Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created collection of lip products that reinterprets the shape of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter for make-up. The five-shade line is positioned around color, individuality and self-expression.

The collection gives the recognizable Boss Mini silhouette a new role as a lip product. Its shades are named with writing and expression in mind: Fine Print in brown, Afterthought in mauve, Don't Quote Me in orange, On My Radar in red and Pink(er) in fuchsia. According to the companies, the palette is intended to invite consumers to explore color and express personal style.

For Stabilo, the project marks a visible move beyond writing instruments toward a more emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. CEO Michele Molon said the company has long helped people express themselves through color and is now taking that idea beyond paper. He described the collaboration as an example of two iconic brands from different worlds challenging conventions.

Kiko Milano CEO Simone Dominici said the partnership extends the make-up brand's focus on color and creativity across categories. He added that the aim is to inspire Kiko's community to highlight individual personality through the products.

The collection is scheduled to 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.
