pro artist tip of the week – it’s time for dark lips!

Nov 7, 2011


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!

what the pros think you need this holiday...

Nov 4, 2011

we asked our pro artists what stila products they thought made perfect holiday gifts.  read below if you need ideas for that special someone!

sulema. the dream in full color palette is a dream palette for any artist or an aficionado of makeup - every color in the spectrum, shimmers, mattes, and the perfect black liner to compliment it.  the best part - only 39 bucks!!!  love it!

christine. illuminating tinted moisturizer is the perfect product for holiday parties and a great way to brighten dull skin - perfect during the winter in canada when your skin gets pale. this product is great to use in various ways - mix with foundation, wear alone, or use as a highlighter.

francesca.  the best gift i could ever get from stila would be illuminating powder foundation to illuminate me, brighten & correct to conceal me, petunia convertible color to brighten me up, kitten eye shadow and yumberry crush for a pop of holiday cheer - all wrapped up in a pretty bow!!!

ginger.  i stock up on the holiday lip glaze set at christmastime and break them apart to give to friends, teachers, neighbors, family, everyone!  they make great stocking stuffers and the limited edition colors are so pretty.  the lip glaze is also rich in vitamin e, which is a major must in colorado!

dominick. my favorite holiday gift is stila sun - especially during the winter holiday season when i feel a little pale.  it gives the right amount of color without looking orange.  my favorite part is that it brightens my skin without looking like i took a dive into the 70's disco pool.  it's a perfect gift for anyone.

lidia. the sparkle eyeliners are unexpectedly beautiful from subtle sexy shimmer to dazzling jewel tones.  they are the perfect festive gift that will bring a twinkle to anyone's eyes!

stephanie. i LOVE lover on my lips and gladiola on my cheeks.  it's the perfect holiday look and i've started rocking it already.  the red is oh-so-hydrating for the blustery pittsburgh days.  and gladiola is a beautiful neutral to compliment this red lip look.

jason. everyone needs stila's stay all day liquid eyeliner.  it's a beauty enhancement.

charles.  kitten glitter eyeliner is the perfect gift to add glitz and glamour to any girl's look.  this adds the right amount of shimmer in a soft, romantic light.  beautiful!

david.  my favorite product to gift for the holidays is kitten all over shimmer duo.  when you are feeling lackluster, it provides the perfect pick me up.  i love using it to add a soft glow to the cheekbones and eyes.  plus when you pair it with illuminating tinted moisturizer it gives you that glowing goodness skin.

starr. everyone needs illuminating tinted moisturizer, sparkle liquid eyeliner, kitten silk shimmer gloss, and glamoureyes mascara - all wrapped up in a small lil' stock for holiday stila style!

tracy. custom color coral is what i recommend to everyone.  it is just enough shimmer to brighten up your holiday look and the color goes with everything.  i love the soft, youthful finish.


happy shopping!!!  xoxo, stila

pro artist tip of the week - party makeup!

Oct 3, 2011

holiday season is just around the corner, which means parties galore!  with all of the celebrating you have in store, we want to be sure you look and feel your best.  here are a few tips to make the most of your party makeup.

-take your makeup up a level for the party you are attending.  try darkening your eye shadow or wearing a bolder lip color. 

-use long wearing products when you are going to a party.  this way you can focus on the party and forget the touchup!

-wear a foundation that suits the party’s environment.  the type of party can affect your skin.  if it’s an outdoor event, you might prefer a foundation that is long wearing like perfect & correct.  if it’s fancy and you want your skin to glow, you might consider illuminating liquid foundation.

-add some shimmer.  kitten all over shimmer is the perfect finishing touch to any party makeup look.  it’s subtle and effective. 

-apply one more coat of mascara, just because.  we love mascara and you’re going to a party so coat away!

easter makeup ideas

Apr 20, 2011


the easter holiday is approaching.  this weekend many of you will probably be dying eggs, visiting the easter bunny, going to family dinners, and more.  how fun!  in need of makeup help for these events?  we have it. 

-a pastel lip is a must.  it reflects the colors of the season.  smile when you wear it and share your happiness with others.  not sure what color to use?  we love the new lip glaze shades – try bubblegum or mulberry!

-keep the eyes simple with bold liner and minimal shadow.  we suggest prime pot all over the eyes and sequins sparkle waterproof liquid eyeliner.  this combo will highlight your eyes without looking like too much makeup.

-lastly, don’t forget your cheeks.  a good blush makes you look healthy, happy, and polished.  for this occasion a natural flush of color is perfect.  you can achieve this with the custom color blush.  we love this blush.  it works like a charm every time, on everyone.

happy easter stila fans!  xoxo

bright pink lips.  do you want your lips to look extra kissable this new year’s eve?  go pink!  it’s girly, attractive, and fun.  plus it’s on trend.  we recommend our long wear liquid lip color in caprice.  this lip product won’t come off – even when the ball drops at midnight and you’re being kissed by that special someone!

classic cat eye.  there is nothing hotter right now than the classic cat eye.  and with stila’s stay all day liquid liner, this look is sure to stay on all through the night (and maybe through new year’s day as well! – haha!) 

colorful eyes.  lastly, consider being a little artistic this new year’s eve.  go colorful with your eye makeup.  use stila’s eye shadows wet to make an impression.  we are loving copper, wisteria, pewter, and pigalle right now – all shades are perfect for any party.

how to look fabulous in fiji

Nov 23, 2010

are you heading to fiji this holiday? it’s a romantic and exotic destination that is known for relaxation, beauty, and adventure. whether you plan to stay in a hut, lounge on the beach, or explore the volcanoes in the area, looking good is always a priority. fortunately, stila has created a fiji palette just for you. this palette will allow anyone to translate the beauty of the islands into their makeup look. try this anyday – on vacay or when you're in need of a change. it’s a fun colorful look that we love. here’s how to recreate it.



step one: dust r&r from the lash line to the brow bone using stila’s #9 brush.
step two: apply escape on the lid using the large end of stila’s #15 brush.
step three: line the upper lash line with wave. use stila’s #4 brush wet and wing up at the second to last lash to create a cat eye effect.
step four: blend palm onto the lower lash line using the small end of the #15 brush.
step five: complete the look with glamoureyes mascara, and plumeria on the lips and cheeks.

***pro tips: to brighten the eye, apply topaz kajal eyeliner on the inner rim. and for hydration and shine, apply mocha lip glaze to the lips.
