Like another reviewer, I had the flakiness problem...I exfoliate on a daily basis so I know that wasn't the problem. Maybe I used too much (I generally use the Smashbox primer and I can use quite...

I noticed that if you use too much it can make your skin look oily. You really only need a very, very small amount for your entire face. If you have oily skin, the best product would be the Matte...

It made my skin feel greasy after awhile. I thought I liked it when I tried to sample, because it made my face feel powdery and soft. But if you have combo or oily skin, don't use it!

I've always had trouble with blemishes and of course, that's where all the foundations gets stuck, is around those things. This completely eliminates that problem. It smooths everything out so...

I really love this product. I find it works best when use it as a spot-primer. It really helps fill in the pores and makes the make-up go on smoothly and last longer. **TIP** You really must...

Actually, there should be an easier way to get that product out of that tube....It is somewhat hard to squeze the desired amount, since it is thick. Other than that I LOVE how it looks on my face....

Putting aside the ridiculous claims on the packaging, I admit that Velvet Skin Coat leaves my skin feeling smooth as a baby's bottom. It *kinda* fills in little lines, and *sorta* makes my makeup...

Doesn't take too much to get a nice even coat over your skin, since it spreads easily. Fills in my pores somewhat and helps extend the staying power of my foundation.

I use this on my cheeks when I am wearing a cream or liquid blush. As my skin can get pretty dry, this makes a great primer for smoothing out the skin and allowing the cream a "working" time when...

I like DHC a lot, but this just didn't make the cut. It went on nicely, but after about 5 minutes, it started like flaking or something, and so I had like patches of white flaky stuff on the bridge...

This is an average primer, especially for the price. I carry it in my purse to use when I apply makeup after a visit to the spa. A better primer for oily skin is a powder gel made by Monistat (an...

You will feel silky smooth when you apply VSC but it is ok. Still like LM Primer overall and its texture. VSC costs less and works better during Summer time though.

The first time I applied this I was shocked because I didn't recognize my own skin. It blurs fine lines and imperfections, diminishes pores, tones down redness and leaves a soft, matte surface. I...
