Siobhán Donaghy: Well, I actually love it as a look, but you used to do black eyeliner on the lips. I feel like it could have been a chocolate brown…

Mutya Buena: Yeah, I think it was in.

Siobhán Donaghy: It was very much in.

Keisha Buchanan: They’re doing it now as well, but just better.

Siobhán Donaghy: I was probably just sad that I couldn’t pull it off. Let’s be honest.

Mutya Buena: My one was I really ripped up my eyebrows. I had thin eyebrows.

Keisha Buchanan: We all know what I’m going to say. The boys in our band nicknamed me ‘Coolio’ for a reason. It was the China bumps, which was so ‘90s, so cool. It was the China bumps and spikes. No one could tell me nothing.

Mutya Buena: It was very cute.

Keisha Buchanan: Yeah, but it was going every which way and then with a black lip liner too.

Siobhán Donaghy: It was timeless. To be honest, I look back on that footage now and I think it’s very cool.

Keisha Buchanan: Yeah, I’m embarrassed by it.
