The MAC Small Eyeshadow in Amber Lights excels in delivering a radiant, golden-amber hue. For best performance, always start with a clean and primed eyelid. A good eyeshadow primer will enhance the color's vibrancy and significantly extend its wear time, preventing creasing throughout the day.Apply with a flat shader brush for a concentrated color payoff on the lid, or use a fluffy blending brush for a softer, diffused look in the crease. Amber Lights is particularly stunning when used as a pop of color on the center of the lid, in the inner corner for brightness, or all over the lid for a metallic finish. For a more intense, foiled look, try applying the eyeshadow with a dampened brush. This shade complements warm-toned looks beautifully and can add warmth to cooler palettes.Experiment with layering: apply a matte transition shade first, then press Amber Lights onto the lid. Blend the edges gently to avoid harsh lines. For a smoky effect, pair it with deeper browns or blacks in the outer V of your eye.
