Details
Our exclusive acne-safe Velvet Foundation combines natural minerals to illuminate the complexion, with the added benefit of skin-nurturing botanicals and extracts. This formula includes our proprietary DERMA-CBI™ Complex which targets irritated and inflamed skin conditions.
Our Velvet Foundation is not runny like a liquid foundation nor is it hard like a traditional stick foundation- it's in between the two. The texture is softer, like butter, and it provides a beautiful, customizable medium-to-full coverage finish that feels like silk. Easy to apply and blends out seamlessly for a radiant-looking complexion. Velvet Foundation offers versatility too as it can double as creamy concealer.
With PRIIA's Velvet Foundation, you can achieve a radiant-looking, air-brushed complexion in a matter of minutes. This uber soft & skin-conditioning foundation is perfect for use after facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser procedures.
Suitable For ALL Skin Types. Demi-Matte Finish.

There are several Priia products that I really enjoy so I was sad that the Velvet Foundation was not one of them, especially since I have been searching for a foundation free of pore-cloggers. The product texture is not smooth and pills up when applied. At first, I thought it could be because of my moisturizer or skincare, but I tried for several days with different products underneath and application methods, and every time the foundation would pill. Then I noticed the product was grainy/clumpy and not smooth in the container even before applying. I ordered several samples to try out and did not experience the texture issue, potentially because the samples are smaller amounts or the batch was mixed differently. Disappointing that the full-size product performed differently from the samples, especially since I purchased 2 full-size products to mix colors. Waste of money :(
***PRIIA's RESPONSE: Hello Sydney, thank you for your response. Please note that makeup pilling will happen when the foundation cannot 'stick' to the skin. This means that either there's too much skincare product sitting on the surface of the skin or there's a compatibility issue. Please be aware that our sample sizes are made from the same batches as our full-sizes. When applying the Velvet Foundation from the jar, scoop out a small amount to the back of your hand. Then apply to your skin. The warmth from your skin 'warms' up the product so that it blends out easily.

I've tried many foundations, but this is by far the best one and my favorite. It gives such a natural look, I love the feel, great coverage, and you only need a tiny bit. I apply it with the PRIIA foundations brush and it goes on beautifully. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This is the most beautiful liquid foundation I have ever tried. It feels weightless and offers full coverage with a dewy finish. My ONLY complaint is that I went through nearly the entire bottle in 3 weeks! For the price I would appreciate more product. For now, I'll save it as my special occasion foundation.
***PRIIA's Response: Thank you for your feedback! You’ll be happy to know that our Velvet Foundation is getting a packaging upgrade soon! The new packaging will be in a beautiful jar with a full 1 oz of product so that you can use it up to the very last drop!

I have been using Priia products since I was 14 years old and struggled with cystic acne. I'm sure I have used all their products if not then most, but this is literally one of their best products yet. Compared to the foundation sticks or powder, this velvet foundation gives medium to full coverage with easy build up for hyper pigmentated spots or scarring and it really is super velvety! I currently have some eczema flare ups on my face and even with this foundation it managed to cover a lot of redness and made my skin look dewy. I truly hope they don't change or replace this product, it is amazing and perfect.

I recently switched from using my MAC foundation because it was breaking me out so bad. I ordered samples of this Velvet foundation and was blown away by not only the super smooth texture but also the coverage! I found my perfect color which is Neutral beige and I'm never going back to any other foundation! I've also noticed that my skin is calming down- much less inflammation.

I will be completely honest, I was so nervous it wouldn't compare to the previous creme foundation which was my fave. But I am BLOWN AWAY by the velvet! 1st off, that's seriously the perfect name for it bc that's exactly how it looks on my skin...soft and smooth like velvet! Also I'm a Texas gal so I loveeee how lightweight it is! Feels like I'm wearing a moisturizer. Thank y'all for creating amazing products!!

Love it! Goes on smooth and covers beautifully. Very happy.

I was so sad when priia discontinued their liquid foundation! I took a chance ordering a full size velvet foundation bottle in my color (warm beige). My order arrived this morning and I immediately had to try the foundation. I absolutely LOVE it! It applies so easy and I blended it with the blurring foundation brush and set it with hydracontrol powder. My skin looks gorgeous! My husband even mentioned that my makeup looks pretty. That alone is a miracle! To note: I am 53 years young and I still struggle with hormonal acne. This velvet foundation along with my other priia products makes me feel totally confident when I go out into the world!
