Tool for applying facial foundation? crossword clue
94 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 20, 2026 · 11 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Tool for applying facial foundation?” is VISAGEBRUSH. It appears as 94 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 20, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Six-Packs” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 11 squares running left to right from row 17, column 1 of the 21×21 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with V and ends with H, and contains 4 vowels and 7 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
