ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon — Genre mauve-brown, soft-matte finish with hydrating, long-wear comfort

ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon in Genre delivers a weightless, soft-matte wash of mauve-brown color that hydrates and helps strengthen the lip barrier for comfortable all-day wear.

Designed as a hybrid between makeup and skincare, this retractable lip crayon combines buildable pigmentation with targeted nourishing actives. The formula layers smoothly without tugging, resists feathering, and is formulated to avoid common irritants while remaining vegan and cruelty-free. Genre is a versatile mauve-brown that suits a range of skin tones and styling moods, from polished everyday to soft evening looks.

How does this crayon keep lips hydrated throughout the day?

The Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon contains ingredients that attract and lock in moisture while delivering pigment. Lightweight humectants and botanical extracts work together to reduce dryness so color wears without flaking or uncomfortable tightness.

• Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the lip surface for visible plumping.
• Sea succulent extract helps retain water and supports natural hydration.
• Rosehip oil nourishes and softens the skin for smoother application.

Will the shade bleed or fade quickly?

The formulation is created to minimize bleeding and maintain a soft-matte appearance for extended periods. It balances staying power with comfort, so color lasts without drying down to a cracking finish.

• Soft-matte finish reduces transfer while preserving a natural look.
• Bleed-resistant texture helps keep edges crisp without a liner.
• Layerable pigment lets you build intensity without patchiness.

What skin-friendly ingredients are in the formula?

ILIA emphasizes clean, performance-driven components that support lip health. The crayon avoids common allergens and controversial additives while including targeted actives for hydration and definition.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate moisturization and plumping effect.
• Seaweed extract to help refine lip edges and enhance natural definition.
• Rosehip oil to condition and promote a soft, smooth surface.

How should I use the crayon for the best results?

Apply directly to bare lips or over a balm for extra slip. Define the lip edge, then fill in with short strokes; build coverage by repeating layers until you reach the desired depth of color.

• Use the tip for a precise outline and the side for quick fills.
• Layer thinly to avoid over-saturation and maintain comfort.
• Reapply as needed—formula is designed for touch-ups without flaking.
