Lovatts colossus stinker no 121

Hi maggies

I have "demi" for that one but someone else has suggest "dewy" on another thread.

Hi Dutchy and maggies,
Didn't keep a copy but I had "DEWY" for that one. Can either of you (or anyone) confirm the clue yielding the "y" (or "i")?

"demi" means "half".

Hi Lmur
178d = shiftier, for which you obviously have slyer. Upto now I have slier, because I have demi for lustrous (complexion). I can link 'demi' to lustrous but can't link 'dewy' to lustrous.

Show me the reference and connection and I'll happily change my entry to "dewy" . Show us your Irish wisdom.

ps. I'm at the moment 500 miles from home, using an old slow laptop when it is availabe, and have no reference books or my usual reference sites with me, so I'm a little handicapped. One thing I can tell you though, the fish are biting well, and my fridge will be full with seafood by the time I return home.

Hi Dutchy
I also have dewy for 193a, I am sure I have heard it on ads for face creams etc.
Glad you have been catching some fish.

Hi Dutchy,
Glad the fish are biting. I'm with jacaranda on this one. Dewy is a term often referred to regarding our lustrous complexions, so at 103a I have DEWY, and at 178d I have SLYER.
Have a great holiday.

Thank you jacaranda and shirlz, will take the advice of the majority. Catch you on my return homein 9 days time.

How?

Stick 'lustrous complexion demi' in Google and you'll get 3 sites.

Hi Dutchy,

I'm glad one or two others came along to demonstrate the error of your ways! I didn't have a reference! However with respect to this:

I asked my wife!!!

I actually got 6,900 hits with that, and all the ones where complexion and demi were included were ads for cosmetics which were "demi-matte" or "demi creme".

Demi means "half".

I rest my case.

I'm more confused now hubby seemed to think it was dewy
I'll think about it for a while thanks all

Maggies, it's 'dewy'.

Well done Contrex

Thanks contrex you made my day and hubbies
thanks again to all

Hi Dutchy,
If you type "Dewy Makeup" in the Google search you will find that the word "Dewy" comes up numerous times when referring to complexion.

Thank you Joy,

Dewy completion is the correct answer it is commonly associated with the skin, a "soft dewy completion" is an often used phrase.
