Ashley Benson Is Pretty In Pink (Makeup)

by Dana Reszutek

Move over smoky eye, it looks like something a little brighter is in for summer, and one actress showed us all how it's done. That's right, Ashley Benson rocked all-pink everything on the red carpet, and it was definitely a breath of fresh air in a sea of tried and true makeup looks.

I'm not talking a literally-Barbie (a la Kandee Johnson) makeup look (though that would be quite impressive), but the Pretty Little Liars star played up her sweet ensemble with subtle makeup in the famous doll's favorite color. Pairing a soft, pink eyeshadow with a pink lipstick, Benson opted for a unique take on monochromatic makeup that definitely read "simply pretty." Match that with natural brows, and Benson gives you the perfect daytime summer face.

All Benson followers know that this definitely isn't the first time she's gone for a simple, pretty look. The actress definitely opts for sweet and subtle makeup, whether it's on the cover of a magazine or taking an Instagram selfie. And when it comes to a natural look, Benson even calls out the use of Photoshop in ads, calling those images fake and unrealistic, so you know he's a fan of natural, realistic beauty.

Check out Benson's pretty-in-pink makeup, which matched her unique pink outfit on the red carpet:

For this red carpet appearance, Benson paired her bold, natural brows with a simple pop of color on her cheeks to make a perfect evening look.

Benson shows here that bold makeup is definitely not a must. Using a nude lipstick with a luminous foundation, she basically glows.

The actress uses peachy tones on her lips and cheeks to make her skin tone pop against her white outfit. Simply perfection.
