Avène Couvrance: a pretty finish, but not for my skin
It gives a pretty finish, but there's no shade light enough and I think it caused papules and pustules.
Avène Cicalfate+ serum: OK hydration, nothing special for redness
It hydrates OK, but I didn't notice anything special for redness. And the pump feels cheap.
Biologique Recherche P50W: a cult toner, but too aggressive for reactive skin
I'm not saying it's bad, but it's too aggressive for my reactive skin with rosacea.
Erborian CC Red Correct: beautiful coverage, but redder skin afterwards
It covers and neutralises redness beautifully, but after taking it off my skin was redder, with more papules and pustules.
Rhode Pocket Blush in Tan Line: the perfect blush
A lovely blush that blends easily, doesn't irritate me at all and looks like a natural flush from the sun. The only minus: it runs out fast.
Rhode lip liner: OK, but nothing special
It blends nicely, but it isn't precise and all the shades are somehow too dark for me. Catrice's soft liner is the better choice.
