Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created collection of lip products that translates the shape of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into make-up. The collection comprises five lip shades, each named with a phrase drawn from writing and personal expression.
The shades are Fine Print, a brown; Afterthought, a mauve; Don't Quote Me, an orange; On My Radar, a red; and Pink(er), a fuchsia. According to the two companies, the names celebrate individuality, self-expression and confidence, while the colours invite wearers to explore their own style.
The collaboration connects highlighting on paper with expressing personality through make-up. Both brands describe colour as a means of self-expression and say the project reflects a shared belief that creativity gives people confidence to show who they are.
For Stabilo, the launch is described as a visible step in its transformation from a brand rooted in writing instruments toward an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. Michele Molon, CEO of Stabilo International, said the company has helped generations express themselves through colour and is now taking that spirit beyond the page. He described the Kiko Milano project as an example of two iconic brands from different worlds challenging conventions.
Simone Dominici, CEO of Kiko Milano, said the partnership aims to push colour and creativity further and to inspire the company's community to highlight individual personality. Kiko Milano describes itself as Italy's number one make-up brand.
The collection will be sold in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. It will also be available through Kiko Milano's directly operated e-commerce platforms in Europe and the Middle East.
