MAC - Club Eye Shadow

Club is a medium opacity brown with a cool green duochrome. i think the brown also had a very faint reddiness to it too.
something about this colour just frustrates me so much. it is absolutely beautiful, but for me, and the way i do my make-up, it just doesn't wow me. the reason for that i'm pretty sure is because 1. i think the green is a little too much of a bluey green for my skintone and 2. the medium opacity. although the medium opacity is there to make this buildable and an easy wash of colour that doesn't overpower the green duochrome, it is what makes this shade difficult for me because it's not dark enough for a crease colour, nowhere near as dark or defining enough for an outer v colour and too dark for an all over lid colour. so the only way i can wear this, is to lightly wash it over a look with already applied lid, crease and outer v colours for a little extra flavour. this way i can also eliminate the blueyness depending on what i wear under it ('Antiqued' works really well under it because it compliments the very faint reddiness hidden in Club). sometimes it can even look a little slate grey or olive depending on what i've layered it over. but this still frustrates me, because this will never "make" a look for me, and i have owned this for some time and have unfortunately not fallen in love.
i also find that this fades a little (even with a primer).
i have literally all of the exact the same problems with 'Cranberry' (if that helps anyone).
will not repurchase.
