How Do You Prefer Keira Knightley's Bangs?

January 27, 2009

Actress Keira Knightley has been the face of Chanel for several years, so it's no surprise that she attended the house's haute couture show. Her Jane Birkin-style bangs and sultry makeup did not disappoint. To contrast with her traditional clothing and play up her blunt fringe, makeup artist Kay Montano focused on Keira's eyes for a smoky effect. (Try layering the chocolate plum shade from Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes over Chanel Intense Eye Pencil in Ambre for the same effect.) So what do you think about Keira's new face-framing bangs? Do they play up her brown eyes and dark features, or do you prefer her in a more side-swept style?

Definatley side swept, I'm not a fan of short, heavy fringes. She can pull it off because she does have a square face and a high hairline but the side swept looks softer and pretty! I have the side sweep exactly like that though! LOL!

Side swept - definitely. I think we need to leave the blunt bangs for the catwalk or cartoon le femme avatars and five year old girls. :makeup:

Side swept... the blunt are too harsh. She looks best with no bangs at all but then again she's soo pretty she can do anything she wants. If she dyed her hair hot pink and blue she's still look fab

I like the blunt bangs on her. Then again, i have the exact same hair cut so I am biased. I also like her without bangs at all.

I like the blunt. But it just makes her, uh, not look like her anymore. Maybe that's why I like it, lol.

I like the blunt bangs here--they give her a sharper and more unusual look than the soft prettiness (not that she's not so pretty she couldn't pull anything off).
