The creatives at stylist.co.uk used slices of vivid lipsticks from Guerlain, Nars, Sleek, Ilamasqua, Shu Umera and Lancome to recreate Damien Hirst's "Zinc Sulfate".

Believe or not, this rendition of Matisse's geometric collage was made entirely of crushed eyeshadows, ranging from Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gelee Powder Eyeshadow, $22, to M.A.C. Eyeshadow, $15.

To recreate the layers of color in Mark Rothko's "White Center", editors layered their favorite blushes such as Topshop blush in Prime Time, $14, M.A.C. Cream Colour Base in Pearl and Audacious Orange, $20, Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Crush, $26, and Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Coral Reef, $13.
