Femme fatale's make up (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vamp

I believe this is a double definition.

'femme fatale's' is the first definition.
(both can mean a seductive woman)

'make up' is the second definition.
(vamping is a kind of making up)

(Other definitions for vamp that I've seen before include "Unsophisticated musical improvisation" , "Improvise unskilfully" , "Femme fatale" , "Jazzy passage - temptress" , "Female seducer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
