I need help with this error!

My code:

// =========================================
//  Color Functions
// =========================================

// Variables
$base: #3acec2;
$base-dark: darken($base, 25%);
$base-light: lighten($base, 25%);
$complement: complement($base);
$complement-light: lighten($complement, 10%)

// Header
header {
  background-color: $base;
  h1 {
    color: $complement;
  }
  p {
    color: $base-dark;
  }
}

// Nav
.main-nav a {
  color: $base-light;
}

// Button
.btn {
  color: $base;
  background-color: $complement;
  &:hover {
    background-color: $complement-light;
  }
}

The error I'm getting: error scss/_color-functions.scss (Line 13: Invalid CSS after "header ": expected selector o r at-rule, was "{")

Hey Presian Nenov 👋

It looks like you're missing a semicolon at the end of line 10: 

$complement-light: lighten($complement, 10%);

I hope this helps! 😄
