Representative for male make-up? (5)
I believe the answer is:
proxy
'representative' is the definition.
(I know that proxy is a type of agent)
'for male make-up?' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something).
'male make-up?' becomes 'xy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pro'+'xy'='PROXY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for proxy that I've seen before include "Authorised substitute" , "Person authorised to act on behalf of another" , "Authorised representative" , "Agent (for eg voting)" , "Authorised deputy" .)
