pro artist tip of the week – dramatic eyes

Aug 8, 2011


a few weeks ago we were hanging out with E! news and ken paves for some fun ambush makeovers.  we recreated some of today’s top trends including the dramatic eye – think kim kardashian!  this look was described as makeup, on top of makeup, on top of makeup.  sounds intense?  not necessarily.  it’s about using the right products in the right way.  here’s some tips.

-start with black smudge pot as an eye shadow base.  apply this to the lashline for depth and blend up for a diffused, smoky look. 

-top this with ebony eyeshadow.  layer and blend for a smoky, diffused look.  apply dune eyeshadow on the brow bone to polish the look.

-rim your eyes with lots of onyx kajal eyeliner.

-finish by lining with stay all day liquid eyeliner in carbon black.  then coat your lashes with several coats of major major lash mascara.

guest blog - heather from hello beautiful

We are excited to share an amazing review of our smudgestick eyeliners!  Like all of us at stila, heather from hello beautiful is in love with this fantastic product.  Read why below and check out the q&a to learn more about her.






i love my stila smudgestick!

love stila's smudgepots but hate the fuss? the stila smudgestick is a smudgepot in an easy to apply eyeliner applicator.  true to stila form, this liner is extremely pigmented, and the staying power is second to none.  the best part?  once you've applied this liner, it literally doesn't budge!  this liner doesn't flake, transfer, or fade.  the color range is beautiful;  my personal favorite is stingray;  a very rich matte black.  atila also has colors ranging from a beautiful slate blue (blue ribbon), to a must-have bronze sheen shade (lionfish).  and this liner will last you a very long time.  a little goes a loooong way!  here is why I put stila above all other traditional pen/pencil eyeliners:

pigmentation:  atila is best known for their superior color pigmentation - the smudgestick is no exception
ease of use:  this retractable eyeliner glides on smoothly and blends easily
waterproof:  yes, this is actually a waterproof liner
color range:  stila's colors range from rich matte to eye-catching shimmer shades
smudge-ability:  this product can be smudged; however, it does set quickly

this pencil is not meant for the waterline, though.  you are better off using a stila kajal eyeliner or the traditional smudgepot for the waterline.

stila is a fantastic company with consistently superior and innovative products;  the smudgestick is no exception and i highly recommend it!

guest blog - lindsay from belle belle beauty!

Jun 15, 2011

today we have a fun product review to share with you from lindsay at belle belle beauty!  read below to see why she loves our stay all day liquid eyeliner.  and learn more about her in this q&a...


have no fear, those of you who think you can’t handle a liquid eyeliner pen.  this stila thin marker-like tip is really a breeze!  the market is pointed to add precision and you can build the line with layers of application.  but that is just the beginning.  when I say “staying power”, i mean this sucker isn’t going ANYWHERE.  i can rub my eyes, shower and even wash my face and the line remains solid and pigmented as ever.   but along with no smudges comes a super fast dry. so be sure make adjustments as quickly as possible.  i generally prefer a black liner, and this is a wonderful, deep and inky shade.  but it is also offered in indigo and dark brown as well. won't be long before I cannot resist the "cool midtone blue".  this is absolutely my new favorite eyeliner, especially for these warm and sticky summer days.

daily candy event at fred segal

May 5, 2011


last week stila sponsored the daily candy event at fred segal in santa monica.  this jam-packed occasion was full of fun for everyone who attended.  what more could you ask for than food, shopping, blowouts, manicures, and stila makeovers?!  it’s no wonder people didn’t want to leave! 


the stila team had such a great time working with everyone at the party.  we used our new sparkle waterproof liquid eyeliners to add some light and beauty to everyone’s night.  they were a huge hit!  people loved them in all colors – whether they tried the bold electric teal or went more neutral with the rock candy brown shade.  thanks to all who attended.


btw, how cute are those lollipops?!  the perfect accent to our new summer lip glazes!!!

xoxo, stila

pro artist tip of the week – how to use sparkle waterproof liquid eyeliners

Apr 11, 2011

add some sparkle to your life with stila’s new sparkle waterproof liquid eyeliners. they are the perfect summer product, providing a mixture of beauty and happiness at the same time. we love them. and guess what? they are easy-to-use and very multi-functional. here are some suggestions to help you get started.

-remember to always shake the product first before you open. this ensures that you will have the most pigment per use.

-for a basic eyeliner look, trace your lash line with the applicator. if you are right-handed, use left to right strokes. if you are left-handed, use right to left strokes.

-want to try a cat eye? wing up at the second to last lash. sometimes this look is easier to create after you have applied mascara.

-don’t be afraid to go bold and paint the color all over your lid for a colorful eye look that will stay all day. you can sheer out the product for less color or build for more drama.

-we love expressing our individuality with these liners. you can too. try lining one color on the bottom lash line and another shade on the top lash line.

-lastly, make sure you keep your eyes closed while the product dries! once it sets, it’s not moving :)

the winner loves dark blue

Apr 5, 2011

have fun using these liners and tune in soon for another giveaway!
