Breton overutilized? That is the question (2,2,2,3,2,2)

Let's be real: If the enumeration doesn't give away the answer, the definition certainly does. I just thought it was interesting that a real word could be constructed out of the larger answer. It also serves as a decent introduction to the type of indicator used here in case you've never seen it before.

Indicators: >!------------overutilized--------------!<

Fodder: >!---------------Breton---------------!<

Definition: >!--------That is the question----------!<

Additional hint: >!"Overutilized" is a letter bank indicator. What you do is you take the fodder term and put it in your "bank". You utilize as many letters as you need to construct the answer; duplicates are allowed and some letters may only have to be used once.!<

Buttkisser let lipstick run (11)

Indicators: >!-------------run--------------!<

I would have preferred to use a certain other word in the place of "butt" but I didn't want to risk having the clue get taken down.
