Julianne Moore Looks Absolutely Radiant Without Makeup

With Julianne Moore’s porcelain skin, it’s easy to see that she takes good care of herself, inside and out. During makeup artist Gucci Westman’s “Makeup & Friends” episode in February 2020, a fresh-faced Moore shared her secret for beautiful skin. “I stayed out of the sun. I know that’s super boring, but I think that really, really makes a big difference,” she said. As Westman applied foundation that nailed the no-makeup look, Moore recalled being pressured to pile on the makeup early on in her career and disliking the effects of outdated makeup trends such as overly defined brows and lips. “It took me a really, really long time to learn how to ask for less,” Moore added.

When it comes to makeup these days, Moore can take it or leave it. “I think that makeup is something that you should want to wear, but you shouldn’t feel like you have to. I think it’s an antiquated idea, this idea that we put makeup on to cover something up, to cover up our flaws, or to look professional,” she told Glamour in 2023. The “Dear Evan Hansen” star added, “If it makes you feel confident or professional, that’s great. If it does not make you feel that way, then don’t use it in that capacity. I think that’s the most important thing.”
