Men don't actually like the no-makeup look. They just can't tell the difference between natural makeup and no-makeup. They think we naturally have long dark eyelashes, pink glossy lips, and no bags under our eyes.

Some men really do, but I, as a man, also agree with you that a lot of men are not aware that what seems natural is actually done with makeup a lot of times.
Two reasons:
1. light makeup is so ubiquitous that we're used to it
2. the point of make up is to make women look better (and that doesn't necessarily mean conspicuous)

Men think make up is the out-there, full cosplay look. They actually have no idea make up can achieve an improved, but natural look. Literally anyone who is in a Hollywood production has makeup on, even the men.

Rubbish. You are making a sweeping generalisation. My wife has worn make-up for exactly 1 day in 9 years, our wedding day.
