Forget about bright makeup, it's all about the nude.
The actresses on this week's best beauty list glowed and glowed some more. We had Connie Britton radiating like the goddess she is, with subtle shimmer on her eyelids and a light pink flush that brought out her natural freckles. Then there's Gabrielle Union, who is fiercely continuing her glimmering red carpet reign with an almost gradient flesh-toned lip.
See these two ladies and the others who are convincing us to go nude for the rest of summer. With our makeup, we mean.
OK, OK, so the "Nashville" star always wins with her shiny and wavy hair. But it was her shimmery eyeshadow, voluminous lashes and her pale pink lips that had her looking bright like a diamond. Try a similar look with NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss.
Union glows from all corners of her headspace, including her jet black locks and lightly dusted cheeks. What really puts this whole look together is her tightly-lined eyeliner, which adds to her overall sex appeal. Transform your eyes with these eye makeup tips.
The 17-year-old star already made waves this week with the itty-bitty frock she wore to the Teen Choice Awards. Her makeup game was also on point -- her dewey skin was complemented with golden brown tones that kept her looking fresh. Make this look an everyday staple with the Bobbi Brown Face Touch-Up Palette.
Let the "Pretty Little Liars" battle begin. First, there's Hale's exquisite example of the simple lip and bold eye combination. The silvery-blue makeup smolders against her green-grey eyes and is a great alternative to black liner. Try a matte MAC Cosmetics nude lipstick for a similar look.
Then we have the true MVP, Mitchell, who used neutral tones to her face's advantage. With a touch of bronzing powder and well-blended eyeshadow, her nude lips are the icing on the cake. Get your hand on a contouring kit, like Anastasia's, for a similar look.
