Makeunder

"Makeunder" in a Sentence (2 examples)

While some women need a makeover to add makeup, some women need a makeunder to take it down a notch.

The typical candidate for a makeunder is a woman who applies her makeup with too liberal a hand, styles her hair in a distracting or unattractive manner, or wears clothes that could be described as unflattering or over the top. The ideal candidate for a makeunder does all three of these simultaneously, mostly likely while upending a bottle of perfume into her cleavage.
