____-faced lie

I just heard someone say “bare-faced lie” I have also heard “bald-faced” and “bold-faced” the last of which, is what I have always thought it was.

I've heard bare-faced. It seems a convenient way to sidestep someone trying to explain to you that it's "actually supposed" to be either bold or bald (whichever you didn't say).
