Which Silk Canvas Primer is Right for You?

You may be wondering how our iconic Liquid Silk Canvas and The Silk Canvas differ, and which one best suits your skin, so we made this little guide to help.

What’s the difference between the original Silk Canvas and the new Liquid Silk Canvas?
The Silk Canvas is a rich balm and is velvety soft on skin.
The Liquid Silk Canvas is an oil-free fluid and feels weightless on the skin.

Do both formulas protect the skin from makeup and pollution the same way?
Yes! Both the original balm and new oil-free fluid are skincare-first formulas made using three types of Japanese silk, skin-protecting botanical extracts, and Hadasei-3, our antioxidant complex for healthy, ageless skin. As a result, both formulas help to protect skin from makeup and pollution.

Do both formulas improve the wear of makeup the same way?
Yes! Both the original balm and new oil-free fluid provide a beautiful canvas for makeup from your face, to your eyes and lips. Also, both formulas pair beautifully with liquid, cream, and powder makeup to provide remarkable makeup payoff and prolonging its wear.

How can I choose which format of The Silk Canvas is best for me?
Good news, it’s totally up to you. If your skin tends to get mid-day shine, if you prefer liquid formulas, or if you like your primers to feel lightweight, you’ll love the new Liquid Silk Canvas. If your skin is feeling a bit dry, or if your skin just loves richer, creamier textures, the original Silk Canvas is the one for you. Also, our skin changes with the seasons, our hormones, and our diet. The good news is, no matter how it’s feeling, there’s a Silk Canvas for you.

We can’t wait to hear how your skin is looking after you try these formulas and thank you always for the honor of taking care of you.

Wishing you healthy-looking skin and perfect makeup,
