Velvet Skin Coat

This did nothing for my skin or help keep my makeup look fresh. It did have a very velvety consistency. When i saw the name I wasn't too sure but it really is more velvety as regular primers which feel more greasy/oily. Because of this it took more product to cover the face. Didn't see enough difference to repurchase

I don't see any difference when using the product - a real waste of money..

I have used other primers better then this. To me this is an average primer. I suppose if you have horrible skin it might work but I didn't really notice it kind of just sits there. Too expensive for not too big of a result.

Best Wrinkle Filler!! I've been using this product for a long time. I have a healthy skin with a few wrinkles. But a few is enough to bother any women! I'm near sighted so I have a light lines between my eyes. And light lines below my laugh lines. After I apply my foundation and lightly powder all over my face I use a dab of this product to touch up the lines. Boila! The lines disappear like a magic. Yes it isn't a miracle and it is just a visual effect because of the matte silicone material. But it is good enough for me and my lines as I'm not ready to get Botox or Juvederm! If you have fine light lines and are not too obsessed with the perfect look, you will be pleased with this product.

This is the first primer I ever used and I used it about six-seven years ago and had never even heard of such a thing... But I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of the product. It works remarkably as described. It fills in pores and any unevenness in your skin and leaves a perfect palette for your foundation/concealer/bb/cc cream...whatever. Or you can use alone. I have troubled skin: scars, redness, as well as cystic acne at one point that's being controlled right now w/a skin care routine- ANYWHO I can't use it alone, but if you had nice skin, this would make a good base for just a light dusting of powder. It's a great standalone or add in in any makeup routine. I rated the price as a full 5 lippies because I recieved a sample in a book called The Beauty Buyble (awesome read for a makeup junkie, chock-full of deluxe samples and basically like makeupalley in a book, full of different products, a broad range, and ratings, though by now probably outdated.) At any rate, I priced on amazon, and it's very reasonably priced so that's a plus. The packaging is nice and hygienic so that's a definite plus. And just a small pea sized dab will cover your entire face generously, so that's a plus. It really has a velvet like texture, no odor, no color to speak of, so you're getting just a foundation primer. That's a plus to me. I love this stuff and will be ordering a full sized tube promptly. It's a keeper in my reportoire.

This primer makes the skin feel so nice and smooth but it made me oily before it usually becomes so, unfortunately. It certainly helps the foundation to "stick" but it just didn't do the job for me. It may have even been the culprit of a couple bumps, too, but it's hard to tell because I was testing other products at the time.

I loved this primer to first few times I used it, then my skin broke out. I have tried several other times to use it, and I get the same results...pimples. Bummer for me, since it does feel really nice. Not worth the breakouts though. I would be hesitant to buy this if you suffer breakouts or sensitivity.

I really love this product. I love it enough to say it might even be my HG primer/make-up base, but it's honestly only the 3rd primer I've ever tried, so I don't really have many to compare to, I just know it works! The first time I wore it I really couldn't stop admiring my face in the mirror, and that hasn't happened in a long looooong time! My favourite thing about this has to be the finish, it goes on very light and it has a really nice smooth texture, it looks extremely natural and even glowy! No caking, or odd textures here and there. It also makes my foundation look so much nicer, and for a much longer time (I've got very oily skin, and my foundation tends to crumble quickly, even with an old primer of mine). It really helps make makeup more long lasting. Great oil control! I find my oily face doesn't look as ridiculously shiny as quickly, and less often too. Really amazing, doesn't feel drying either, unlike most mattifying primers. I find it doesn't give any coverage on its own, but after applying foundation or concealer, my pores are nicely covered, and some of my smaller pores are pretty much invisible. It also increases coverage for blemishes and acne scars. The only thing that's bad about this is the price and quantity. It's such a teeny tiny tube, and you use quite a bit each time, so I think this is only going to last me say 3 months? But honestly, I'd rather pay for this again than waste more money and go around trying new products in the hopes of finding something else that works as well. I also think it's worth repurchasing because I find that I use less foundation when I'm using this. I don't even use concealer anymore too! Yes, I would repurchase and I would definitely recommend!

Goes on very smooth and does make the skin feel velvety and makeup goes on smoother. I just prefer a primer that leaves more of a matte finish though since I use heavier moisturizers underneath. Velvet Coat works fine if you can get by with a light moisturizer, but if you use a heavier one, I prefer something like L'Oreal's Miracle Blur.

This is not something I use every day, but periodically if I need to control oil or mattify things, mostly on my forehead. I bounce between this and a couple other primers and filler/sealer products. On the plus side, this does not break me out if I use it on my cheeks or chin the way most of the others will. It's got a nice silky feel and does its job mattifying. On the cons, it doesn't really fill anything in, but sometimes feels a bit heavier or thicker than some of the other options. Sometimes it comes out of the tube in globs or "spits" out in small chunks, rather than smooth gel, which is a little annoying. But maybe that's just the nature of the product. I feel it does that more when it's older (drier?) than when fresh. Anyway, the tube is a nice delivery system, better than a pot. Overall, it's a nice product, nothing too special, but useful to have around.
