Which doesn't necessarily mean the color red in French.

french rouge and english red correspond to mostly the same shades of red, though. if you did a detailed study, you might find a slight difference but that's it.

It's often used to refer to cosmetic for coloring the lips.

No one calls it "rouge" in France. It's always referred to as "rouge à lèvres" (lit. "red for lips").
