With his sidekick Noir Cop?

I was thinking more like his boss Lieutenant Mascara.

His job is to arrest people who misuse rouge and other makeup tools. Just like a traffic cop maintains order on the roads; the rouge cop must make sure that faces are properly made up. Rouge abuse is a terrible thing.

This made Brian's and my day. And I have an image of a policeman with great big red circles of rouge on his cheeks, like some sort of demented doll.
