Get the Look: Keira Knightley’s Rosy Glow

Just because it gets dark out at 4:45 PM doesn’t mean that you have to walk around looking all gray and sallow. Instead, make like Keira Knightley and take preemptive measures against S.A.D. by adding a rosy glow back into your complexion. At last night’s L.A. premiere of The Imitation Game, makeup artist Kate Lee did just that. “Keira is such an inspiration and I love to play up her features, so this evening I decided on a smoldering metallic eye with rose gold highlights, paired with a beautiful deep rose lip,” Lee said. Below, find the steps she used to make the actress’ face light up as brightly as her crystal-studded Chanel dress.

    Foundation

    Lee prepped Knightley’s skin with serum, then followed with “a light application of Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet Smooth-Effect Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to diffuse the light and give her a beautiful velvety complexion. The final step was a dusting of Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour to help keep things in place.”

    “For the eyes I used a combination of colors from the Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Tissé Rivoli, starting with the darkest color in the outer third of her eye socket and along the lower lash line. I used the mid-tone for the center of the eyelid and added a slight highlight to the crest of the brow bone using the lightest shade.”

    Lipstick

    “On Keira’s lips I used Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in Marie (available March 2015), which I used as a stain first, blotting and then intensifying the center of the lip.” For now, try the Mademoiselle shade for a similar look.
