Bit of cream

DAB

["Think of a small, gentle touch often used when applying makeup or ointment with your fingertip."]

"Bit of cream" hints at a small amount of something creamy, but the answer "DAB" plays on two meanings. First, a "dab" can be a light touch or small amount, like dipping your finger in cream. Second, it’s a clever nod to "dabbing" in slang—though here, the focus is on the literal sense of a tiny portion, making it a straightforward but clever misdirection.
