Erin and I went and saw The Duchess yesterday, and while it was somewhat depressing, we both loved it.  I love period pieces, and this was really well made.  Is there anything that Keira Knightley does poorly?  I thought she was amazing, and she looked absolutely stunning throughout the entire movie!  She has the most flawless, beautiful skin I’ve ever seen!  When I saw this photoshoot in November’s Glamour Magazine, I had to share.  Is she not perfect?

Here is the trailer for The Duchess.  If you like Keira Knightley, then you’ll love this movie!

I love the idea of doing smoky eyes with brown, instead of black.  It’s a look that you could easily wear everyday!

Mimic Keira’s look with Tricia Sawyer’s palette of four neutral colors that can be used on any skin tone.

Tricia Sawyer says she uses The Essentials Palette shadow quad more than any other in her kit. The set of four colors comes in a sturdy professional palette with a large mirror.

Shades include: Generosity, an ivory nude (use as a base or highlighting color), Compassion, a deeper nude with a touch of warmth (use under the brow at the outer top corner of the eyes for some warmth – also a great blush color), Perspective, the perfect neutral taupe (use for shading the eyes, cheek bones and even the jaw line), Wisdom, a dark neutral brown (perfect for deep shadow color or even eye lining).
