Shimmer your way into Summer with Stila’s ‘Bohemian Beauty’ collection

Jessica Tidswell | 30th March 2018

Stila’s Spring 2018 Bohemian Beauty collection is here – transforming textures into rich, luxurious beauty products.

Bohemian Beauty introduces four new looks which are the perfect way to reach an affordable sumptuous look for summer.

MUA Sascha Jackson said: “Bohemian beauty is about playing with colours, playing with textures, being care-free, being your own artist and experimenting by putting things together that you otherwise normally wouldn’t and seeing how they work.

“The Artistic look is full on sixties. The Eclectic look is stunning, a pop of green on the eye then nude and monochromatic everywhere else. Free-spirited is very beach and summery, I get boho beach vibes with this one from its golden tones. And the Romantic look is like a modern take on the forties.”

Each of the looks comes with a step-by-step guide and a product breakdown, whether you’re a makeup up artist or a novice, this can help you achieve the visual you see.

The brand has been following the latest trends at New York Fashion Week, while incorporating some nostalgic features, which have been popular since it’s 1994 launch, to create up-to-date glamorous results.

Makeup pro Sascha Jackson said: “Stila is all about creating the best version of yourself with fresh minimalist makeup.

“There’s no target audience, Stila is for everyone, whether you’re starting out using make up, you’re a pro or you’re 80-years-old and just fancy a lift.”

The Bohemian Beauty collection introduces 14 new liquid eye shadows, six of which are limited edition colours varying from ‘Wanderlust’ a sheer gold and pink sparkle, to ‘Freedom’ a shimmering pale aqua.

The Shimmer and Glow liquid eye shadows are priced at £23 each, and are packed with pearly pigment, perfect for night and day.

Sacha Jackson said: “It’s about changing the texture to create a high-impact shimmering colour, the amazing pigment means you can leave the product dense for nighttime or blend for daytime wear.

“We took the favourite colours from the past to create a collection of dreamy shimmers which are rich and full in colour.

“The applicator has been specially made, it comes on a plastic, really flexible, wand, with little hairs which deposit the product evenly onto the eye lid.”

Having tried the product myself I when I got home, I can say it feels light to apply and SO smooth once it’s dried, there is no clumping and no dry flaky fall out, it really does just stay put.

It stayed on without any need of a top up for about seven hours, and then was really easy to reapply creating a lovely buildable colour.

As a makeup novice, I opted for ‘Kitten’ a vibrant nude pink, which I applied over Jezebel creating a lush combination of summery shimmers.

Side note: The Stay All Day Foundation has an amazing buildable coverage, really easy to apply and gives a dewy finish!

Kitten – Vibrant Nude Pink

Grace – Rose Taupe

Twig – Warm Chestnut Brown

Jezebel – Rose Gold

Starlight – Light Gold Champagne

Cloud – Cool Lavender with Gold Pearl

La Douce – Warm Gold Green

Pigalle – Cool Cranberry

The three Shimmer and Glow limited edition shades are inspired by Missoni and are priced at £23 each.

The seventies vibe-inspired colours are:

Carefree – Shimmering Pink Coral

Bohème – Shimmering Pale Lilac

Freedom – Shimmering Pale Aqua

“The fabulous Glitter and Glow liquid eye shadow launched last year as part of a collection called Glitter Underground revolutionising glitter, focusing on seventies glamour.”

The phenomenal product has returned for Bohemian Beauty with three limited edition colours:

Wanderlust – Sheer Gold and Pink Sparkle

Gypsy – Mid-tone Lilac with Magenta Pearl

Bronzed Bell – Bronze with Silver and Copper Sparkle

This water-based liquid glitter eye shadow is effortless to apply and doesn’t require any glue. It’s quick and simple application dries smoothly and sparkles from every single angle. It’s a winner with pros and novices.

The Smudge Kajal Eye Liner, priced at £15 is a soft, gentle, creamy liner, packed with pigment.

MUA Sascha Jackson explained how functional the product is: “All liners are great to pop on before the shimmer and glow, the nude colour is perfect to take in the waterline to brighten up and freshen any look!

“It’s a lovely product for people with sensitive eyes, it can be used in the waterline and safe for contact lense wearers.

“Also, it comes with a sharpener and smudger, so you can have a bold defined line, or create a smokey eye look in minutes.”

The Smudge Kajal Eye Liner comes in Intense Black, Nude, Espresso and Sapphire.

Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks have returned in ‘Sheer’ and ‘Shimmer’ textures.

Stila Pro Sascha Jackson said: “We are the first for innovation, and we created the first liquid lipstick back in 2010 and it’s still as popular today, that’s why we’ve taken what people love and created two new lines to make the product even more versatile.

“The untouchable formula lasts for 12 hours, it is long-wearing, induced with vitamin E and avocado oil so keeps the lips soft, comfortable and hydrated.

“Bohemian Beauty has introduced two new textures of the Stay All Day Lipstick, we’ve added six shimmers for a bit more glam or evening wear, and six sheers for more transparency, perfect for the natural look.

“The bi-phase formula is made up of ultra fine pearls in a water base to layer over any of the other lip products.

All colours in ‘Sheer’ and ‘Shimmer’ are available online and in store @ Harvey Nichols.
