Makeup applied with aggressive intent (8)
I believe the answer is:
warpaint
'aggressive intent' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'makeup applied with' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'makeup' could be 'paint' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'paint' is present in the answer.
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ar' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for warpaint that I've seen before include "what belligerent Indian wore" , "Given slap" , "Make-up (for native Americans?)" .)
