Finding a good foundation can often feel like finding a needle in a haystack. And while there are hundreds of options (and new products being released regularly) the ability to discover your perfect pairing usually requires a lot of work, particularly when you're factoring in colour match, formula preferences and of course, price.

At Refinery29 Australia, we're dedicated to bringing you our honest reviews so you can more seamlessly navigate the saturated world of beauty products. And this week, we've been trialling Ciaté London's Extraordinary Foundation.

Ciaté's Extraordinary Foundation was the first foundation released by the brand and promises to cover imperfections and blur the appearance of pores. According to the brand's website, 100% of users agreed that the product did just that, while 96% of people also said the foundation made their skin look radiant. That's setting quite a high bar. So, how did it stack up according to the Refinery29 Australia team? Keep scrolling for our reviews.
