However, I think my foggy point was that it was unheard of for a lady to wear rouge in Anne’s time. Definitely not something Anne would have aspired to!

Only one point – rouge wasn’t unheard of in Anne’s day (well, at least not in Anne’s twenties). From Anne of Windy Poplars:

“Pauline had to pass her mother’s inspection before leaving. Excitement over her outing and guilt in regard to the hidden poplin combined to give her a very unusual flush. Mrs. Gibson gazed at her discontentedly.

“Oh me, oh my! Going to London to look at the Queen, are we? You’ve got too much color. People will think you’re painted. Are you sure you ain’t?”

“Oh, no, Ma . . . no,” in shocked tones.”
