Answer

BLUSH

This word can function as both a verb meaning to turn red from embarrassment or emotion, and a noun referring to the rosy color itself or a cosmetic product applied to the cheeks. The word comes from Old English 'blyscan' meaning to shine or glow. In the makeup world, it refers to the powder or cream applied to add color to the cheeks.
