It seems like the era of High Definition Freakout is almost over. When HD came onto the scene, celebs wouldn't leave the house without 15 pounds of makeup on their faces, making every red carpet just a few levels away from a clown convention. Now, celebs are highlighting one main feature and keeping everything else subtle - a simple way of highlighting natural beauty without slathering on the paint.
It looks like actress Meagan Good is finally finding a hair and makeup combo that makes her look sexy and very grown-up. Her new cut, combined with her berry lip and cute halter, gives her definite rock star appeal.

In a rare moment in red carpet beauty, Rashidah Ali skips the eyeshadow and blush altogether and goes for stand-out lashes and a light pink lip.

At the 2nd annual Producer's Guild Awards, actress Kerry Washington is nearly-natural with brown eyeshadow and a nude lip.

Singer Adrienne Bailon displays an example of red lipstick done right at shoe store owner and 'Basketball Wives' part-timer Rashidah Ali's birthday party at Greenhouse in New York City.

When you get a cute, face-framing cut, you don't need much makeup on your face to have all eyes on you. Singer Kelly Rowland goes for the understated look with a subtly smoky eye and not much else.

Look closely – see that super-subtle pink shade on Janelle Monae's cheeks? That's one cute, surefire way to combine a pink cheek and red lip without looking clownish. Good job!
