Price of makeup at the dollar store, informally?

BUCK-A-ROUGE (from “buckaroo”)

Think of a cowboy term that sounds like a bargain for blush—it’s not just a dollar, but a playful twist on the word.

This clue plays on the phrase "buck a" (meaning one dollar) combined with "rouge," a type of makeup like blush. The answer tweaks "buckaroo" (a cowboy term) into "BUCK-A-ROUGE" to sound like "a buck for rouge," hinting at cheap makeup. It’s a pun mixing slang for money with a beauty product you’d find at a dollar store.
