詐欺メイク

• 読み: さぎメイク
• ローマ字: sagi meiku
• 漢字の分解: 詐 (deceive) + 欺 (cheat) + メイク (makeup) → deceptive/fraud makeup
• 発音: /sa.ɡi me.i.kɯ/

意味

Deceptive makeup that makes someone look like a completely different person.

詐欺メイク literally means 'fraud makeup' and describes makeup that transforms someone so dramatically they appear to be a different person. Unlike 整形級メイク which is purely complimentary, 詐欺メイク has a more playful, self-deprecating edge — many creators use it about themselves with humour. The term acknowledges the 'deception' while celebrating the artistry. It often appears in viral before-and-after videos.

例文

1. 私のメイクは完全に詐欺メイクだから、すっぴん見せられない。
