rouging
Adding cheek color
Rouging is the application of rouge—red cosmetic powder or cream used to color the cheeks or lips.
The term appears in contexts from theatrical makeup to Victorian beauty practices: She spent an hour rouging and powdering before the ball.
In industrial contexts, rouging refers to a reddish-brown corrosion that forms on stainless steel surfaces, particularly in pharmaceutical and biotech equipment.
