Florence Pugh's Spiky Two-Inch Eyelashes Make Clumpy Mascara Chic
The 'Oppenheimer' star's goth-glam makeup took spidery lashes to new heights at London Fashion Week.


Florence Pugh's eyelashes have me questioning everything I know about the best mascara application. For years, I was operating under the misguided notion that lashes should channel one of two vibes: long and softly defined or voluminous and dramatic. But after catching sight of these pitch-black, punk-rock feather dusters at London Fashion Week, my eyes have definitely been opened to new possibilities.
On Feb. 20, the Oppenheimer actor opened Harris Reed’s Autumn/Winter 2025 show at the Tate Britain with a bang—in large part thanks to her spidery lashes, which extended far past her defined brows. As she prowled around the room, Pugh could be heard making declarations like, "be unruly, be reckless, and be loud" as well as "be determined, be fearless, and always be too f–king much." Which is exactly what this stunning makeup look executed by Sofia Tilbury manages to achieve.
Meant to mimic the spiky spines of a sea urchin, the effect was achieved by placing fanned-out falsies on both her upper and lower lashlines, per British Vogue. Tilbury then followed up with a generous coating of Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara.

In contrast with her two-inch eyelashes, the rest of Pugh's face was kept understated with only contour, highlighter, and nude lipstick in addition to a dewy base. Her chiseled sculpt comes courtesy of Charlotte's Hollywood Contour, while her lips feature a combination of two pale pinks: K.I.S.S.I.N.G Satin Shine Lipstick in Penelope Pink and Matte Revolution Hydrating Lipstick in Kim KW.

Pugh really did look like a Disney villain with the horns of her black floor-length dress curling around her jaw—emphasizing her glam even further. We may be living in dark times, but this punk-rock runway beat couldn't have shone any brighter.
