Who knew your old school supplies could become your next beauty obsession?
Italian beauty brand KIKO Milano has teamed up with iconic stationery company STABILO for one of the most unexpected makeup collaborations of the year. The result? A collection of lip stains that look exactly like the chunky highlighters we all remember from our school days.
Meet the STABILO x KIKO Milano Lip Mark(er), a limited-edition beauty launch that combines playful packaging with a surprisingly practical makeup formula.
And while the collaboration is rooted in nostalgia, the result feels perfectly suited to today’s obsession with effortless, statement-making lips.
What Makes the KIKO Milano x STABILO Lip Markers So Special?
Inspired by STABILO’s recognizable BOSS Mini highlighters, the lip markers feature the same chunky silhouette, only with lip color inside instead of fluorescent ink.
The lightweight, buildable formula delivers a matte finish, while the angled tip makes application especially easy. Use the wider side to fill in your lips or the narrow edge to create a more defined outline.
Think of it as the beauty equivalent of coloring inside the lines, only considerably more chic.
Five Shades, Endless Lip Combinations
The collection includes five shades, each with a cheeky name inspired by writing:
-
01 Fine Print: A rich brown.
-
02 Afterthought: A wearable mauve.
-
03 Don’t Quote Me: A playful orange.
-
04 On My Radar: A bold red.
-
05 Pink(er): A vibrant fuchsia.
There’s also a limited-edition gift set featuring three lip markers, making it an especially fun addition to any beauty lover’s collection.
Where Can You Buy the KIKO Milano x STABILO Collection in the US?
Here’s the catch for beauty lovers in America: the collaboration hasn’t officially launched in the United States.
Released November 5, the collection is available in select European markets, including Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and the UK, where individual markers retail for £12.99. There’s currently no confirmed US release date.
Still, between the nostalgic packaging, bold colors, and collectible appeal, this is one beauty collaboration worth keeping on your radar.
Because apparently, the coolest thing in your makeup bag this season might just look like something from your pencil case.
