She had removed her light makeup. revealing a fair face that exuded a hint of youthfulness. She looked like a girl who had just turned eighteen, especially in her extremely conservative, soft pink loungewear.

Had it not been for the clothes she was wearing, he would have thought she had deliberately come downstairs again to seduce him.
