Best Answer

Shakespeare didn't define these phrases; he expected you to figure them out. In this case he didn't even use it: "paper-faced" does not appear in any of Shakespeare's works. But if it did, you could figure it out--what colour is paper?

An expression Shakespeare did actually use was "cream-faced" (in Macbeth), and since cream and paper are the same colour, it means the same thing.
