I have become wary of skin primers, i have tried a few brands and they all just seem like moisturizers that are a bit thick. So i naturally was skeptically but after trying a sample i went ahead...

This is a nice enough primer, but I just couldn't see that it made much of a difference. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great either. It's typical of your silicone-based primers. I do like...

Originally got a sample of this and loved it so I bought the full size. It reminded me of Clinique's Instant Pore Perfector but colorless. It defnitly makes your skin super smooth and soft but for...

This stuff is great. I have oily, flaky skin. Not good for foundation OR for eye shadow. I cover my whole face, including eye lids, with just a LITTLE bit. Amazing impact on ability to glide...

This is the best primer I have ever used. It is a powdery gel that makes your makeup go on so smooth you will believe it. It also prevents foundation from falling into large poors so your makeup...

This has been the first primer that I have tried. So I think it is pretty good. It keeps my mu on for the whole day until I remove it. It does make my skin velvet soft and I only use a little bit. ...

I am VERY impressed with Velvet Skin Coat! I am usually skeptical of advertising claims, but this literally does make your skin look and feel like velvet! So soft! I got it in a sample in the...

I got a sample of this and used it few times. I like the texture of the gel and it goes on so smooth. However, I have oily T zone that needs a very very good oil absorbing primer and this one...

I like silicone primers for both smoothing rough spots & pores, & also for helping stop shine on my oily skin. This gel-powder does go on nicely & does a good job of smoothing my skin. At first,...

I ordered a sample size when buying the Cleansing Oil. I was so tempted to get the full size but after all my trial-n-error, I know better. The Velvet Skin Coat makes my skin feel SUPER SMOOTH...

I received a sample of this in a DHC order, and it's okay -- but not really any better than a $10.00 tube of Neutrogena. I don't recall the name of the Neutrogena product, but it's marketing as...

WOW! I just used this for the first time today and I have to say I LOVE IT!!! I can't believe how much LESS foundation I had to use. It was like it didn't soak into my skin like normal and fill my...

I really like the unique texture of this product; it's not a gel or a powder... it's a powdery gel that spreads on the skin easily as an ultra-thin coat. The product well-named - it leaves a...

I've tried primers like Clinique's "Pore Minimizer" products, Jane Iredale's "Absence", Laura Mercier's Primer, and DermaDoctor's "TeaseZone", and Velvet Skin Coat is similar. A very silicony...

I received a sample of this with my order from DHC. It sat for a while because I usually don't have any luck with primers. Generally, they don't control shine on me and end up breaking me out. ...

My favorite primer is Smashbox's, but it is so expensive for daily use. I thought I would try DHC's Velvet Skin Coat. I am very happy with this product. It's a little thicker than the Smashbox, but...

I like this primer compared to Smashbox's. The Smashbox one made me break out, but it's much easier to put on that the DHC Velvet coat. Other than the application problem I really like this. It...
