<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>The Look</strong>: Smoky brown eyes and perfectly-arched brows.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>The Lowdown</strong>: I'm a big, big fan of this look on Miss Beckinsale (although generally not, it must be said, a fan of her work—sorry). Anyway! This eye makeup looks lovely, doesn't it? I'm also mesmerized by those brows. Why have I never noticed how great her brows are?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To get the eyes right, you need a few shades of browns, i.e. a lighter colour for all over the lid, a medium shade (here it looks a little bronzy) for the crease, and something uber-dark for lining around the lashes. (I'd also suggest a black or dark brown eyeliner or liquid liner... or you could just wet an angled brush to apply the darkest shade of shadow for a liner effect.) And go for black mascara, not brown.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sephora has a neat little palette that I was going to post about later (and may still do so) but what the heck—I'll tell you about it now: the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P247241&amp;categoryId=RVP" target="_blank">Brown Smoky Eyes Palette</a>. It's $49 and even comes with step-by-step instructions in case the above was insufficient.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And oh! The brows. My all-time favourite, as I've mentioned before, is <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/08/31/wearing-makeup-like-its-1929-dior-jazzclub-autumn-look/" target="_blank">Dior's Brow Styler</a>. It. Is. Amazing. Did you know that unless you've got VERY dark skin or VERY dark hair, 99% of us will suffice with filling in our brows with a light taupe-ish colour? So this pencil should suit, well, just about everyone. Run, do not walk, to snatch it up now.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Et voila! You look like Kate.</p>
