I really like it.
Gives a soft glow without being glittery or too shiny. I love that it doesn’t have silicone and keeps my skin fresh and hydrated. Will repurchase.

weak container
Product itself is fine but the plastic top of the container completely split off, which air caused product to dry up. Into the garbage it went!

Product shown is misleading
The product shown in all the photos is the full size of this product, what you actually get is less than 1 oz rather than 1.7 oz, so this is not a great deal. You can currently buy a two pack of the full-size primer for $32, so do that instead! I wish I would have done that but I’m trying this for the first time. I do have the LM tinted moisturizer and love it.

Shrinkflation is Real!!
I have used Pure Canvas Illumination Primer for many years. I still love the product due to its ability to provide a slight iridescent glow which works well with or without makeup. My 3-star review is due to the greatly decreased size of the tube; capacity has changed from .50 oz to .30 oz. The smaller size at an even higher price point is jarring!

Watery and not illuminating
I loved the original primer and was very happy to have found it. The replacement is nothing like the original. It is watery and burns when applied. It does not have an illuminating glow .

Used to be good, not anymore
First of all, the tube came with the primer oozing out of it. I've been using this for years and it's more than doubled in price for much less product. And it's no longer illuminating. Don't buy. I'll be looking for something else to use. Disappointing.
