素颜终究抵不过浓妆
[sù yán zhōng jiū dĭ bù guò nóng zhuāng]
It means natural beauty ultimately doesn't measure up to heavy makeup. It implies that plain appearance will eventually fail compared with elaborately decorated ones, reflecting disappointment over unadorned looks or self-consciousness. Alternatively, sometimes, the wearer wants to highlight that the genuine inner/outer look cannot compete in this vain society.
