The Beauty Lessons Pia Whitesell Wishes She’d Learned Sooner

In today's Tried & Tested, Sarah Marie tests the viral "three fingers" makeup placement technique that's taking over TikTok. Bravely risking her fully done face moments before leaving home, placing contour, blush, and highlighter in precisely the right spots. With her Amazon dupes of Charlotte Tilbury's Beauty Light Wands, Sarah Marie discovers her own hack-on-a-hack: blend from darkest to lightest products rather than all at once for a seamlessly sculpted look. Liv one-ups Sarah Marie with an even more extreme version of her hack, applying ALL her cream face products simultaneously before blending. Tune in to discover why both hacks earned enthusiastic "nail" status, plus Liv's confession about her $16 Models Prefer BB Cream that has everyone complimenting her skin.

Retinol lovers, your skincare prayers have been answered! Kelly sits down with Medik8's Daniel Isaacs (the genius with suspiciously perfect skin), who finally explains why your face might be peeling off when using vitamin A products. From comparing retinoids to coffee shots (retinaldehyde is a single espresso, who knew?!) to the shocking confession that you CAN use retinol in summer, this chat is full of "wait, I've been doing it wrong" moments.Daniel's refreshingly basic routine honestly makes us question why we own 47 products when he's getting better results with three. He breaks down the only trio of skincare essentials actually worth your money, and explains his "start low, go slow" philosophy that'll save both your face and your credit card from unnecessary trauma!

"It's not you, it's your eyebrow technique" – this week's episode tackles beauty's most awkward conversation.....like what to do when your eyebrow lady's work has gone downhill but you still chat like besties (spoiler: white lies might be your friend) and how to tackle those stubborn puffy eyes that make you look tired even after a solid eight hours. There's a serious warning about those "unhinged beauty hacks" flooding your TikTok feed – unless you fancy washing your face with floor cleaner and walking around with no skin barrier (yes, someone actually recommended Dettol as face wash, and no, please don't try it). Plus, Leigh's obsessing over a magnetic solution to bobby pin chaos that's changing bathrooms everywhere, while Kelly's admitting to hoarding nude eyeliners like they might suddenly become extinct!

In this episode, Sarah Marie and Kelly take on the 5-minute makeup challenge, breaking down their go-to products and techniques for those mornings when you're racing against the clock. Sarah Marie swears by her powder-heavy approach (complete with products she adorably keeps in their original boxes), while Kelly's "just-enough-to-not-terrify-your-ex" strategy involves slapping on cream sticks with carefree confidence. We teach you how to level up your 5-minute routine, and Sarah Marie flexes her pro MUA credentials, casually revealing she could overhaul a bride’s entire glam between “I do” and entrée — a claim Kelly may have side-eyed at first, but quickly came to admire.

For today's Tried & Tested, Sarah Marie Fahd and Liv James get their hands dirty with two viral beauty hacks that have been doing the rounds on TikTok. Makeup novice Liv (who admits she gets "a bit sweaty" at the thought of applying eyeshadow) bravely tackles the cotton pad eyeshadow hack in front of professional makeup artist Sarah Marie. Watch as she strategically folds a regular cotton pad to create what promises to be the perfect winged shadow guide - a technique Sarah Marie surprisingly reveals she's secretly used on clients for over 15 years. Meanwhile, Sarah Marie experiments with a TikTok-trending white concealer technique that's giving major 2016 vibes, where she applies stark white product under her eyes before layering foundation on top - a complete reversal of traditional makeup application order. Does this unusual method deliver that bright-eyed, bushy-tailed look we're all desperately chasing, or is it just another social media fantasy? Tune in to discover which technique earns holy grail status and which one gets relegated to the beauty bin!

In this episode, Kelly is joined by social media superstar Indy Clinton for a raw, unfiltered chat about online trolling and beauty transformations, plus her new collaboration with haircare brand Bouf. Indy opens up about the bizarre reality of facing criticism over her recent rhinoplasty (seriously, are we still judging women's personal choices?!) and shares the hilarious truth behind accidentally leaking TBH Skincare's unreleased product after a few too many at a Taylor Swift concert. Between confessing her phobia of greasy hair and admitting to occasionally sleeping in makeup, Indy proves she's still a refreshingly relatable queen. In an episode full of laugh-out-loud moments and serious truth bombs, Kelly and Indy tackle everything from society's impossible standards for mothers to the joy of fake freckles gone wrong. Listen to the end for Indy's candid take on beauty trends she can't stand and her hilariously minimal skincare routine ("What even is this K-beauty product my friend gave me?"). Enjoy Youbies!
