ROUGE

Rouge is a French word meaning red that has been adopted into English primarily to describe a red or pink cosmetic used to color the cheeks or lips. It became popular in English during the 18th century when French fashion and beauty standards heavily influenced European culture. The word can also be used as a verb meaning to apply rouge, or as an adjective describing something reddish in color.
