Reviews

I come back to this primer every time

"I adore this primer. Its' effect it not too subtle, it creates a truly silky, velvet canvas with no pores. It also has a slight white cast which makes me look a little more pale but I don't mind this, if you wanted your natural color to come through you may. It is neither dewy looking or drying. Don't use too much or it will pill but the right amount is"

— Samantha D. (5/5)

It's nice!

"I like this product, but I feel like the sample I tried was better? Idk I'm still new to using it. . . . but it definitely keeps makeup looking it's best for longer. I'd definitely recommend it."

— Rosemary B. (4/5)

Awesome product

"This product places a thin light cover over your face making it smooth as silk. It’s unbelievable. Then apply foundation and your face is so smooth. One squirt is enough to cover entire face."

Q&A

There is no "straw" attached to the base of the pump on the Liquid Silk Canvas primer (mini size) I purchased. Did I receive a defective product, or is this the intended design?: The mini-size Liquid Silk Canvas uses an airless pump, so a hose is not attached to the nozzle.
I just opened this item to use. The top came off and noticed it was only half full. Is this normal?: Hello! If you need assistance with a tatcha.com order, please kindly email customercare@tatcha.com and a specialist will get back to you shortly.
Which is better for fine lines and matte skin, liquid or satin primer?: If you want a more matte look, we recommend the Liquid Silk Canvas as it helps control shine slightly better than the balm version. We hope this helps.
is this silicone or water based ?: Thank you for asking! The Liquid Silk Canvas is a silk-based formula. We hope this helps.
For at least how many hours will this primer hold after I put in on? Other primers I used only last for 6 hours the have to reapply.: The Silk Canvas will keep makeup in place until you take it off at the end of the day. We hope you'll love this!
