Talk:blanc

RFV discussion: July–August 2022
Rfv-sense A white cosmetic. Wasn't able to find anything apart from code switching and expressions with more French words after blanc (blanc-fixe, blanc d'herbe, blanc de fard etc.). Added. &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 18:16, 12 July 2022 (UTC)


 * This came from one of the old dictionaries (probably Chambers 1908). 2020, Amelia Rauser, The Age of Undress (page 127) quotes "one commentator in 1804" (unfortunately not named) as having written: "Rouge is no longer used; pallor is more interesting. The ladies only use the blanc, and leave the rouge to the men." Other books mention longer French terms like blanc de fard. Equinox ◑ 20:05, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
