a girl with too much make-up

Post by Lugre »

I need an adjective which means something like "with too much make-up", can you think of anything like that?

I suspect that overmade-up doesn't exist {-: .

Thanks, however I'm not sure it fits here:

That <?> whore, who had wanted the last handful of change in my pocket, had also already given it up.
