The Liquid Silk Canvas: Featherweight Protective Primer

Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas takes the brand's silk primer formula and pours it into a weightless liquid. One pump sits between your skin and your makeup, blurring pores and uneven texture while helping the look you apply go on better and stay put longer.

What it actually does

• Blurs pores and surface flaws. Silk in thin layers — sericin, fibroin and silk powder — is what Tatcha credits with reducing the look of pores, fine lines and imperfections before makeup.
• Acts as a shield. The silk plus a botanical extract blend forms a layer between makeup and skin, which the brand says helps stop the clogged pores that can turn into breakouts.
• Protects against pollutants as well as makeup, per Tatcha's own positioning.
• Extends wear. Longer-lasting, better-applied makeup is the headline benefit.
• Addresses tone and texture. Pores, redness, and dullness with uneven texture are the three concerns it's listed against.
• Texture: a featherweight liquid, not a balm.
• Formula notes: cruelty-free.

Brand-reported results

Expert grader assessments published by Tatcha. Immediately after use: all panelists demonstrated improved skin tone, 98% improved pore appearance and 93% improved texture. At two weeks: 90% demonstrated improvement in how wrinkles looked and 98% in how fine lines looked. Brand testing data — individual results will vary.

How to use

1. One pump, applied using a flat brush or your fingers. Start with less than you think you need — a small amount covers a lot.
2. Layer it over moisturiser, SPF, or both, and before any makeup. That's where Tatcha says it performs best.
3. Wear it alone or under makeup — either is intended.
4. Face and eyes are both suitable areas.

Questions

How is this different from the balm Silk Canvas?

Same silk thinking, different format. This is the weightless liquid version of the brand's bestselling silk primer formula, applied by the pump rather than scooped from a balm.

Can I wear it without makeup?

Yes — Tatcha states it works alone or with makeup. Worn on its own it functions as the protective, blurring layer.

Does it go before or after sunscreen?

After. The instruction is to layer it over moisturiser and/or SPF, then apply makeup on top.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability.
