Tatcha The Skin Canvas Primer Review

Hey gorgeous, welcome back to my blog!

In today's post, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the Tatcha The Skin Canvas Primer, whether it's worth splurging money on or not. I've seen many youtubers raving about this primer and I was really intrigued by the flawless finish the product claims to give. So if you are keen to find out more, keep on reading!

 So what is this Silk Canvas Primer? It is actually a priming balm with pressed silk that smoothes and preserves the look of makeup. It claims to not only protect the skin but also seals the look of makeup for the entire day. It nourishes skin as it is applied and aims to reduce shine for a matte finish. And as a result makeup can be applied to oil free skin, giving it a greater chance to last throught the day and night. It is also said to be able to blur the looks of pores, fine lines and uneven skin tone, colour correcting with an universal shade for a healthy, soft focus glow. It is also anti-sagging because of its Japanese Superfood ingredients which helps to restore youthful radiance. Last but not least, it is said to be suitable for all skin types. Doesn't these claims sound soooo amazing and makes you wanna try it out even though it is retailing at $72 (that's expensive for a primer).

Okay back to the product itself, I like the premium looking packaging that the primer comes in. In fact, I think Tatcha aced all their products packaging as they all look so classy in the standard one colour look. When I saw the product itself, it reminded me a lot of my lip balms and the texture of it is very balmy and buttery, which I like.

Too much product 

This is all you need for the entire face

When I first tried it, I took too much product and my face almost felt moderate oily so I quickly wiped it off my face and went with a smaller amount. In fact, all you need is a rice size amount for the entire face. So even though this primer is really pricey, but a little goes a very long way for it and I believe one tub can last a few months or even half a year, if you are very careful with the amount used.

Half face test

Decided to try the Silk Canvas on my left face and the Maybelline Pore Eraser on my right side to see the difference. Honestly, in terms of blurring pores, I think they are both as good. As for the blurring of fine lines, since I do not have fine lines on my face, I cannot vouch that the Silk Canvas is doing its job here but what I did notice was that the redness on my left face was immediately corrected. I can hardly see any uneven tone on my left face after applying the small amount of Silk Canvas whereas I can still see redness on my right face. Also, my left face was obviously much brighter and more glowy looking as compared to the right side which looked more dull.

Full Face test

The very next day, I tried the Silk Canvas Primer on my entire face and the result was even better. My face felt so smooth and evenly toned and in fact, I could hardly see the redness of my acne scar on my right side. And because of its silkiness on the skin, applying makeup on the face became so much easier and fuss free.

Base makeup completed 

I love that this Silk Canvas gives a matte finish but it is also not drying so your skin doesn't feel dry or dehydrated throughout the day which is good because that means both oily skin and dry skin will be suitable for this primer. I love how my face feels and looks so flawless for the entire day with this Silk Canvas Primer and I think even an ant will not be able to crawl onto my face because it is that smooth.

After 12 hours of wearing makeup with the Silk Canvas Primer 

After 14 hours of wearing makeup with the silk canvas primer 

For the few times that I used this Silk Canvas Primer, my makeup lasted the entire day (and by that I meant more than 10 hours). In fact, the face looked exactly how it looked like when I first applied on the makeup. It remained shine free even though I have oily skin especially on the t zone area but my face gave off a very natural glow that looked so healthy and definitely not greasy.

So if I have to give an honest opinion for this Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer, I would say that I cannot find any reason to dislike this primer (except for the price) but like I said earlier, you only need a very tiny amount each time so it really can last you quite a long while. It really makes my skin looks so flawless like a doll and shine free throughout the day so I definitely will highly recommend this to all of you reading this post (I know it's pricey but I'm sorry it's really good).

And that's all I have for this post. I hope you have enjoyed reading it. Please follow me (ig id:jjingwenn) if you haven't already and I'll see you in my next post, xoxo.
