Is your teen suddenly interested in makeup but you have no idea where to start as a parent? We've got you covered.

Kelly and Sarah Marie are breaking down the ultimate teen beauty starter pack – a parent's guide to gentle, affordable makeup essentials that won't overwhelm young skin (or your credit card statement). Learn exactly what products are worth investing in and which ones can wait until they're older.

Along with their own trip down memory lane - including Sarah Marie's over-plucked "sperm eyebrows" and Kelly's frosted lipstick phase - consider this your roadmap to helping your teen avoid the same regrettable experiments!

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. Spoiler alert: unless you've got a hot glue gun and several hours to spare, despite its 23.8 million views, this hack leaves plenty to be desired.

But all is not lost when Liv reveals her latest K-Beauty obsession which previously broke the internet in Korea - its a blush with that perfect not-too-dewy finish.
