In this lol-worthy episode of Tried & Tested, Sarah Marie dives headfirst into TikTok's wild world of beauty hacks, testing a viral eyeliner wing stamp made from—wait for it—a pill packet and cotton tip.

Remember when frosted eyeshadow was EVERYWHERE? Freaking out that it's BACK?! Kelly and Sarah Marie are diving into decades of iconic makeup trends to find out which vintage looks deserve a spot in your 2025 rotation (and which should stay buried in the past)! From the 20s glam that inspired today's "cold girl" aesthetic to the 70s bronzed glow that TikTok can't get enough of, we're separating the timeless from the tragic (spoiler: those 90s pencil-thin brows are NEVER coming back, Youbies). Sarah Marie spills her genius hack for creating those trending soft waves without spending a fortune on tools, while the girls debate whether that ultra-glossy red lip deserves its current comeback moment.
