ILIA Hydrating Lip Crayon — Lip Sketch in Banquette, soft-matte long-wear with hyaluronic acid

ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon in Banquette is a weightless, skincare-infused lip crayon that delivers long-wearing, soft-matte color while hydrating and strengthening the lips.

This retractable crayon blends rich pigment with active skincare ingredients to give you a comfortable, defined lip look that resists bleeding and lasts up to 12 hours. Designed for daily wear, it balances color payoff with nourishing botanicals like sea succulent, hyaluronic acid, seaweed extract, and rosehip oil. The finish reads soft-matte on the lips without feeling dry, and the formula is cruelty-free, vegan, and free from many common irritants.

How does this crayon keep lips hydrated and plump all day?

The Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon combines multiple humectants and oils that attract and seal moisture into the lip skin. Hyaluronic acid binds water to the surface, sea succulent improves hydration retention, and rosehip oil softens and conditions. These actives work together to reduce the tight, dehydrated feel often associated with matte finishes.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate moisture and plumping
• Sea succulent to support long-term hydration
• Rosehip oil to soften and nourish lip texture
• Seaweed extract to enhance edge definition and smoothness

Will it stay put or feather outside the lip line?

This formula is engineered to resist bleeding while providing a soft-matte appearance. Its texture glides on smoothly and sets without crusting, which helps maintain a crisp lip edge. For extra longevity, pair with a matching liner or apply a thin translucent powder at the lip perimeter.

• Soft-matte finish that resists feathering
• Semi-opaque pigment for even coverage
• Retractable crayon tip for precise application
• Compatible with liners and topcoats for longer wear

How do I apply Banquette for the best results?

Banquette is a beige-pink shade that flatters many skin tones and can be worn alone or layered. For full definition, outline the cupid’s bow and corners before filling in the center; for a softer look, dab and blend with your fingertip. Because the crayon is hydrating, you don’t need a separate balm beforehand unless you prefer extra slip.

• Outline first, then fill for precise definition
• Pat and blend for a blurred, lived-in finish
• Use the tip for corners and the flat side for the lip body
• Layer for deeper color or blot for a stain-like effect

What ingredients should I expect and which common additives are omitted?

The formula centers on performance botanicals and proven humectants while intentionally excluding many controversial additives. You’ll get sea-derived hydrators, plant oils, and pore-friendly actives without talc, parabens, sulfates, silicones, or carbon black. The result is a clean, cruelty-free product that also avoids fragrances and common allergens like nuts and soy.

• Key actives: sea succulent, hyaluronic acid, seaweed extract, rosehip oil
• Free from talc, carbon black, silicones, and sulfates
• Formulation omits fragrances, nuts, soy, and parabens
• Cruelty-free, vegan, and clinically tested for hydration benefits

Who is this for: The ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon in Banquette suits anyone seeking a comfortable, long-lasting soft-matte lip color that also cares for the lip barrier. It’s ideal for people who want defined, natural-leaning beige-pink color without sacrificing moisture, and for those who prefer clean, cruelty-free beauty formulas free of many common irritants.
