Avene Couvrance Compact Foundationcrea
This makeup comes in two versions, a cream form called Rich
Formula oil-free version which has more of a cream-to-powder
consiste ncy. My review is for the Rich Formula. Both versions claim
an SPF of 15. You apply the makeup by patting it on, using a sponge.
I would describe the coverage as medium. The consistency is slightly
oily and moist, which may be off-putting to some, and it may be that
the oil-free version is better for oily skin. I found the rich
formula fine on my own face which is dryish on most areas apart from
the nose. When I first tried it it showed up some flaking skin on my
forehead but the flakes seem to have almost gone with regular use.
This makeup did not cause any breakouts, and I don't find it
irritating or itch-inducing. Although it wears reasonably well you
may require a touch-up with it later in the day or evening - easily
done since it's in a compact with mirror.

Since submitting the above review I have changed product. I changed over to Clinique Almost Makeup because I was getting fed up with having a heavily madeup look which never really looked natural.

Rosacea Subtypes
Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea
characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.
Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea
characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.
Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids,
recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.
Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal
persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who
have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat,
cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory
papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where
flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop
intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous
enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
