Beauty Tips: How to Get Smoky Eyes

We consulted Peter Phillips, creative director for Chanel Makeup, to give us tips on how to get Keira Knightley's sexy eyes.



1 - Pick a multitonal eye-shadow palette, like the one at left. Prime your lid by patting on regular foundation — it'll form a base for your makeup to stick to.




2 - Dip the tip of a dampened makeup brush into the darkest shadow, and draw a line across your upper and lower lash lines.




3 - Before the shadow dries, look up and blink—this marks a line on your skin in the creases, which you'll want to fill up to with your contouring, medium shadow.



4- Rub the softest color in your palette above the creases and up to the brow bones to highlight.



5- Sweep the light, pearly shadow around the corners of your eyes to make them seem larger (you can even dust a little under your lower lashes to offset dark circles).



6- Trace on one last layer of the darkest color as liner, and smudge it with your finger or a cotton swab for a blurred effect.





7- For extra oomph, curl your lashes, and coat on the deepest, darkest mascara you can find.
