DHC Velvet Skin Coat Mattifying Makeup Primer — Clear Powder-Gel, Minimizes Pores & Shine, 0.52 oz

DHC Velvet Skin Coat is a clear, powder-gel mattifying makeup primer that blurs pores, fine lines, and imperfections for a smooth, long-lasting matte finish.

Start your makeup routine with a lightweight primer designed to create a velvety base. This antioxidant-rich, fragrance- and colorant-free formula absorbs excess oil and helps foundation glide on more evenly while maintaining a natural matte look. The transparent texture suits all skin tones and can be used alone or under makeup to extend wear without feeling heavy.

How does this primer reduce the look of pores and fine lines?

The powder-gel texture fills and smooths uneven surface areas, creating a refined canvas that softens the appearance of enlarged pores and shallow lines. It sets quickly to a matte, pore-blurring finish so makeup sits on top rather than settling in creases.

• Powder-gel formula smooths skin texture instantly
• Creates a uniform surface for foundation application
• Transparency avoids altering foundation color or tone

Will it control shine throughout the day?

Yes — the primer's mattifying agents help absorb excess oil to reduce midday shine and keep skin looking velvety for hours. Because it’s lightweight and non-greasy, it controls oil without feeling cakey or drying out the skin.

• Absorbs surface oil to maintain a matte finish
• Extends makeup wear by reducing slippage from oil
• Works under powder and liquid foundations equally well

Is this primer suitable for sensitive or varied skin types?

DHC Velvet Skin Coat is fragrance- and colorant-free and formulated with botanicals to nourish while priming, making it appropriate for a range of skin types. Its clear formula adapts to different tones and won’t introduce additional pigments or fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin.

• Clear formula fits all skin tones without altering shade
• Free of added fragrance and colorants to reduce irritation risk
• Contains botanical ingredients that support skin comfort

How should I apply it for the best results?

Apply a small amount after moisturizing and before foundation. Focus on areas prone to shine or texture, such as the T-zone and cheeks, then blend gently with fingertips or a brush to create an even base.

• Use sparingly — a pea-sized amount can cover most of the face
• Pat and blend into problem areas before foundation
• Layer under powder or liquid makeup for longer-lasting wear

Who is this for? DHC Velvet Skin Coat is aimed at anyone wanting a smoother, matte base—especially those with combination to oily skin, visible pores, or texture concerns. It's also a good choice for people who prefer minimalist, fragrance-free makeup products that won’t shift foundation color. Whether you wear full coverage or a light, natural finish, this transparent mattifying primer helps makeup apply more evenly and last longer without heavy residue.
