Information about manicure tool picked up in beauty work? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
face-lift
'beauty work?' is the definition.
'face lift' can be an answer for 'work?' (face lift is a kind of work). I am not sure about the 'beauty' bit.
'information about manicure tool picked up' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'fact' (fact is a kind of information).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'manicure tool' becomes 'file' (I've seen this in another clue).
'picked up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'file' back-to-front is 'elif'.
'fact' going around 'elif' is 'FACE-LIFT'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for face-lift that I've seen before include "Cosmetic operation of elevated nature" , "Elevation of visage in cosmetic surgery" , "Cosmetic treatment" , "Cosmetic surgery to remove signs of aging" , "Renovation of building or visage?" .)
