Aren't they pretty? A coffee brown, a rusty orange, a peach color and a yellowish green shade. It does remind me of a Spring garden, hence the "Candide Garden" name. The peach color proves to be my favorite because I can blend it with my other every day shadows in my stash. It goes on so soft and the color will last all throughout the day. The green was also interesting, because I don't have anything like this in any of my eye palettes.
I think the best part about the palette might also surprise you, but under the gorgeous garden shades, is a small drawer with 3 different applicators. These brushes are much better then the crappy applicators you get in your usual makeup palette. Although they aren't the best, they prove to work well, and I've used them each time I use this quad. One applicator is for the lid, one for the crease, and I'm not quite sure what the other one could be used for. I think Givenchy is leaving it up to your imagination.


The quad also comes with instructions on how to create a few looks. Honestly I didn't use it, because as you can imagine, these colors can be used in many different looks, the possibilities are endless. You can use the chocolate color on your lid, creating a smoky look, or use the peach all over the lid, and the greens and oranges over the crease for a more natural eye with the peach used under your browbone. Sadly, I haven't perfect the best look yet with this, I'm still experimenting, and I'm sure I will post my look as soon as I come up with my favorite style.


The Givenchy Prism Eyeshadow Quartet Candide Garden is available for $56 at Sephora and Givenchy.

I have never tried any Givenchy products. This quad is pretty, and different! I don't think I would use the green color but they rest are great! This would be a great quad for the fall also :)
