MUA Lisa Eldridge has shared a make-up look she created on Keira Knightley recently, and it’s perfect for parties this season – and so easy to recreate
Keira Knightley is all over our screens at the moment, not just starring alongside Joe Wilkinson in this year’s heartwarming Waitrose Christmas advert but also over on Netflix in movie thriller The Woman in Cabin 10. And for the premiere of the latter, Keira’s make-up – a stunning look featuring gold sparkly lids and rosy lips – was done by top celebrity make-up artist Lisa Eldridge – and she has shared how to copy the look yourself.
Posting a reel on her Instagram page, Lisa showed a short clip of the make-up process in action, prompting a flurry of questions in the comments below about Keira’s shimmery eye look in particular, asking exactly what product was used – and Lisa has helpfully revealed the answer.

Lisa explained that the glittery eye product used was Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow from her own brand, Lisa Eldridge Beauty, in the shade Anais, used “as a wash of colour and more intensely on the lash line”. Normally £21, the product is currently reduced to £18.90 on the Liberty London website at the moment as part of the retailer’s early Black Friday sale.
Lisa – who has also worked on the likes of Kate Winslet, Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne – also added that another shade of Liquid Lurex, Selene, was used as a liner too, to add depth and definition to the eye area.
We think that this makes such a simple yet striking make-up look for Christmas party season, able to be patted on easily with fingers or blended out with a brush.
By popular request, Lisa also shared a few other products used on Keira here, all from her own brand: Kitten Lash Mascara, £29, True Velvet Lip Colour in Blush Lightly, £27, used on the cheeks, and Romy lipstick, currently £22.50 for just the refill, on Keira’s lips.
For inspiration for more of a daytime look from the 40-year-old actor, we’ve found the exact brown leather jacket she wears in the Waitrose ad. It only gets a brief bit of air time, but we managed to track it down as the Chocolate Faux Leather Bomber from Albaray, £120. The jacket is the perfect chic piece to keep in your wardrobe for autumn and winter, and has a relaxed fit that makes it great for throwing on with any outfit. It’s made from ‘buttery-soft chocolate faux leather’, with an oversized style, patch pockets and a classic collar.
