""I'm here in the RTÉ makeup department, and I'm conducting an experiment. You could call it 'the Miriam experiment', inspired by Miriam O'Callaghan, who said this week on a podcast that on a Tuesday, she gets her makeup done here in RTÉ and she keeps the same eye makeup for the following seven days. This is science people, the eyes that are put on me today will be on me for seven days.""
""I do something very unusual. Normally RTÉ makeup will put on my eye makeup on a Tuesday before I present Prime Time. I do not touch my eye makeup for a week. I sleep in it, I wake up and no, my pillow is perfect. I know it's the worst advice, you should always take your makeup off every night, to mind your skin. I leave my eye makeup, full eyelashes, eye shadow, everything, for one week. It's the best. I don't touch it.""
Miriam O'Callaghan has a routine of having RTÉ makeup applied on Tuesdays before presenting Prime Time and leaving eye makeup intact for seven days, including eyelashes and eyeshadow. Aisling Bonner recreated the routine in the RTÉ makeup department as an experiment, applying eye makeup and committing to wearing it unchanged for seven days. The experiment was labeled 'the Miriam experiment' and framed as a test of week-long wear. The practice contradicts standard skincare advice to remove makeup nightly, yet O'Callaghan sleeps in the eye makeup without issue and prefers the convenience.
