I LOVE this stuff! If I had not been accosted by the Benefit woman in the flagship Sephora on Champs Elysee I would have been eternally denied this wonderful foundation. After all, the packaging and brand concept is not exactly targeted at 46-year-old moms.
And who would believe that a foundation that exists in only one color could work (I think maybe there is a second darker one now). I hate feeling like I have foundation on, and with SKG I feel like I’m going bare. No shiny nose in the middle of the day either!
I use La Roche Posay’s Anthelios SPF 40 creme fondant (their formula for the face) underneath, which acts not only as a quickly absorbed, non-greasy, lightly moisturizing, non-irritating sunscreen but also serves as a great primer.

I’ve used this foundation for years! I would never have tried it if I had just looked at the color — I’m very pale and the color in the compact looks dark, but the sales lady tried it on me and I was hooked!
It does go on very soft and smooth and blends in very easily. This is the only foundation I’ve ever used that I didn’t feel the need to also use a powder with.
I highly recommend this foundation!

I really dislike this product. It disappears and makes my skin look worse. Benefit stuff never really works for me. Yay for BE!!!
