The Stila cosmetic brand, pronounced STEE –
la, is a twist on the word Style. A line of makeup products
that are generally geared toward a younger customer with hip
fashionable colors created to be naturally wearable.
Company Background
Initially produced by the Hollywood makeup
artist, Jeanine Lobell, who had a vision of a cosmetic brand
that would target a hip crowd who desired fashionable makeup
that would still look natural. In 1999, the concept was
purchased by the makeup giant, Estee Lauder. After a few years
of struggles, they sold it again in 2006 to an affiliate of Sun
Capital Partners, operating as Stila Corp.
Due to this recent shift in ownership, the
Stila cosmetic brand will now be predominately available only
through online retailers. While a store locator (http://www.stilacosmetics.com/templates/door/finder.tmpl)
still exists on their website, for most effective shopping the
Internet will be the main method.
The Stila Cosmetic brand has also approached
marketing makeup products in an updated fashion. Instead of
models or celebrities as showcases for their makeup line, their
design team has created “Stila Girl” - an illustration
identified as the company’s face.
About Stila Cosmetic
A popular makeup brand with teens, it still
has a lot to offer adults. The products are available in the
trendiest colors, but are light and natural in their
application. If a more dramatic look is desired, the makeup can
be layered for a stronger affect. As a fashion forward brand,
the prices are reasonable with $10 to $30 being the average
range for most makeup supplies.
Stila Cosmetics Company is a complete chic
beauty organization with fragrances, makeup, skin care, body
products and accessories rounding out their assortment.
Including an unique packaging style with both a modern flair and
environmentally correct, customers can relax knowing the product
packaging they purchase is made from recycled or biodegradable
products and has never been tested on animals.
