Definitions

A makeover in which the quality, flashiness or value of something is downgraded.

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.”
