Givenchy Le Prisme Yeux Quatuor 73 Pastel Model
I asked you guys on Instagram which of the 6 Givenchy eye quads you wanted a tutorial for, and a majority of you guys - unsurprisingly - voted for the toughest one. 73 Pastel Model.
As someone with dark eyes and dark hair, I tend to avoid all-pastel palettes because they tend to suit only the pale and fair-haired, with light eyes.
But you guys chose, so I’m going to show you how I’d work with a palette like this!
First, some tips for working with pastel shadows:
Clean up your lower waterline with a light pencil. Pale shadows can make your eyes look less white. This helps to reverse it.
If your eye contours are not very defined, shimmery pastels can make your lids look puffy and swollen. Don’t apply these pale colors any higher than the hollow of the socket line. The best thing is to add a matte dark definer shade (like dark grey in this case) to the socket line to add some definition back.
Apply LOTS of mascara or wear wispy false lashes that aren’t too heavy and dense. Pale shadows work well when paired with long lashes, but if you apply too heavy a set of falsies, you just weigh the entire look down.
The shades in this palette are very pale and translucent, as you can see in the swatch image. So it’s best to apply them over a base so the color holds and intensifies.
I used a nice beige-brown metallic pencil (Givenchy No 7) as a base and that worked beautifully. Use any matte or metallic neutral beige-toned base.

Concealer where needed. I used Benefit Fake Up.
I cleaned up my waterline with a matte beige pencil from Nars called Rue Bonaparte. This helps to brighten up the eyes and balance out the lower lids with the pale colors on the upper ones.
The key things I used for this eye look included a medium green pencil 060 from Catrice.
For more definition or to transform the look from Day to Night, you can add a darker matte grey shade to the socket line using a small pointed pencil brush. I used Coastal Scents Burnished Brunette. It looks a bit like MAC Print.
