Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon (Gala)

Another winner from Ilia. This saturated color hydrating lip crayon is so versatile and has great staying power. The matte finish is great on its own, but its superpower is being the base for the blend of several colors/products (I like to customize). Keeps everything in place longer and harmonizes with other lip products opening up a whole world of lip color creation. Looks better after several hours of wear than lots of long-last lip color. Fades in a way that looks more subtle — less old lady blotchy — than matte color usually offers. Add lip balm over it at the end of the day to bring a more subtle final life to it. After first applying it, let it sit for a couple minutes to melt into your lips and open up the color. Worth the price for solid hydration, great coverage, and smudge resistance after it sets. Easy application and forgiving for first minute, letting you clean up your lines before it clings to the skin.

Color works with every complexion, makes lips softer and stays put.

I love Ilia products, this color is just not great. The product itself is good quality and I will definitely purchase in a different color.

Great lip liner that works also as the foundation under clear lip gloss. The color is elegant, it stays on my lips which is surprising while it is smudge resistant. It's well worth the money as it lasts for a long time.

I love this lip crayon! Been a fan of ilia for years and was so excited when they launched this. I use it as a lip liner and then put a gloss on top and it really locks in the color while keeping my lips moisturized for hours. I got the shade gala which is a more neutral mauve color, my fave for my lips! Would definitely re-purchase. It’s been months and I still have plenty left, so it should last a long time.
