Your attention to detail needs to be spot on in order to see the hidden lipstick in this busy image.

If you have an impressive perfume collection, the above image will be something you're used to seeing. There are countless fragrance bottles in all different shapes and sizes - some are big and distinctive, while others blend into the background.

All these perfume bottles are distracting you from what you should be looking for - a lipstick. This is what brain teasers do - they distract your eyes and brain from seeing what's actually right in front of you.

If you're not used to them, it can be really hard to get your mind to focus enough to find the item you're supposed to be looking for. But if you do enough of them, you'll get better, and you'll slowly feel an improvement in your concentration.

Can you see the lipstick? (Chez Pierre)

Brain teasers, puzzles and optical illusions are also good for your overall cognitive function - helping improve things such as memory. So why not give this one a go?

Mind-bending optical illusion makes your brain 'adjust' after 10 seconds

This brain teaser, which was created by perfume company Chez Pierre, requires "high attention to detail", and apparently "only those with high IQ will be able to spot it".

According to the creators, one out of five people can't spot the lipstick at all, and for those clever few who do, it takes them on average 17 seconds. So set yourself a timer and see how long it takes you to locate the beauty product.

Struggling to find it? Try scanning each row one by one and take your time. Breaking the image up into sections is the easiest way to solve this puzzle. But don't worry if you can't locate it, we've popped the answer down below.

The lipstick is located in the top left hand side of the image. Did you manage to find it? If so, give yourself a round of applause because you must be quite clever.

Think you're up for another challenge? Why not try to find the hidden letter which is camouflaged among the Xs and Ks. To make things even harder there's a 13 second time limit, so beware, it's not easy.

Another puzzle challenges you to spot five specific items within an image of three people and a dog. If you can find them within 15 seconds you're deemed a 'genius'. Alternatively, you could try and find out your worst personality traits with this optical illusion.
