How Do You Spell ROUGE?

1. Rouge refers to a cosmetic product typically used for adding a natural blush, color, or glow to the cheeks or face. The term can be applied to both the actual product and the specific shade or color used. Rouge is commonly available in the form of a powder, cream, or liquid, and is meant to enhance the appearance of the complexion by providing a subtle or vibrant touch of color to the cheeks, depending on personal preference or desired effect.

   Traditionally, rouge was made from various natural sources such as clay, berries, or plant extracts, but modern manufacturing techniques have allowed for the creation of a diverse range of synthetic or chemically derived shades. Rouge is often applied using a brush or sponge, gently blended into the skin for a natural, healthy-looking complexion.

   Aside from its cosmetic use, the term rouge can also be used metaphorically to refer to something or someone that is excessively showy, ostentatious, or flamboyant, often suggesting a lack of authenticity or depth. However, it is important to note that this colloquial usage is distinct from the cosmetic context and does not refer to the actual cosmetic product itself.

2. • Red.

   • To tinge the cheeks with rouge; to tinge or paint with rouge.
