I think there are two types of makeup in this world: the makeup you want (like these awesome mascaras or gorgeous lip colors) and the makeup you need. I, for instance, will scare small children if I go outside before covering my dark circles, so concealer is one of those makeup items that isn't exactly fun but is definitely necessary in my case.

I know we've got a few lipstick fans out there (some pretty vocal ones, actually), but for me, it's all about the eyes. From trying out a new mascara to finding the perfect shade of shadow to make my peepers pop (try saying that 10 times fast), you might say I'm a bit obsessed.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a huge fan of Twilight (like, seriously), and I couldn't get enough of the cast at the MTV Video Music Awards last night! They took to the stage to give us a sneak peek at the newest trailer of New Moon (which you've GOT to see, it's the best one yet).

But before wowing the audience, Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene blew me away with their red carpet appearances. Luckily for us, the stylists from Pantene dished out the exact steps they took when glamming up the girls prior to the VMA's.

If you're anything like me, you'd love to just get and keep the skin you had in your 20s (well, minus the breakouts). Wouldn't it be nice, to never have a wrinkle or age spot pop up? Well, there are some serums out there (like these) that can get us pretty close.

Is anyone else in love with the show "Mythbusters"? You know, the one where they try and recreate common myths and urban legends to see if they're true? Well, I keep waiting for them to do a beauty-themed episode, so we can settle a few things once and for all (like that whole wax in Pantene conditioners myth, anyone heard that one?).

We get plenty of beauty questions at TotalBeauty.com (and if you have one, post it here), but when we saw this one -- from a woman in the Army -- we just had to share:

Have you been to the perfume section of Sephora or your local department store lately? Talk about daunting! There are SO many perfumes, it's practically impossible to choose. Luckily, we rallied our resources (a.k.a. TotalBeauty.com readers via our message boards) to find the top seven head-turning perfumes. And if after all that you're still confused, try this quiz -- it'll help narrow things down for you.

One of the hardships (ha!) of our jobs as beauty editors is trying all the different products that come into the office. We see a ton of samples every year, so for something to stick in our minds it has to be really good.

I'm thinking of starting my own beauty-themed comic book. The main super-hero: Eva Young. Her task: fighting wrinkles, fine lines and age spots wherever they may lie. Her sidekicks: these seven age-busting ingredients. What do you think, instant hit, right?

We've brought you quite a few lists of the best and worst products from different brands (like the best and worst Clinique, Neutrogena, MAC, Avon, the list goes on and on), and even if the brand is overall stellar, there are always a few products that don't measure up.
