Seeing the World Through the Eyes of a Demon
...or how to really get into character.
In his humanoid form, Lord Sesshomaru's eyes are a bright yellow with very thin, cat-like pupils. It seems however, that his eye color is constantly changing with his mood.
In a calm, relaxed, peaceful state, we see his eyes as a very pale icy yellow, the color they usually are while he is talking to Rin.
In his more alert state, such as when sniffing out Naraku or challanging InuYasha, his eyes are a brilliant, almost glowing bright yellow.
For the CosPlayer who wants to really look like Sesshomaru, you will want to invest in some special effects theatrical contact lenses. The design commonly called "Yellow Cat's Eye" is the one you'll will want to look for.
Seeing the World Through the Eyes of an Angry Demon
...or how to look positivly prime evil.
As Jarkan once said, don't let Sesshomaru's cool deminur fool you, inside he is seething boiling, demon, always looking for fresh blood and looking for a kill.
We have already looked at his eye colors when in a calmer mood, now let's look at the colors seen when he is not quite so calm.
When angered they darken to an orangish, redish, yellow. We see this color often, especially while he is locked in a duel against InuYasha.
If you want to go for this fiercer, but not quite evil look, you will want to buy contact lenses in the design commonly known as "Red Wolf" or "Fire Wolf" or "Devil" or "Banshee". These names are used for yellow eyes with red or orange outer edges. These often come in either round or cats-eye pupils. You will want the cats-eye pupil for Lord Sesshomaru.
However...
...if you get him really, really mad at you, say if you took his sword or threatened Rin's life, Lord Sesshomaru's eyes turn a bright bloody red, the pupils shink to near invisable pin-prics, and the whites of his eyes disapear entirly. This is your warning sign to run like lightening, for he is about to transform into his true form: a firece, blood thirsty 40 foot tall giant white dog-like creature. Once you have gotten him mad enough for him to transform back to his true demon form, you would be lucky to live, as he'd likly eat you.
If you want to go for Sesshomaru's most demonic, blood-thirsty look, than you will want to buy contacts in the design commonly known as "Vampire Red". These come in several styles, but the one you will want to look for is the style that changes not only your iris to red, but also your whites as well; for this you'll need a "Blackout" style in red.
It is an interesting thing to note, that while CosPlayers commonly use yellow cats-eye contact lenses to achieve Sesshomaru's calmer yellow-eyed self, you never see a CosPlayer go for his more evil demonic red-eyed self.

Sites to Read Before You Buy Theatrical Contacts
FDA WARNING:
It should be noted here that in the USA it is illegal to buy theatrical contact lenses without a prescription, even if you do not wear glasses or contacts normally. This law went into effect in 2005, after several incidents of misuse of these items, which in turn resulted in serious medical conditions, including blindness. It is recomended that you order them directly through an eye doctor.
Most companies require your eye doctor to fax them proof of a medical exam and/or a prescription form, before they will allow you to place an order. BEWARE of any company whom does not ask for your eye doctor's info!
