We've loved watching Isla Fisher rule the red carpet during the Great Gatsby press tour these past few weeks—changing up her looks from sleek ponytails to side swept loose waves, while always rocking bold bright lipsticks in pinks and reds. But seeing the star at the Australians in Film screening of Now You See Me in Los Angles had us doing a double take. Fisher let her hair down with minimal yet flattering make-up, and just made us think, "Summer is here!"

She loosely pulled back just a few sections of her signature red locks at the crown, as if it were an afterthought, and let the rest of her relaxed natural waves tumble over her shoulders.

The more we analyze this look, the more we kind of hate Isla for her perfect porcelain skin—especially since we know she's been on back-to-back press tours that have taken her all over the world. Shouldn't her skin look fatigued? We don't see even a hint of a dark circle under those eyes. 

Speaking of eyes, this brown-eyed girl knows how to accentuate her peepers by subtly lining her eyes with a shimmery champagne eye shadow and just one coat of mascara. 

As much as we've loved her statement lips these past few weeks, this sheer pink lip stain screams, "I don't feel like lugging along a lip pencil, lip brush and lipstick" and completes her look of simple summer chic.

Get the Look: Isla's hairstyle is perfect for  summer days when you just don't want to bother with drying your hair after a day at the beach.  If you weren't lucky enough to hit the beach to get that natural salt-water texture, try spraying Bumble and bumble Surf Spray on wet or damp hair, scrunch and let your locks air-dry.  

To get Isla's subtle eye makeup, use a flat eyeliner brush to apply a shimmery champagne shadow like Buxom Stay-There Eye Shadow in Sparkling Champagne to both your upper and lower lash lines. Then, use a cotton swab or smudge tool to blend the shadow into your lash lines. Complete the eyes with one coat of defining mascara like Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara, which has a special wand that helps define and separate lashes.

To complete this look, you'll want to use a pink-hued lip tint like Bite Beauty Lush Lip Tint in Watermelon, which drops a good dose of pigment and also has argan oil, vitamin E and fruit butters to hydrate and nourish lips.

We may go through a little Gatsby withdrawal and give in to a siren red lip every now and then. But, overall we think we're going to be emulating Isla's casual chic style until Labor Day. Now if only we could grow our hair that long and match our color that perfect shade of red. Ugh, are we being Single White Female again?
