Whether we’re thinking of a romantic night in, a big night out or a Galentine’s Day outing with our besties, how could we not think of that most iconic Valentine’s look of all – a classic, super luscious red lip? Meet Your Love Match Considered the perfect red by legions of fans and makeup connoisseurs, our Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in beloved shade, Beso is literally kissed with a no-budge, bleed or smudge 12-hour wear formula that keeps this statement red in place and looking gorge. This cult fave is also getting a fresh wave of love thanks to a new and improved formula with nourishing, plant-based ingredients. Consider this that makeup holy grail – a matte lip that actually feels comfortable all day. Bonus - It’s now waterproof, too.

This is an irresistible, high-shine Beso in a nourishing gel-oil formula that looks and feels amazing (never sticky).

Why Everyone is Blonzing (and loving it)
We love our bronzer. We love our blush. Now, those loves have merged into one beauty trend that’s easy and gorgeous on everyone. Enter: Blonzing. The idea is basically a hybrid of the two to warm up cheeks with a natural hue that’s a little bronzey with just a hint of a blush vibe. It’s perfect if you’re not blush girl and perfect if a traditional bronze seems heavy or intimidating. Another bonus – since blonzing tends to favor more natural hues from sunkissed to terracotta, these shades naturally have a built-in soft-sculpt effect, which is pretty nice. “You get all the prettiness of bronze and blush in a fresh, laid back way,” says Stila Global Beauty Director, Charlie Riddle. While blonzing is a definite thing right now, we don’t mind saying that Stila was ahead of the trend with our recent launch of Blush & Bronze Hydro-Blur Cheek Duo (now a Holy Grail Award winner from Cosmopolitan Magazine). Like pretty much all Stila products, this one’s a consummate multi-tasker. It’s a two-in-one color stick that pairs two complimentary shades so you can blush or bronze - or both by just layering shades. It’s also amazing (and easy) for some straight-up contouring or for adding definition (think, jawline). This genius wand also gives skin a dewy, seamless finish and a glassy, flawless look. A melt-right-in texture is definitely a big part of blonzing. We love that. Ready for some blonzing? Us too.

How to Do a Dark Lip – and Why You’ll Love It
Lips have always been a major conversation piece in makeup. They can make or break a look – and they can also be the whole look. That’s the beauty of the dark lip. Deep, bold lips are having a moment – whether it’s a nod to the 90s (and Stila was there!) or our love of a little drama. This should come as no surprise – after all, the look is stunning. Nothing says sophisticated glam like a dark lip. The thing is, it may seem intimidating at first but the truth is you just need a few tips and some stellar products to pull up the ultimate look. Allow us to guide you in a little dark lip magic. First, a smooth base is key. Darker shades are going to call attention to any dry or chapped lip situation, so your first step is exfoliation. Buff & Blur Lip Enzyme Exfoliator This gentle (and vegan) lip treatment smooths away dryness and patchiness with a blend of papaya and pineapple enzymes that buff for soft, hydrated lips and seamless lip color application. Extra tip: use a little lip balm after exfoliating but just a tiny bit before you go in with color. Calligraphy Lip Stain The genius of this game-changing lip stain is the two-way tip that you can slant to use as a precise lip liner and then shift to a flat slant to “fill” in with color. Start your lining at the corners of your lips to create depth and take your time lining cupid’s bow. Connect your line and voila, you’re looking at picture-perfect, stay-put lip definition. Some shades to try – Malala, Marie, Michelle Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick This is a cult fave for a multitude of reasons. It’s creamy, comfortable and the color stays on and on – up to 12 hours of color-rich wear. It’s budge-proof, smudge-proof and won’t bleed or transfer. Our pro-tip: line lips first with Calligraphy Lip Stain, then swipe on this liquid lip. Combos we love? Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick in Bacca x Calligraphy Lip Stain in Hedy Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick in Valentina x Calligraphy Lip Stain in Rosa For a deeper brown tone - Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick in Sheer Narciso x Calligraphy Lip Stain in Malala Makeup is always about creating, having fun, and playing with ways to express you. Think of a dark lip as just another way to do that. Have fun!
