Lipstick smudge (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smear

'lipstick smudge' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for smear that I've seen before include "Blot or daub" , "Smother" , "sample on slide" , "Greasy or sticky mark" , "unpleasant mark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post and the Newsday.
