Le Prisme Mono Eyeshadow

I’m a big fan of Givenchy’s shadows. They always seem to look good on me, so when I first heard about their new Le Prisme Mono Eyeshadows a few months ago, I couldn’t wait to try them. I finally got my hands on a few of the shades and they’ve totally won me over.

Each palette comes with four different shades in it, but the twist on these is that the shades are all variations on the same color. You get the shade in a light pearly finish, an intense pearly finish, a matte finish, and a sequined finish. Genius, right? It’s perfect for those of us who find ourselves gravitating towards certain shades (in my case, browns and greys) and want to wear them both during the day and at night. For instance, I’ve been using the Hip Grey palette matte shadow to line my eyes during the day, but the sequined shadow is the perfect sparkly silvery-grey to create a smoky eye with at night. I’ve also been playing around with the Fancy Coffee and Dressy Indigo palettes and they’re equally as pretty. (I especially love the Dressy Indigo just because it’s different than my usual boring shades). The shadows do go on kind of sheer, so you might want to apply them wet for a more dramatic look.
