Luna Maya Excited to Appear Without Makeup in the Film 'SUKMA', Here’s Why

Luna Maya once again demonstrates her dedication to acting in the latest horror film titled SUKMA. Playing the role of Arini, Luna admits she received an unusual challenge from the director, Baim Wong. Instead of being asked to look beautiful, she was actually prohibited from using any makeup at all.

According to her, Baim's request to appear natural and disheveled was one of the reasons that attracted her to this project. Interestingly, Luna claims to be very happy with the challenge for practical reasons.

"The first thing he asked me was, 'Is it okay if you don't wear makeup?' Oh, I was so happy. So happy. Why? I can sleep longer," said Luna Maya at Gandaria City, South Jakarta, on Monday (8/9/2025).
