Get the look - Keira Knightley

The beautiful Keira takes to our cinema screens once again, this time as Cecilia in the novel-turned-film, 'Atonement'.

Although modest about her beauty, Keira never fails to capture rapt audiences with her sultry, wide eyes and rosebud lips. We've got the tips, tricks and beauty bits that will help you recreate Keira's gorgeous beauty style.

Porcelain looks...

Keira is renowned for her flawless ivory complexion (although she says she suffers from spots, which makes her human after all!), so for a crystal-clear complexion regularly remove dead skin and dirty build-up by using a good exfoliator, like Garnier Pure Deep Pore Wash, £3.99.

For a flawless face, a good coverage foundation is needed - one that looks natural but with a semi-matte finish. Maybelline Wonder Finish foundation, £5.99, boasts a cream-to-powder finish with a silky texture, or try the True Match range from L'Oréal Paris, £8.99, for a near-perfect skintone match. Brighten up the eye area with a light-reflecting concealer such as L'Oréal Paris Touche Magique Concealer, £6.99, or dot a deeper concealer over lids to form a base for long-lasting eye make-up.

Lightly blushed...

English-rose blush set against Keira's fair complexion looks fresh and youthful. Creamy blushers work well for this look, as they have a dewy rather than powdery finish, so try Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Plum, £5.99, for a glowing flush on the apples of the cheeks.

Smokin' eyes...

Keira's look is never complete without her signature smoky eyes, which magnetically draw everyone in. Start with a creamy-coloured base and then line lashes with a strong black kohl liner. Draw along the top, close to the lash line and fill in the outer corners by the lower lash. Lightly line the lower lashes too. Next, use a dark-brown or soot-black shadow (Maybelline Expert Wear Mono Shadow in Intense Black, £3.49, is a great choice) and with a firm eyeshadow brush, gently brush along the line, smudging and blending to lose the liner definition, giving a smoky effect.

Lashings of deep, dark mascara on the top and bottom lashes is the key to completing this look, so try L'Oréal Paris Perfection Voluminous Mascara, £6.99. Finally, groom eyebrows neatly but not too thinly - Keira's brows are a prominent and strong feature on her face.

Sultry lips...

Who can resist those pout-perfect lips? Keira has mastered the art of the sultry pout, without looking even remotely tacky. Always keep lips smooth and conditioned by exfoliating regularly, and then they'll always be ready for lippy action. Keep things neutral, Keira-style, with a nude gloss like L'Oréal Paris Glam Shine Lip Gloss in Nude Moon, £6.99, which has a hint of beige, or opt for one with a slight hint of rose.
