tried and tested

Yes, it's the video you've all been waiting for - this week's Tried & Tested is here! Last week, our very own Lucy Ford, Lydia Batham and Laura Puddy put at-home spa treatments to the test in a bid to discover whether you reeeeally need to spend THOUSANDS at a quaint hotel in the middle of nowhere, or actually if you can just light some candles round a bath an achieve the same effect.

This week, heat's Style Editor Laura Puddy was drowning in shoes, makeup and jewellery for the heat fashion special, leaving Lucy and Lydia to face this week's challenge alone. Unfortunately for our guinea pigs, Laura decided to put the makeup skills of some BOYS to the test.

NB: We're not saying that boys can't do makeup. Some of the best MUAs on YouTube are males - but THESE boys are not super-gifted in the ways of mascara and foundation. As you will see...

WATCH: We got boys to do our makeup! #TriedandTested

As you can see, they weren't ENTIRELY dreadful. But there's some work to be done, lads - perhaps the next challenge could be THEM wearing makeup for a week...? Just a thought. 😈
