Reviews about Clarins Skin Illusion Velvet

I am very satisfied with this product. The cream has a lightweight texture and effectively covers all imperfections without causing any inflammation.

I bought it from a different place. I have normal skin with an oily T-zone, redness on the sides of my nose, and a few spots from inflammation, but it's not critical, overall it's fine.

So, I am delighted with this cream. It leaves a matte finish that looks very natural, not like it's completely covered with powder. It looks very beautiful and I don't even need to powder it. It's exactly what I wanted because I'm not a fan of the trend for dewy skin. It has good coverage and it's long-lasting even in hot weather. BUT! It's impossible to apply it on prepared and moisturized skin! Maybe matte foundations need to be applied differently... I tried applying it after the cream had absorbed, a non-greasy one. With a sponge, brush, silicone sponge, nothing worked! I thought it would just sit on the shelf and gather dust. I washed my face, applied the well-known aloe gel from Holika, waited for it to absorb, and that's when I managed to apply it with a brush. But that didn't stop it from taking the first place in my list of favorites.
