Mascara mishap (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smear

'mascara mishap' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for smear that I've seen before include "Badmouth" , "Dirty mark; aspersion" , "Slander - tissue sample used for testing" , "nasty mark" , "False report" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday, the Newsday.com, the USA Today, The Washington Post, The New York Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
