Jena Malone finally reveals secret formula to Pride and Prejudice’s ‘no makeup’ look 

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has always stood the test of time, but a new generation of fans on TikTok are praising director Joe Wright’s 2005 film adaptation for its timeless “no makeup” look achieved on set.

For nearly 20 years, makeup artist Fae Hammond – who worked on the set of the Kiera Knightley movie – has maintained that “there was absolutely no makeup” used while shooting the film. This has recently led Pride and Prejudice fans to craft their own makeup tutorials, despite not knowing any of the products used at the time. However, actor Jena Malone – who played Lydia Bennet in the film – has now taken to TikTok to shed some light on Pride and Prejudice’s famed “no makeup” look.

Malone said. “I love that people respond to that film and the no makeup look.”

As she filmed herself applying her own foundation to her face, Malone revealed that the only cosmetic products used on set were sunscreen, eyebrow makeup, a lash curler, and even beetroot.

“So basically, we wore sunscreen, we did our brows. I remember occasionally we would curl our lashes,” she said. “Sometimes we would use beetroot to do a little bit of lip or a cheek or something. And that was it.”

Although Hammond is credited as lead makeup artist for Pride and Prejudice, Malone maintained that director Joe Wright was “the person behind the no-makeup makeup” look, adding: “He really wanted it to be very natural and of that era.”
