The pale-faced bare-eye is 16.5 to 17.5 cm (6.5 to 6.9 in) long and weighs about 50 g (1.8 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults have long white feathers on their forehead and lores, stiff black feathers above their eye, and a patch of bare whitish skin behind it. Their crown is dark rufous. Their upperparts are dark olive-brown with a scattering of black bars on the back. Their wings are chestnut and their tail blackish brown with a browner base. Their throat and breast are cinnamon-rufous with a band of black and white bars below them. The rest of their underparts are dull brown. Voice: The pale-faced bare-eye's song is "2-3 very high, long, slightly descending notes, the last one esp. rather mournful". Its calls include a "loud 'psit', a descending 'chirr' diminishing in intensity, and a series of deep short notes delivered rapidly and usually descending in pitch".
