Invent cosmetics (4-2)
I believe the answer is:
make-up
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'invent' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'cosmetics?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for make-up that I've seen before include "Composition - cosmetics" , "foundation?" , "Supplement" , "Bury the hatchet" , "Heal breach, become friends again" .)
