ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon — Case Study Red, Soft‑Matte Hydration & Long‑Wear

Designed to combine makeup performance with lip care, this crayon blends vivid pigment and a smooth glide with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, sea succulent, seaweed extract and rosehip oil. The finish reads soft-matte—reduced shine but comfortable wear—and the formula is cruelty-free, vegan and free from many common irritants and controversial additives. The shade Case Study is a classic red engineered to flatter a wide range of skin tones and be easy to layer or wear alone.

How does this crayon hydrate and visibly plump lips?

The formula incorporates hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture plus rosehip oil and sea succulent extracts to support surface hydration. Over time, these actives help lips appear smoother and feel softer without a heavy, oily slip. Because hydration is built into the wear, the color sits more evenly and resists settling into fine lines.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate moisture retention
• Rosehip oil to condition and soften lip skin
• Sea succulent for long-lasting surface hydration
• Seaweed extract to help define lip edges

Will the color last and resist bleeding around the lip line?

Yes—the crayon is formulated to provide long wear with a soft-matte finish that minimizes transfer and feathering. Its texture glides on precisely for clean application and builds without becoming cakey. The composition supports up to multiple hours of comfortable wear, while still being easy to reapply when you want to intensify shade or refresh.

• Soft-matte finish reduces shine and transfer
• Smooth glide for defined lip lines and easy layering
• Buildable pigment for lasting color intensity
• Bleed-resistant formulation for crisper edges

What makes this crayon a clean, nondrying choice?

ILIA's Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon avoids many commonly criticized ingredients and is thoughtfully formulated to focus on skin-friendly components. It’s fragrance-free, cruelty-free and vegan, and it omits talc, silicones, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals and other listed exclusions. This cleaner formulation helps deliver color without compromising comfort or barrier health.

• Fragrance-free and cruelty-free
• Free of talc, silicones, parabens and phthalates
• Vegan and excludes common allergens like nuts and gluten
• Designed to support the lip barrier rather than strip it

How should I apply and maintain the shade throughout the day?

Apply directly from the crayon for a precise line, or lightly outline then fill in for a fuller lip look. For maximum longevity, blot with a tissue and reapply a thin layer; the formula layers cleanly without becoming sticky. Remove with an oil-based cleanser or makeup remover to dissolve the pigment and conditioning oils.

• Use the crayon tip for precise application and edge definition
• Blot then reapply for extended wear without buildup
• Layer lightly to increase opacity while maintaining comfort
• Remove with oil-based cleanser or micellar oil for best results
