a foundation that stay all day

Jul 12, 2012



stila fans!  we are so excited about our new foundation.  stay all day foundation is an amazing product that does exactly what it says it does – stays all day!  isn’t that fantastic?!  in addition to its long wearing power, the foundation comes with a full coverage concealer and foundation brush.  use them together for the flawless finish you have been looking for.  and enjoy these tips to help you make the most of this product.

-choose your shade.  there is a color for everyone in the 16 shade range.  we recommend testing the shades on your cheek area.  the best color with look undetectable on your skin.

-buff your skin to a perfect full coverage finish using our #33 brush.  then apply the concealer overtop using the foundation brush provided.

-prime first.  a primer will enhance the appearance of the foundation and balance your skin.  we like to use one step correct underneath this foundation.

5 things to do with all over shimmer

May 10, 2012

we are in LOVE with our new all of shimmer liquid luminizers.  these beautiful liquid highlighters are a must-have for any makeup bag.  make the most of them with these multi-tasking secrets....

1. mix all over shimmer with your favorite lip and cheek stain.  this is a subtle, natural way to add shimmer to your cheeks without looking overdone.

2. use all over shimmer to highlight your eyes.  dab the liquid on the ball of your eyes and the inner well to make them look bigger.

3. add a drop of all over shimmer to your favorite foundation.  this is an easy way to transform your foundation and make your skin glow.

4. mix all over shimmer with your body lotion to make your skin look smoother and sexier for a special occasion.  this trick works wonders on the red carpet :)

5. apply all over shimmer on the cheekbones with a foundation brush to enhance your features and slim your face.


happy highlighting!  xoxo, stila
