An Ode to Mac Club

Being something of a makeup hoarder, I own rather a lot of eye shadows. Well, rather a lot of makeup in general, but that's a conversation for another day! Having a substantial makeup collection does often mean that items do get forgotten, and this happened with Mac Cosmetics Club eye shadow. I've owned this since some time last year, but I have barely used it. I just hadn't been drawn to it! However, in an effort to 'shop my stash', I recently gave it a go. This little shadow has now become my new go-to. 

It's described by Mac as a red-brown with green pearl, and it really does have a duo-chrome effect. In some lights it looks green, and in others it looks warm brown. It's so tricky to capture the multi-tonal element in a photo! 

 By packing this onto my lid with a flat brush, then blending it up into the crease with a fluffy brush, it really shows off the duo-chrome effect. The green shows on the lid, then the warm brown shows in the crease. What I love about Club is that it really is a one-step easy smoky eye. Just the shadow and and mascara on the eyes is such a pretty look, smoky without being overdone. However, it really be deepened up for an evening out, even just by adding liner and maybe lashes. 

  

I've worn this look for days in a row, and I can't see this love affair ending any time soon. Really smoke out the lower lashline with this shadow and you've got yourself that Olsen-esque look in one simple step. What's not to love?! Which Mac shadows are your faves? Bloglovin' / Instagram
