description

A priming balm with pressed silk that smooths and preserves the look of makeup. This multitasking primer not only protects skin but seals the look of makeup to last all day. For use on the face, eyes and lips, it nourishes skin as it's applied and aims to reduce shine for a matte finish. As a result, makeup can be applied evenly to oil-free skin, giving it a greater chance of lasting the full day and evening. Simply beautiful!

Although this primer is very expensive, I love it. It actually does what it says on the tin. It helps my foundation sit better and last longer, and most importantly it reduces the size of pores...

I felt I had to write a review to defend this poor primer. In my old age (OK-60 in 3 weeks and 3 days) I have become a very discerning primer buyer. A good primer can takes years off your face, add...

I don’t understand the hype with this primer. Even ELF primers worked better for me than this. I will not repurchase.

Tatcha is always good. It’s a great primer but there is some cons to this one. When you use some lotions and put this primer on sometimes you get white little balls on your face which is no good....

I find it interesting that most posts do not realize the product IS NOT silicone-based but rather is silk based, Also, it is NOT for oily skin--hence--all the bad reviews. It is a moisturizing...

Made my foundation break up and slip right off. Completely purposefully, overpriced and overhyped. Glad it was only a sample. Would never buy the full size.

I had no breakouts before using this product. I used it 3 times and now have large (painful) cystic acne under my nose and on my chin.

Luckily got a travel size of this. I got it to try to keep foundation on my nose but it didn't work. I prefer less silicon one but it was very silky. Probably good for dry skin but not oily.

I don't really use primer, so my experience is limited more so than with other products. That being said.... Pros - Blended easily into the face. It had a bit of a silicone-y feeling, which is...
