Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created collection of lip products that adapts the recognizable shape of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into a beauty format. The collection comprises five lip shades, each named to reflect writing, individuality and self-expression. The companies describe the project as bringing together a shared belief that creativity is a form of self-expression and that color can build confidence.

The shade names and colors are:

  • Fine Print: brown
  • Afterthought: mauve
  • Don't Quote Me: orange
  • On My Radar: red
  • Pink(er): fuchsia

Stabilo described the launch as a visible step in its move from a writing-instrument brand toward an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. CEO Michele Molon said the company has long helped people express themselves through color and is now extending that idea beyond paper into new creative dimensions. He called the Kiko Milano project an example of two established brands from different categories challenging conventions and producing something unexpected.

Kiko Milano CEO Simone Dominici said the partnership aims to push color and creativity further and encourage the company's community to highlight individual personality. He said Stabilo shares Kiko's focus on color and creative consumers, allowing the concept to cross categories.

The collection will be available in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. It will also be offered through Kiko Milano's directly operated e-commerce platforms in Europe and the Middle East.

For Stabilo, the project links a core stationery silhouette with makeup, while for Kiko it adds a partner known for color in writing instruments. The companies present the line as a shared creative proposition rather than a purely functional product extension.
