putting on

The putting-on-lip gloss shot almost never makes sense, but it always, always, works.

The rustling of flowers, the putting-on of the feathery sleeve; they bend in air with the dancing.

Keep your everlasting stewing and fussing and hysterical putting-on to yourself!

First came weariness, then impatience, and last a passing-away of all things old and a putting-on of things new.
