stila debuted at london fashion week yesterday.  we had an amazing time working with matthew williamson.  sarah lucero created a beautiful look for his fall collection that focused on monochramatic tones.  recreate this look on your own with our in the light palette - the must-have makeup accessory for all your neutral looks!  also, check out these fun behind the scenes photos...

we love levis!  check out our team behind the scenes at fashion week for the levis fall 2012 collection.  what an amazing show!!!  xoxo, stila

we love everything about levis.  their jeans are legendary in the fashion world.  and working with them at fashion week was a dream come true...  a good pair of jeans is a wardrobe staple.  pair them with anything and you're sure to look amazing.  even better, the same can be said about the makeup that complimented levis fall 2012 collection.  consider the following when you recreate this nude look.

-nude makeup doesn't have to be plain and/or boring.  like a good pair of jeans, even the most basic items can make a statement.  contour your features to make sure they stand out when you are using neutral tones. also, don't forget key features like the brows.

-apply a natural color in your crease to contour and lift your eyes.  try one to two shades darker than your skintone.  we love the in the light palette because you can mix colors to create your perfect shade!

-don't let your cheeks get lost in the look.  instead, apply a natural blush or bronzer.  then use a highlighter on your cheekbones.

good luck! xoxo, stila

we love the "ethereal goth" look sarah lucero created for alice + olivia's fall 2012 collection.  not only did the look combine some of our favorite new products, but it was also bold and beautiful at the same time.  here are some tips to recreate this runway look in your own bathroom.

-keep the skin light and velvety, allowing the color products to stand out.  stila's HD beauty balm is the ideal starter product, creating a flawless canvas for makeup.  apply it all over the face and use a concealer where you need more coverage.

-dare to be bold on your lips with stila's daring long wear lip color.  for more intensity on your lips, mix the product with black smudge pot.

-the darkest eyes can be achieved with our new smudge crayon in black.  line your eyes first.  then soften where needed with ebony eye shadow.  finish with 2 coats of mascara.

happy valentine's day stila fans!  enter to win our favorite pink long wear liquid lip colors - caprice and petal.  one for your softer beauty days, and the other for the bolder beauty days.  both are amazing and stay on!

during fashion week the term "creative" takes on an entire new meaning.  in the hustle and bustle backstage, we have done just about anything to create the PERFECT look!  and one thing we do often is mix products.  mixing can create the ideal look or save time - depending on what we need at the moment.  while you might not be backstage with us, it's easy to add some creativity to your makeup.  and we thought the best place to begin was with our new beauty balm.  here are some tips for making this product work in nearly all scenarios...

-mix beauty balm with foundation or tinted moisturizer.  this is great if you are in a hurry or looking for a less steps with a similar result.

-use beauty balm as a finishing touch to fine tune your skin.  sometimes applying it last - where needed - can create that flawless finish you are looking for.

-mix beauty balm with one step correct if you want a little glow to the skin, but still want the HD effects.

-layer beauty balm.  this can build coverage and create airbrushed looking skin.  start small and build the product.



***the idea is to think outside of the box and remember that makeup is as individual as your signature...
