cheek

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

'lip' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is' acts as a link.

'part' is the second definition.
(cheek is a kind of part)

'of' is a link.

'one's' is the third definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'face' is the fourth definition.
(I know that face can be written as cheek)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cheek that I've seen before include "Chap" , "Nerve - part of the face" , "lip, or nearby part of head" , "Effrontery" , "Informal impertinence from side of face" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
