No eyes. No mouth, no nose. Hair and ears, yes, but anything that looked like a face... torn away. A white, irregular patch that grew and shrunk as [Yuri] watched.

— A description of Hiroaka/MC from the Doki Doki Literature Club Loops

Leafa: Yeah, no, I ain't buying it! That butthead knows I'd never be caught dead playing a girly game like this! This is all clearly all part of some elaborate revenge plot, just admit it!
Yui: (sigh) A pity. If you will not listen to reason, perhaps more... drastic methods will be necessary.
Leafa: Ha! Nice try, kid, but you've got a terrible poker face.
Yui: At least I still have a face. (giggles)
Leafa: What's that supposed to mean—?

Literature

"He never could paint people," Sam whispers. "He always left them out. Painted everything empty. Even when he drew himself, he couldn't do features..."
The figure turns, and Thibault glimpses its faceless face. Empty. A faint graphite sweep where there should be eyes. Blank as an egg. A poor, cowardly rendition, by a young, bad artist.

— The Last Days Of New Paris

They had no faces. Just utterly blank expanses of skin, from chin to brow. They had no eyes, but they could still see. No ears, but they could hear. No mouths or noses, but then, they didn't need to breathe. There was something uniquely horrid about the sight, an offence against nature and common sense, foul enough to sicken any sane man.

Oh dear. You can't see. You can't breathe. Unpleasant, isn't it? Do you submit? You won't die, you know. No one dies in here unless I want them to. I can keep you like this forever if I feel like it. Forever gasping for breath with a mouth that isn't there.

While you were sleeping, your nose, eyes, and mouth left, followed soon after by all your facial hair. Any moles, warts, and scars felt lonely, so they left, too. When you awake, you discover you are now featureless. Though you lose your eyes, nose, and mouth, your senses are not impaired in any way, and you no longer need to take in food or drink to survive, though the pangs of hunger are forever after a constant scourge.

— The "Featureless Face" Flaw, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Tome Of Corruption

The gathered Sabbat howled and descended upon Andy, but Sascha held them back with a gesture. It then passed its hand over Andy's face, burying his mouth, eyes, ears and nose behind a shield of skull-bone and flesh. While Andy twitched and convulsed, suffocating to death, Sascha told the closest Cainite, "Embrace him."
Andy awoke on a garbage pile, his world dark, silent and in raging torment.

Staring? I wasn't staring! I don't even have a face!

The hand encloses your face. A twist, a wrench, and it retreats with something ragged clutched between its fingers. It hardly hurts at all. If anything, it feels as though a weight has been lifted.
Your new reality becomes apparent only when you touch your face, and feel nothing but an expanse of brute blank flesh. Your vision dims, as though a grey veil has closed over the world. With some effort, you are able to manifest a lipless slit of a mouth, which screams.
You have passed the Test of Substance, and your face is gone.
