I found this using lipstick - Her blue eyes were accentuated with a tasteful application of eye shadow and mascara, her cheeks and lips delicately colored with rouge and lipstick.
What do you think?
Mod
i had in mind things like "lipstick red nail polish" or "lipstick red car" or that type of thing. but as long as it has reference to being a color."
I'll hang on to it and see if I find another reference!

I now we're supposed to find two words if it says so, but I think in this sentence the color-context is quite clear: “…white stars were coming out in the cobalt sky.”
May I use it for "cobalt blue"?
JoAnne wrote: "I'm going to say yes....."Thanks :-) I'll still keep looking for both words together...
I have another question: Do we need to find turquoise and teal twice, once for green and once for blue?
Mod
Yes. It will be easy. I found them pretty quickly. There is one word in both gray and black too- charcoal.
Ah - good to know! They shouldn't be too difficult to find, I agree. Thanks for the fast answer!
