The Silk Canvas, Protective, Smoothing, & Blurring Makeup Primer

I’ve been using this primer for a few years now, and it’s honestly blown everything I’ve ever used out of the water. The quality is superior, and it works just as described, so I believe that justifies the high price tag. It helps reduce redness, prevent oiliness, smooth any texture, and blur my pores. Although it doesn’t completely blur all of my pores, I’d say it covers at least 95% of them. It looks like I have an Instagram filter over my face, which gives the appearance of porcelain skin (hence the Geisha inspiration). I’ve never experienced any cracking, creasing, fading, or smudging. Even after 12+ hours of wear, my makeup remains fresh. Even when it’s a super hot day and I’m sweating, my makeup doesn’t budge. Even when it was pouring buckets outside, my makeup stayed put. This stuff is truly amazing.As for the application, it’s extremely quick and easy. The small spatula it comes with to remove the product is genius. On first contact, this appears to have a slightly thicker consistency than your average primer, but it melts into your skin instantly. I love the silky feel it gives; it adds to the luxury of this primer. I personally use a little more product than the recommended amount, and I like to wait a few minutes before applying my makeup. As for the scent, it’s faint and doesn’t linger. For reference on my skin type, I have dry/normal skin.In terms of the authenticity of ordering this primer on Amazon, I can say with certainty that it’s legit. Tatcha is the seller, so it’s no different than purchasing it from their official brand website or Sephora. The only difference is that you receive it much sooner, and if the timing is right, you can purchase it at a much lower price. I’m currently running low on my Tatcha silk canvas primer, so I bought one on Prime Day for $37 bucks! That’s a $17 dollar difference (talk about a saving!).The packaging came in typical Tatcha fashion. The primer came in a vacuum-sealed bag and was placed in a little drawer-like box with a small disc-shaped spatula. The primer itself came in flawless condition, as it should. The outside packaging looked a tiny bit dingy, but that didn’t bother me. As long as the actual product is intact, that’s all that matters.

This product is great. Makes makeup look clear and smooth

Lived up to the hype

Tatcha does offer a version specifically for oily skin, which I probably should have got. However, I picked this up on Prime Day and didn’t want to miss the deal, so I decided to try it anyway. To my surprise, it worked completely fine for my oily skin. The texture is silky smooth, and once applied, my skin feels velvety while helping to blur pores and fine lines.That said, it’s quite pricey for what it does, as it performs similarly to other primers on the market. I also wasn’t a fan of the packaging—the screw-top compact requires two hands to open, and the small circular tool used to scoop out the product doesn’t have a designated holder, so you’re left needing to place it somewhere. For these reasons, I took off one star.

Makes my skin look flawless. I feel like I dont even need foundation. Love love love this product ❤️

I really wanted to love this product, especially because of the price I paid for it! It feels very silky and smooth, which is great, wears well under make up.. but.. it gave my skin a pretty greasy feeling from the start which did not feel great lasting into the end of the day. I tend to get an oily forehead over time and paired with this primer.. it was waaaay too greasy. Even after using a setting powder, it just felt too thick. You can definitely go lighter and build the product up, but it just isn't my favorite, personally. I also have hormonal acne and I can't stay for sure, but I don't feel like this helped my acne situation either. Overall if you already have decent skin or just some fine lines or dry skin, this would probably be great.. but if you have combination/oily skin or acne prone skin, you're better off looking into another product!

I am in my early 60’s and I’ve recently been trying to update my makeup routine to cope with various signs of aging. A friend recommended Tatcha “the silk canvas” to me and it has made more of a difference than almost any other change I’ve made. I use a small amount of this product as a base underneath moisturizer and foundation. I do not use it as a substitute for moisturizer, but rather as a primer/concealer/color corrector. It goes on like a dream and creates a smooth primed surface on my face and neck for makeup. It evens out my skin tone and hides age spots and seems to have some sort of almost magical illuminating property that gives my skin a glow. It is a bit pricey, but I find that I only need a small amount, and one purchase will last me quite a while. I absolutely love this product.

My make up goes on so smooth with this. Face feels soft and ready for the day.

This is very nice on my skin lovely

I use pair this with tatcha sunscreen and my skin looks better than it ever has. My makeup stays put all day and a little bit goes a long ways! Beautiful container as well.

it's super smooth and feels like my skin is breathing. great quality.

This is my favourite primer. Yes it's on the pricey side but its worth every penny; being able to order it on Amazon is brilliant. I ordered it quite late earlier today selecting delivery by 10pm. It was dispatched and delivered to my house before 7pm. Excellent service, thank you.

This product is beautiful. I would rate this as one of the very best I have ever used. I'm 61 years old and this product makes my skin look youthful. It provides high end results. A must try for anyone
