Afternoon beauty fix: Get Keira Knightley’s romantic eye

I like the soft, romantic eye makeup that Keira Knightley has been spotted wearing during TIFF. How can I recreate this look on myself?
Keira swayed from using traditional black liner to smudge around her eyes and used a flat, non-shimmery grey shadow instead. Finding the correct finish—matte and flat, opposed to waxy and shiny—is key to getting this look right. We recommend using your finger to spread Joe Fresh Cream Eye Shadow in “Slate Grey” ($6, at Joe Fresh) over your lid and below your lower lashline before using a Q-tip or makeup brush to perfect the edges. It’s a highly-pigmented grey that blends easily, thanks to its creamy formula, but dries matte and will easily stay put all day.
