15 Makeup Primers Beauty Professionals Swear By

Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer ($54)

"The Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer is quite unique; it comes in a pot instead of a bottle. The formula is a thick, balm-like consistency, and you use a small disk to scrape your desired amount out of the pot. What first captured my attention was the incredible scent — the floral notes are pretty enough to be a perfume. The velvety consistency melts into your face the moment you apply it; it's hydrating and sleek without feeling greasy. Even before I apply my foundation, I can see a huge improvement in my complexion." — — Macy Williams, former senior editor, shop
