Of course – I think with the canvas there is better ‘blur’ or soft focus – it’s discreet but does contribute to the overall look of the complexion. The canvas is not as light as the liquid in feel but you need very, very little and it’s quite skin softening. The liquid also feels like a skin care product more than it’s intended job of priming but for my skin, the canvas does it better. If I was twenty, I’d probably go for the liquid! So, upshot is canvas is ‘filter’ finish, liquid is lighter texture without the filter.
