Makeup has been a part of our lives for centuries.

As a teenager, psoriasis covered 90 percent of Sabrina Skiles' skin surface.

Everyone is familiar with the margarita. Typically when we think of tequila cocktails, it's the first that comes to mind. But what about its equally delicious (and powerful) sister the paloma?
