There was this anime movie that was released recently, I think in 2012 itself. It's name had two words, and it was quite reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell. Accordingly, it was futuristic, with a female android lead, who I think was a detective, and it was quite dark. Any ideas?

Could you be thinking of the Armitage III movies? They're older than 2012, but they did just get a rerelease for the first time in awhile. They're the only recent anime films I can think of with a female android cop.
No, I'm quite sure it was a standalone. Also, the main character had this make-up, which was like a thick line from one ear to the ear, over the eyes. Something like what the fashion models have, but I never could comprehend. I think.
There was a murder and some investigation involved, too. And the animation style was reminiscent of Innocence and Apple Seed.
