fard - n., facial cosmetics.
Also a verb, to paint (a face) with cosmetics, which also gave the obsolete sense of to gloss over something. In use since the 15th century, from Old French farder, to apply makeup, from a Germanic root, possibly Old High German farwjan, to color, tinge, thus a cognate of modern German farbe, color.
