You wouldn't know it from looking at my face, but I buy and own a lot of makeup. I don't really wear a ton of it; I just enjoy having it around. I also enjoy shopping online, eliminating the need to go out into the world and interact with other people. These two factors make me the target demographic for Sephora's Virtural Artist, and yet it did not inspire me to buy cosmetics.

When you think of makeup, you think of lipstick -- lipstick and blush, probably. Lipstick is a cornerstone of everyone's beauty routine and an essential to every beauty bag. It's one of the few products that can finish a look, or be a look all on its own. With so many lip products available, finding the right product for you can be a challenge, but finding the perfect shade and formula is always, always worth the leg work. Let me help!

Blush is one of those products that we grew up seeing on our mum's vanity and in the handbag of every glamorous woman we looked up to, but when we have it in-hand, we're "now what?" Let's talk about what it is, what it's for and how best to use it.

Finding the right foundation isn't easy. With so many options available, it's almost impossible to know where to start. If you narrow down what you're looking for from your foundation, the level of coverage and type of finish you want, it can make finding the perfect base a lot easier.

Everyone can benefit from priming and setting makeup to make sure it will last all day. You don't have to, but whether you're using a $9 foundation or $90 one, that product was an investment, and there's no point if you're not going to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You know that little pop of colour you see at the bottom of certain lipstick tubes? It turns out it's not just there to help you pick a shade; it actually contains a little bit of bonus lip gloss.

Cosmetics are a lot of fun, but they can get pretty pricey. Though I like to splurge on luxe products every now and again, I can't stock my entire vanity with Nars blushes and Mason Pearson hair brushes. Luckily, Refinery29 has compiled a list of dupes for popular, pricey products at much cheaper prices.

Marketers will have you believe natural or organic is synonymous with healthy, but that's not always the case. (As one clinical professor put it over at INSIDER, "Poison ivy's organic and it's not good for you.") Even more innocuous ingredients like tea tree oil and rosemary can irritate your skin, though.

I know it's early on a Monday morning, but we've just discovered Scrotox, a procedure that involves injecting Botox into men's scrotum to smooth out the wrinkles down there. Apparently Australian men are flocking to get this procedure done. Here's what you need to know.

Swiping on a red lip is the easiest way to spruce up your face and feel a bit fancy, but wearing the same colour over and over again can get a bit boring. Luckily, Marie Claire has five great tips for spicing up your red lip quickly and easily.

Painting your nails is by no means a clean task, but perfecting your nail polish technique cuts down on time you spend cleaning-up. Here are some tips to get the look you want the first time with no fuss.

Your lips are dry, so you apply a little something soothing from a tube or a tiny jar or one of those weird golf ball things. Aah, relief. But as soon as it wears off, you need more. The cycle repeats all throughout the colder months. Are you practicing responsible skin care, or have you become addicted?

Eye cream will help moisturise your skin and fight wrinkles, but it can also reduce the puffiness in your eyes if you keep it cold.

Over time, your bronzer, powder, or even eyeshadow can start to harden. It's not as fresh; it's not as easy to apply. Next time your makeup hardens, fix it with a little packing tape.
