Mac Eyeshadow like Satin Taupe but warm?

Hi - I recently bought my first Mac eyeshadow out of curiosity to see what their formula was like. I bought Satin Taupe because I love taupe and because of its popularity. I like it a lot as it lasts well on my oily lids and is the right depth to define my eyes. I’m using it as a quick option (not exactly a one-and-done because I often add a lighter transition shade and/or a darker shade at the outer corner.

I want to buy something similar from Mac but warm-toned. There are no Mac stores near me so I’ve been looking at colours online, reading reviews, etc, but I thought I’d ask here : )

My eyes are a bluey green, my skin is light (and neutral, I think). My hair is a reddish dark chestnut brown. I want a Mac shadow that:

  1. Is warm-toned
  2. Isn’t matte
  3. Can be used as a one-and-done
  4. Defines my eyes (that is, I don’t want a pale shimmery nothingness with a translucent base).
  5. Enhances my bluey green eyes

So far, I’ve looked at Amber Lights, Woodwinked and Antiqued. Which of those would fit best? And are there any other Mac shades you think would work? Hit me with your ideas : )

Thanks : ) Ideally I’d buy a few, but I don’t have the money and, also, have vast amounts of eyeshadow palettes so am trying to be strict and go for a single eyeshadow.

How about sable. It has a similar level of sheen

Thank you @crankytoes and thanks for the very helpful picture too, so I can see it beside Satin Taupe. Definitely a possibility 😊
