no makeup

Natural skin showing

No makeup describes a face without cosmetics, or the choice to go without them.

The phrase often appears in contexts of authenticity or natural beauty: She posted a no makeup selfie.

Paradoxically, "no makeup makeup" refers to cosmetics applied to look like you're not wearing any.
