I'm more confused than ever now....

I NEVER put it on, but I was fascinated by my mom's stash of cosmetic's as a kid!

She had two compacts, and several tubes of lipsticks. She said the bigger compact was pancake makeup and the small one was rouge (it was sorta reddish in color). First she'd apply the pancake makeup, then on her cheeks she'd apply the rouge. I only ever saw her apply lipstick to her lips.
