A couple of MAC staples: Satin Taupe and Club

There are some MAC shadows that are constantly popping up in peoples favourites lists or ‘staple’ shades. These two certainly fall into that category. I know you’ve seen these a thousand times but I have them now and I’m swatching them so there :p

 

Satin Taupe is what it says on the tin. It leans quite brown though on the taupe spectrum (though I have heard some people say it pulls purplish on them, I personally don’t see that). It’s shimmery but not overly frosty, I like to use it in my crease with Bourois Brun Nylon on the lid. 

Club is a deep reddish brown which flashes blue/green. It’s a subdued version of Blue Brown pigment. I like them both but for different things. If you’re after a really strong duo chrome effect go for the pigment, if you want something a bit more subtle go for Club. 

Are they worth the hype? I think so. I get a lot of use out of both of them. Satin Taupe is a basic neutral and Club is an interesting twist on the theme. I’m done now, an original post will pop up soon I promise... x

*I bought these. Please someone stop me buying eyeshadows?*
