If one cosmetics brand has the corner on achieving feminine beauty, it's definitely Stila. They don't pander to the latest fads (remember when everyone else tried to make black lipstick happen), but instead create products that are designed to help you look your most gorgeous, naturally. It doesn't hurt that celebrity makeup artist Sarah Lucero can create looks inspired by the down-to-earth girl all the way to the Betsey Johnson runway.
To celebrate the glamour and excitement of the red carpet, the Stila Pro Artistry team collaborated with E! to create a collection of camera-ready essentials for the 2012 awards season and beyond. Although we're past awards season, these products can seamlessly become a part of your makeup bag for the office or a special occasion.
- Stila for E! Live from the Red Carpet™ Solar Lighted Compact with All Over Shimmer Duo: This is by far one of my favorite products that I've seen in 2012. It's a solar powered compact that holds a lighted mirror and an All Over Shimmer Powder Duo. How fab is that?
- Stila for E! Live from the Red Carpet™ Bring Out Your Glam Eye Shadow Palette: This starry shadow palette is comprised of 8 universally flattering neutral shades for only $24.
- Stila for E! Live from the Red Carpet™ Smudge Stick Duo & Forever Your Curl Mascara Set: Two of Stila's coveted Smudge Sticks, one in black and one in brown, and a full size Forever Your Curl Mascara for $30. Now that's a value.
- Stila for E! Live from the Red Carpet™ Lip Glaze Trio: 3 "your lips but better" Lip Glazes in Lights, Camera and Action. Your closeup is next.
- Stila for E! Live from the Red Carpet™ Convertible Color in Gerbera: Hands down my favorite Convertible Color. You could have been out until 4am and this color will make you look impossibly well-rested.
If you were walking a red carpet tonight, what product would you choose to help you look your best?


Not even going to pretend - not only am I a devoted viewer of Pretty Little Liars, I totally have a girl crush on Lucy Hale. Her hair alone is worth many, many a blog post. mark's celebrity makeup artist, Mai Quynh, gave Lucy a peachy bronze look for the red carpet that is super easy to recreate at home, using the following steps.
