Please help!! what is the meaning of " No, she left red and white" in the following text?

She had the largest of hoops and the handsomest of furbelows, and once a month (under my Lord Bagwig's cover) would come a letter from London containing the newest account of the fashions there. Her complexion was so brilliant that she had no call to use rouge, as was the mode in those days. No, she left red and white, she said (and hence the reader may imagine how the two ladies hated each other) to Madam Brady, whose yellow complexion no plaster could alter.

Hello Kelly,

This text is from a book written in a very old-fashioned style and the meaning is not clear. I would however say that it appears that she does not use either rouge (a red powder to make the cheeks red) or white (pancake) which was common in the period when this text was written - 'she left red and white' = she did not use them.

Hope this helps

Bob
