Using this nice theme, I realized I couldn't see any flymake error or warning squiggles in a project of mine. I found out that things like flymake-error inherit from their flycheck-* counterpart, but I don't have flycheck installed at all, leading to that face not being defined (yet).
Since flymake is installed by default and flycheck isn't, the faces common to both syntax checkers should be inherited the other way around, removing this problem. I checked that flymake is now working as intended, afterwards installed flycheck and checked with describe-face that its faces are still correct as well.
