What is the difference between Plush Plump and Velvet Blur?

Plush Plump is the hydrating version with biopeptides and a dewy finish. Velvet Blur is the pore-blurring version with niacinamide for a smoother, brighter look.

Is this primer good for oily skin?

Velvet Blur suits oily skin better than Plush Plump, but reviewers say neither controls shine strongly. Oily skin may still need a mattifying primer or powder.

Does it work as skincare too?

It carries skincare ingredients like biopeptides and niacinamide, but it is a makeup primer first. Treat any hydration or brightening as a bonus, not a replacement for your routine.

How much product do you get?

The tube holds 0.81 fl oz, in line with most drugstore primers. A pea-sized amount covers the face.

Can I wear it alone without foundation?

Yes. Plush Plump gives a dewy glow on its own, and Velvet Blur softens the look of pores for a bare-skin finish.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

COVERGIRL states the primer is clean and vegan. Check the current packaging for the latest cruelty-free status.

Our take on the COVERGIRL TruBlend Skin Enhancer Primer

A vegan, clean-formulated face primer from COVERGIRL's TruBlend line, sold in two versions: Plush Plump for hydration and radiance, and Velvet Blur for pore-blurring and brightening. Plush Plump uses biopeptides and claims 48-hour hydration with a dewy finish; Velvet Blur uses niacinamide in a silky formula that softens the look of pores and preps skin for makeup. It suits shoppers who want an affordable drugstore primer with a skincare angle, though it sits below prestige primers on finish refinement and longevity. Owners rate it well overall, with most praise for smooth application and value and some complaints about wear time and texture on oily skin.
