This really does smooth out

"This really does smooth out my skin and is a great primer! Great packaging and looks so lush! My pores are large and after I used this, after my skin prep, and finished off with the face powder, I was shocked that my skin looked flawless. I also have the liquid version which I love too when I dont have time and rushing. I use that even without makeup and makes my skin look great. I love the subtle scent like all Tatcha products. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a primer. I have oily skin and I have tried many others but after a while my face stars to shone and this primer has stayed matte all day. I love it!!"

Silk Canvas

"This primer delivers the softest texture to the skin without feeling weighted or tacky. I was surprised to see that very little covers the entire face. There is no chalky cast to the skin and delivers a natural, smooth priming for minimal foundation application"
