blush
A cosmetic product, usually in powder or cream form, that is applied to the cheeks to give them a reddish color and a fresh look.
Sie trug nur etwas Wimperntusche und ein wenig Rouge auf.
She applied only some mascara and a little blush.
The word 'Rouge' comes directly from French and means 'red' there. This origin helps you remember the meaning, since the product gives the cheeks a red color.
Für einen natürlichen Look verwendet sie nur ein bisschen Rouge.
For a natural look, she uses only a little blush.
In connection with cosmetics, 'Rouge' is almost always used with the verb 'auftragen' (to apply). You apply blush to the cheeks.
Ich zeige dir, wie man Rouge richtig aufträgt.
I'll show you how to apply blush correctly.
Since blush is used subtly, it often appears with indefinite quantity expressions such as 'etwas' (some/a little), 'ein wenig' (a little), or 'ein Hauch von' (a touch of).
Ein Hauch von Rouge lässt das Gesicht frischer aussehen.
A touch of blush makes the face look fresher.
