After a long period of neglect, I got my MAC palette out for a play... I really like the MAC duochrome shades, and the way they appear in different lights/on different bases, so I picked out "Club" to base the look around...
You can kind of see the duochrome here in chrome, which is an overall green shade, but has a brown-red cast in certain lights...
Find out how to after the link...
How to...
I applied a base of MAC painterly paintpot, and blended out with fingers. I then used a MAC 239 brush to apply MAC "Humid" to the inner 1/3 of the eye, and "Club" to the outer 2/3 up to the crease. I then used a fluffy brush from Illamasqua to blend and soften the edge. I then used the same blending brush, and picked up some "Satin Taupe", and blended this into the crease. I then used "Brule" as a highlighter onder the brow and blended into the colours.
Under the eye, I used a pencil brush to apply "Humid" and "Club" to the lashline, and blended. I also tightlined and lined the waterline with my Prestige liner which is a blackened khaki colour.I also added a little "Vex" (another duochrome) on the inner corner to brighten it up a little... I finished with two coats of Estee Lauder Sumptuous Colour mascara in Amber, which I actually love. I did my best with the brows, but they clearly need to be dealt with by the threading lady...
Obviously, you can switch this look up by using a black base, to bring out the duochrome even more...
Hope you like!

I have more MAC eyeshadows than any others so wear them a lot. How does Painterly last for you? I get quite a bit of shadow creasing when I use it as a base.
Club is my all time favourite Mac eyeshadow! It looks lovely on you.
Try using it over a blue/teal pencil or a purple/pink pencil on the lid. It changes the colour!
I love how you can get so many different colours from just the one eyeshadow! x
I love club. It is a great color to work with. Very unique!!
I just pulled out a MAC palette recently too. I love Club -- must revisit and try it again.
Great post!
Very pretty, i LOVE duochrome shades.
