november is here.  whether you like it or not, the holiday season has officially begun.  before you know it the turkey will be in the oven and the lights will be on the tree.  make sure you combine the chaos of the season with a proper lip color.  go a few shades darker.  it’s festive and appropriate.  here are some of our favorites.

caprice long wear lip color.  the alternative to red.  it’s festive and different.  plus the matte finish is a great contrast to holiday jewel tones.

acai crush.  for a bold red lip that won’t move.  it’s the head turner you need for your holiday parties.

daring long wear lip color.  for the vampy lip that combines a little edge and allure.  it’s perfect for a romantic holiday occasion.

cranberry lip glaze.  because we think your lips should shine all season long!

there is no better time than now to purchase the makeup to recreate the trends from last weeks amazing runway shows.  stila created two amazing sets to correspond with each show, allowing you to get each fashion forward look at a fraction of the cost.  a deal like this one is too good to pass up.  and who wouldn’t want to recreate these stunning looks below:

for rebecca minkoff, we love the emphasis on the lashline using a smudge proof waterproof eyeliner.  this is what makes smudge stick eye liners so incredible and why we loved using them backstage to create this edgy look.

as for the lela rose look, this picture proves how amazing a powerful lip looks.  there is no need to fear stila’s daring long wear lip color.  wear it with confidence and walk the streets proud – just like the models walked on the runway.

***one last tip…  no matter what trend you are wearing, great skin is always in fashion.  we loved working with our new and improved tinted moisturizer backstage.  it provides healthy, glowing skin that doesn’t look overdone.
