pro artist tip of the week – the natural lip

Aug 29, 2011


for what seems like forever the nude lip has been a go-to.  sultry eyes and nude lips is a look to be relied on.  and while the nude lip is still a great option, we also like the natural lip.  what’s the difference?  The natural lip is exactly what it sounds like – a lip color that looks like lips.  it’s not overstated or understated.  it’s easy, pretty, and it's a great go-to lip option for your day-to-day makeup needs.  here are some tips to help you with your natural lip look.

-a good natural lip provides a flush of color.  for most people it is one shade darker than their natural lip color.

-what eye makeup should you wear with the natural lip?  it’s up to you.  however, if your eye makeup is subtler, bump up your blush!

-there is not one hue of the natural lip.  your natural lip shade depends on your skintone.  for some it’s a brown, for others it’s a light pink, etc.

-what to try?  try a lip & cheek stain in cherry, yumberry, or coconut.    also, the lipglazes are always a great go-to because they are sheer and provide a nice punch of color on the lips.

how to recreate the ultimate party look

Nov 26, 2010


happy black friday stila fans!  we hope you are decking the halls, shopping away.  the holiday season is full of countless activities and it's important to look your best everywhere you go.  because of this, we created what we believe to be "the ultimate party look".  consider taking elements of this look and making them your own.  or recreate it entirely for a festive look that is sure to have heads turning.  for more details, check out the step by step guide below:




step one: apply black smudge pot to the lid of your eye like you would an eye shadow base.  this will ensure that your eye shadow stays on all day and it also deepens the eye look for the sultriest effect.
step two: layer black cat eye shadow over top of the smudge pot.  blend the color underneath the lower lash line.  soften the look by adding ebony eye shadow in the crease.
step three: line the inner rim of your eye with onyx kajal liner and coat your lashes with major major lash mascara.
step four: complete the look with per suede prime color on the cheeks and acai crush on the lips.  for added shine, top the lips with kitten silk shimmer gloss.

pro artist tip of the week – thanksgiving must haves

Nov 22, 2010


happy thanksgiving week from stila!  we have so much to be thankful for, including our selection of long wearing lip products.  while thanksgiving is indeed a day for reflection, we also like looking good when we are celebrating and want every stila girl to be prepared for this special occasion.  since thanksgiving is a holiday that requires large amounts of food consumption, your lips should be a top priority.  after all, food is usually a top culprit for ruining that perfect pout you worked so hard to achieve in the morning.  in order to maintain great lips throughout the day, look good in photos, and skip the touch up, make sure you rely on these thanksgiving must haves.

lip stains.  what girl doesn’t have a crush on stila’s amazing lip stains that now come in 6 different shades?  we do.  and we might go bold this holiday and wear acai crush to our holiday parties.  it’s festive, fun, and extra longer wearing.

liquid lip color.  for a modern lip that is matte and pigmented, try the liquid lip colors.  these gems wear for hours no matter what color you choose.  plus, they won’t bleed or smear when you eat.

long wear lip liners.  lastly, try one of the new long wear liners.  they offer more pigment than a regular lip liner.  pair one with a stain or a liquid lip color to ensure that your lips look defined and polished this thanksgiving!
