1Yves Saint Laurent Ombres 5 Lumières 5 Colour Harmony for Eyes in 11 Midnight Garden, $56.
Complementary eye makeup colors—the colors that are opposite your eye color on the color wheel—will make your amber eye color look most vivid. When considering your best colors related to your skintone, stick with shadows and liners that also have warm undertones (like your skin). These colors won’t have any cool gray or “iciness” in them, but will lean more towards a sunny look, or have hints of gold in them.
This palette of monochromatic shadows features every finish, ranging from shimmer and sheen to metallic and matte, with a highlighter that complements all.
