Hmm… Clubbing used to be a lot less complicated.

The last time I went clubbing, let alone wore MAC Club Eyeshadow ($15) out to a club, was at least a year ago. and it’s funny — I used to be able to just roll out of the house around 10, get to the club by 11, and then dance until the wee hours in 4-inch heels, no problem. Sometimes, we’d even go out for fries afterward.

الآن على الرغم من؟ whole different story.

It seems like best around the time I hit 30, the prep work involved in staying out past 10 doubled.

Now, on those rare occasions when I do go out dancing, I try to carbo load the night before, take a power nap in the afternoon, slip some inserts into my heels (so my arches won’t hurt), and throw a Lara bar into my purse to eat on the way home (since my tum can’t deal with late-night greasy food like it used to).

هل تفهم ما اعني؟ معقد.

But one thing that hasn’t changed is my mad love for MAC Club…although nowadays I’m wearing it to the films and grocery stores, and not out to clubs to go dancing (at least not often).

Club was one of the first colors I fell in love with at MAC, and I’m so pleased we met. If I’d judged this nondescript reddish gray-brown book by its cover — by the way it looks in its pan — I might have never given it a chance.

And that would have been a shame.

On skin, I think MAC Club looks downright multidimensional, as if someone had pressed all of the colors of a peacock’s feather into a single eyeshadow. One minute, it’s a gunmetal gray with teal highlights; the next, a bluish chocolate brown with an iridescent green glow.

And beyond Club’s dynamic personality, it also loves layers. I like that I can coax different things out of it, like green, by wearing it atop green pencils or cream shadows, and teal, by wearing it with — you guessed it! – بط نهري صغير.

Easy to dress up or down, in some cases I’ll layer it on top of black liner for a quick smokey eye, or, for a twist on a conventional cat eye, I’ll wet an angled brush like the MAC 266 with some Fix+, sweep it across the pan, and apply Club wet along my upper lash lines.

But my favorite way to work it? By applying Club either wet or dry to my lids and following it up with a matte brown or shimmery golden bronze, like Soba, Soft brown or Woodwinked, swept in the crease.

It’s just a basic daytime eye look, but with a little green and teal peeking through.

Going beyond the grandpa sweater with a few outfit ideas

This feature by Bloomingdales has some great fashion food for thought.

I’m liking that skinny jeans, tees and tan sandals combo… It says, “Yes, I’m casual, but I’m not sloppy.”

I think I’ll try to see if I can find something similar for less at Marshall’s or Old Navy (hopefully, with clothes I can device wash).
