We cyber-chicks may sit all day at our computers, but we need not neglect our lipstick. Check the following sites for everything you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask about the cheekiest of cosmetics.

You've already found The Lipstick Page if you're a fanatic. Its Cosmetics Exchange Network helps you find friends around the world who can get brands and shades not available at a store near you. Wondering about the difference between Clinique's Terracotta and Iman's Bonfire? It's all in the Lipstick Library, which includes color swatches of hundreds of shades.

The against-the-grain colors like Oil Slick and Asphyxia at Urban Decay Cosmetics are just the beginning. The funniest offering here is "alt.uses," creative suggestions for lipstick use including "play spin the lipstick case after hours at the office."

The folks behind Heather's Wide World of Samples are cosmetic-consumer advocates. They test and review freebies available at department store cosmetic counters, then share their techniques for getting free samples.

Find out which shades the stars prefer (Heather Locklear loves Sand Pink Shimmer) at make-up artist Bobbi Brown's Hollywood page. Check the Events listings to see when you can get a free makeover in your area.

Buck's Lip Link is one Oklahoma gal's homage to red, red lips. In addition to her reviews of popular brands and colors, read her attitude-laden rules for lips: "Remember, grrrrls: 1) Know where your lips are. Every woman should be able to line her lips and apply lipstick without a mirror. 2) Never date a geek who can't stand lipstick on his/her face."

Fill out the e-mail questionnaire and receive a free skin type analysis from A Fashion Experience, which also provides cosmetic tips and offers monthly sales on its own products.
