bald face

Without any hair

A bald face is a white marking on an animal's face, especially a horse or cow, typically covering most of the forehead and extending down the nose.

The term also appears as an adjective meaning shameless or undisguised: a bald-faced lie is one told without any attempt at concealment.

This sense overlaps with bold-faced, though bald-faced emphasizes the brazenness of the act.
