NYX White = Mac Gesso
NYX Deep Bronze = Mac Bronze
NYX Herb = Mac Brun
NYX Yellow = Mac Chrome Yellow
NYX Hot Pink = Mac Passionate
NYX Platinum SIlver = Mac Electra
NYX Seafoam Green = Mac Newly Minted
NYX Khaki = Mac Mink & Sable
NYX Marrakesh = Mac Greensmoke
NYX Deep Purple = Mac Beauty Marked
NYX Lime Juice = Mac Bitter
NYX Antique Gold = Mac Woodwinked
NYX Odyssey = Mac Contrast

LIPS:
NYX Tube Lip Gloss = Mac Lipglass
NYX Lip Gloss w/ Mega Shine = Mac Lustre Glass
NYX Lip Plumper = Mac PlushGlass
NYX Sheer Gloss = Mac LipGelee
NYX Tinted Lip Spa = Mac Tinted Lip Conditioner

  1. What an utter waste of great God given opportunity of life, spent in stupid activities such as these!

    Human civilization is bound to destroy itself under the weight of its own idiocy. That is for sure, and you're a living proof of that.
