A high-coverage cream compact that hides redness and marks on sensitive skin
Avène Couvrance Compact Foundation Cream SPF30 is a high-coverage cream foundation for sensitive skin that needs immediate, lasting correction. It is designed to visibly cover marked imperfections such as redness, uneven pigmentation, light patches and small vascular marks, on the face as well as the body. The formula is 94% natural-origin, waterproof and holds for up to 12 hours, while SPF30 filters add UV protection. Shea butter and sunflower seed wax give an ultra-soft, creamy feel, and kaolin keeps the finish from turning greasy. It evens out the complexion with a natural finish, in Natural, Sand, Honey and Gold.
The texture
A creamy compact that blends into a thin, even layer, builds easily where you need more cover and sets to a non-greasy finish.
Who it suits
- Sensitive skin with visible redness or blotches
- Uneven pigmentation or light patches that need full cover
- Marks on the body as well as the face
- Anyone wanting one long-wear, water-resistant foundation
Worth knowing before you buy: It is waterproof, so remove it in the evening with a make-up remover such as Avène Micellar Lotion. Very oily skin may prefer the lighter Couvrance Fluid Foundation.
How long a compact lasts
With daily use on the face, the 8.5g compact lasts around two to three months; spot-correcting only, it lasts longer.
