17 Times Florence Pugh Went Makeup-Free And Looked Flawless
Florence Pugh is the ultimate "it" girl. Not only has she been showing off her acting range in indie movies like "A Good Person" and big-time blockbusters like "Dune," but she's been showing off her amazing, (and often makeup-free) looks, too. Pugh has pushed the envelope when it comes to red carpet styles, like the nipple-freeing hot pink tule Valentino dress she wore to the 2022 Valentino fashion show in Rome (which was definitely an iconic celebrity naked dress moment), or the ethereal black dress she wore to the 2022 Venice Film Festival. However, fashion isn't the only area where she's bucking norms — she's also redefining the importance of makeup when it comes to looking polished.
Along with showing that you can ditch your bra (even on the red carpet!), she's also shown that makeup can be optional, too. From relaxing at home to hitting the pub with friends, Pugh has loads of natural looks on her Instagram grid that prove going sans makeup can be just as stylish and fun as any makeup trend.
Florence is sans makeup as she learns she's nominated for an Oscar
In 2020, Florence Pugh was nominated for an Oscar for her role as Amy in "Little Women." Right before getting the news, she had a picture snapped that not only caught the excitement but also how you can look fresh-faced and glowing without makeup. This moment in bed with mussed hair feels unguarded and is a great example of how to embrace your skin first thing in the morning.
Pouty lips and glowing skin
In February 2020, Florence Pugh posted a playful and makeup-free pouting pic, showcasing her bare skin. Having forgotten her mask, the rising star employed her improvisational skills: "Cotton pad doused in lavender essential oils, then hold up by pouting lips," she wrote in the caption.
Messy locks and makeup-free skin
Flashing a peace sign and a small smile, Florence Pugh shows off her new bangs and bare skin in an October 2020 Instagram post. Getting bangs can be a time of transition, and they may not be easy to style at first, even if you love them. Pugh gets honest about this in her caption, writing, "When you have no idea how to style the new fringe and going to sleep with wet hair is no longer an option." We have to admit, the mussed bangs and the no-makeup look make her even more relatable.
Bare-faced Flo is all about voting
In an Instagram post from November 2020, Florence Pugh looks like she's ready to make a difference in her white "Hooray for Voting" T-shirt, loose shoulder-length hair, long burgundy nails, and healthy, makeup-free skin. This look doesn't just rock in a laid-back way — it also totally proves that you don't need to wear makeup to stand out or make a statement.
Florence shows off her healthy sun-kissed skin
In an April 2021 Instagram post that Florence Pugh captioned "summer colors coming out," we not only see Pugh relaxing as she shows off her bold and feminine summer style, but we also get to see her glowing sun-kissed summer skin, sans makeup. The whole look is pulled together with simple white nail polish, and some well-groomed, healthy eyebrows.
Florence grabs a Guinness and goes without makeup
Even though Florence Pugh tacked the hashtag #ilooklikegollum onto her Insta post from August 2021, it's clear that she and her skin look amazing. Grabbing a Guinness and making a goofy face, you can see that her skin is literally shining and that her hair and nails look natural, too. It's great evidence that makeup is not required to go out for a night on the town.
Bare-faced Flo gives a goofy smirk
In this throwback photo posted in September 2021, a hair-curler-wearing Florence Pugh is entertaining herself by crossing her eyes and giving a goofy smirk while getting her locks done. Something she isn't wearing, though, is makeup. Here, we get a close look at her natural skin tone and texture.
A cute coat and clean skin
Wearing a black puffer coat with colorful embroidery, we get another look at Florence Pugh's healthy, clean skin in this post from November 2021. With the bottom half of her face tucked into her collar, Pugh's hair looks wet and is slicked back, further highlighting her softly glowing natural skin and hazel eyes.
A fresh face and a fresh piercing
In December 2021, Florence Pugh chronicled her experience of getting a new piercing, sans makeup, of course. Her bare skin looks clean and polished as she lounges with a sucker. From her relaxed pose, you would never guess that she'd just recovered from fainting while getting her septum piercing.
Relaxing and glowing
Christmas seems to be a perfect day for relaxing for Florence Pugh — or recovering from a hangover. Laying in bed with tweezers and an exfoliating foot mask in another December 2021 post, it looks like she's ready for a serious spa day (not that she needs it). Here her makeup-less skin looks nourished, bright, and smooth.
Bare skin and birthday shoutouts
In addition to showing off her bare skin in a put-together look, Florence Pugh gives a friend a birthday shoutout (and sticks a finger up her nose) in this July 2022 Instagram post. The silliness of the pose is in contrast with Pugh's seriously polished look, which included pulled-back hair, layered gold necklaces, gold hoop earrings, and silver rings.
Florence goes makeup-free for a walk
On Valentine's Day 2023, Florence Pugh was out on the town taking a stroll and singing the praises of the movie "Puss in Boots" to her Insta followers. Along with this no-makeup look, Pugh was also wearing a pop of cobalt blue and some delicate silver hoop earrings.
Clean skin and fun times
Florence Pugh's Instagram post about "A Good Person" (a movie she worked on with her ex Zach Braff) from March 2023 sees the actor makeup-free once again. Making a funny grimace with her co-star Celeste O'Connor sitting on her lap, you can see just how at ease she is going makeup-free, and how much fun she has while doing it, too.
Bare skin at the beach
In the summer of 2023, Florence Pugh had a blast at the beach with her friend and her friend's child. Here, we get another snapshot of her glowing, healthy summer skin — and her cute beach accessories. With a hat and some trendy cat's eye sunglasses, it's clear Pugh knows how to look after her skin.
Going makeup-free in Tokyo
Time and time again, Florence Pugh proves that you don't need to wear makeup to look great or have a good time. In Tokyo in September 2023, she posted a picture of herself with short bleached hair, going makeup-free, and laughing hard with her friend due to some jet-lag-induced loopiness.
Flo gets cooking with clean skin
In an October 2023 post for her series "Cooking with Flo," Florence Pugh poses in the kitchen. Clean-skinned, she sneers slightly as she holds a knife in one hand and a mortar and pestle in the other. Her short bleached hair is brushed back slightly, and she accessorized her makeup-free look with some black nails (a classic color you can never go wrong with) and a square silver watch.
Ditching makeup and eating ice cream
In a post from January 2024, Florence Pugh breaks down her ideal itinerary while in Rome, and it involves a lot of food, but not necessarily any makeup. Grinning and eating gelato, Pugh posted a glowing pic of herself in dark sunglasses and a hoodie.
