Ok, I admit it. Sometimes I get sucked in by great sales pitches on HSN (and QVC, and my alma mater JTV). Such a thing happened a few days before I left for SXSW. I was having a sleepless night and watching M. Asam present on HSN. They have a line of anti-aging face care that really, compared to what I spend on my skin care normally, is quite a reasonable price. I was doing well resisting until they pulled out the Perfect Teint. I wish I had a clip of the video, because MAN was it convincing. What this product essentially is is a primer. A wonderful, amazing primer. A primer that you can smooth over your wrinkles and see them disappear. Yep, disappear. Right before your very eyes.
To me, Perfect Teint feels like Smashbox’s Photo Finish primer, but thicker - it is more of a cream than a liquid, whereas Smashbox is closer to a liquid. Perfect Teint has the same silicon-y texture as Photo Finish as well. This was something that had to grow on me with Smashbox, but I loved the way that it smoothed over my imperfections so much that it was worth getting used to. This product is exactly the same. The biggest difference that I can see between Perfect Teint and Smashbox is that the PT really will cover deeper wrinkles, pores and imperfections than the Photo Finish will. Really, you can see your wrinkles leave your face as you smooth it on. My mother used it while we were in San Antonio over the weekend and inquired how we could buy this by the gallon. It really is quite good. The effect lasts through the day, and I have been using it for about 2 weeks now, and have no signs of breaking out, clogged pores or anything untoward at all. The only place I can really find this is through HSN - this is supposed to be a product that has gained some popularity in Europe - if there are any folks reading that have any sort of history with this product, I would LOVE to hear from you.
Check it out at HSN, where you can get Perfect Teint by itself for $29.95 (with an autoship option that I think I WILL be taking upon my next order), or as a part of a kit. I bought the kit, and the other products seem to be quite nice too, but will reserve judgement until I have really given it a full run. But the Perfect Teint is too good to hold off on. Check it out if you haven’t - really. Man I love home shopping.

I want to look as good as Madonna when I grow up. Honestly, with every passing birthday…she looks better and better.
Maybe there is something that all that yoga!

i just got the perfect teint and honestly i put it on and saw absolutely nothing! i will try it again as i have 30 days with hsn, but i think this is just another scam. maybe i’m doing something wrong, so if somebody has some tips, please let me know
Just a couple hints… Put a light moisturizer on first and when I tell you it is a TINY amount of Perfect Teint, I mean TINY (the size of a small green pea tiny). Emulsify it in your hands, don’t dab and blend, and apply it quickly concentrating on the areas that need the most help. The biggest mistakes people make are not using their moisturizer first and using way too much Perfect Teint (which is why it peels). Good luck, hope that helps!
I found this product to do the job. It does mininimize pores and lines, and it makes your skin satiny. However it peels. Since I like the affects so much , I just use a make up brush get rid of peeling Well worth the effort
I have worked in the beauty industry for almost 20 years and M. Asam is BY FAR one of the nicest lines I have ever worked with. Highly underrated, not very well know. But to be quite honest it’s kind of nice to chuckle at my friends who spent $250 for a jar of Creme de la Hmmm… that doesn’t work! The Vino Gold 24 HR face moisturizer is a god-send and for all the Perfect Teint fans you HAVE TO TRY Magic Fini!! Enjoy
