A waxy stick of coloring for your lips and usually sold in a case that is shaped like a small cylinder.

My wife bought a 60-dollar tube of lipstick at Macy's Department Store in New York!

Usually a powder-type cosmetic used with a puff or pad and applied to the cheekbones to add color to your face.

The young woman lightly powdered her cheeks with rouge to give her face a little bit of color.
