fard
To apply cosmetics.
To apply cosmetics.
- Holding a candle dramatically high, wrapped in a veryshabby old housegown, with some kind of fard on hercheeks and her grey hair screwed up in short plaits
- She's farded inch-thick with affectation. She'sperfumed to suffocation with the musk of pretence.The colour on her cheek is part paint, part mock-modesty.
- -- Mary Cowden Clarke, The Girlhood ofShakespeare's Heroines
