A new item has been added to the already overflowing stock on the cosmetic counter. With its arrival numerous reports of hypersensitivity may be anticipated. Liquid lip rouge is a red liquid, somewhat lighter in consistency than nail polish. Its justification for existence is based on the facts that it will not smear and that one application usually suffices for the day.

She discontinued the application of the lip rouge. The following day redness and swelling developed over the entire face. Blisters developed
