Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created collection of lip products that brings the highlighter maker into make-up through a five-shade line. The collection reinterprets the recognisable shape of the Stabilo Boss Mini as a lip product, creating a link between highlighting on paper and expressing personality through cosmetics. Both companies describe the project as an extension of a shared belief that creativity is a form of self-expression and that colour gives people confidence to show who they are. Kiko Milano is described in the announcement as the number one make-up brand in Italy, while Stabilo is known for its iconic highlighters.
The range contains five shades whose names play on the language of writing and personal expression:
- FINE PRINT in brown
- AFTERTHOUGHT in mauve
- DON'T QUOTE ME in orange
- ON MY RADAR in red
- PINK(ER) in fuchsia
Stabilo presents the collaboration as a visible step in its transformation from a brand rooted in writing instruments towards an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. Michele Molon, CEO of Stabilo International, said that for generations Stabilo had helped people express themselves through colour, and that the company was now taking that spirit beyond the page into new dimensions of creativity and self-expression. He said the Kiko Milano project was a perfect example of how two iconic brands from different worlds can challenge conventions and create something unexpected, and described bold, imaginative thinking as part of Stabilo's next chapter. The company framed the launch as a move into a broader lifestyle space while keeping colour at the centre.
Simone Dominici, CEO of Kiko Milano, said the aim was to push the boundaries of colour and creativity to the next level and to inspire members of its community to highlight their own individual personality. He said working with Stabilo allowed Kiko Milano to bring that philosophy across categories, with a partner that shares its passion for colour and its commitment to creative people. Both executives positioned the line around colour, confidence and individuality.
The collection will be available in stores and online across Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as through Kiko Milano's directly operated European and Middle East e-commerce platforms. The two brands say the shades translate their shared creative vision into a palette intended to invite people to explore colour and express individual style, with the quality and attention to detail associated with both companies. The roll-out covers both physical retail and Kiko Milano's own online channels.
