gay as paint 

Gay as Paint is a bygone term that originally was used to describe something that had been painted in bright vivid colors (when gay meant bright, vivacious and sparkling before its association with homosexuals). Thus, to be gay as paint meant something was as "gay (bright) as paint...made it possible"

Jacqueline Onassis has been quoted using that term to describe Truman Capote. In a conversation she had with Joan Kennedy, the latter asked if Capote was gay... Jackie replied, "He's so gay, he's gay as paint." By then the term had morphed to describe flamboyant homosexuals in a tongue-in-cheek nod to the reframing of gay as a homosexual term.
"He's so gay, he is gay as paint."

War Paint 

An overabundance of cosmetics applied to a woman's face for the purpose of hiding what lies beneath. Typically there are a few giveaways such as:

-a distinctly different skin tone transition occurring right under the jawline.

-A chalky texture to the face due to outer layers of base starting to break free.
"I was going to go home with the girl from the club, but given the lighting circumstances and all the War Paint she was wearing, there's a good chance I would've woke up next to a Butterface"
