ILIA - Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon (Deco)

ILIA is my favorite brand of lip pencil. It is listed as a hydrating crayon and definitely lives up to that name! I have bought three different shades of this crayon and love all of them. It goes on very easy and smooth and I color in my entire lip area with the crayon. Then I put my lipstick on top of the crayon. I found that Revl💄n in the color rose velvet matches this lip crayon in deco perfectly. The combination lasts all day!

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.

Wore it for a formal event and it stayed on for almost 12 hours and did not dry my lips!

This product is actually terrific. The color I use is Rhyme - just perfect. The only downside, which is why I gave it four stars, is that it needs sharpening fairly frequently. And you must have the large-size sharpener. Other than that, it is great. The need for sharpening does not deter me from purchasing it, however – I think I'm on my fifth pencil at this point.

Beautiful finish, color and "just~right" softness for lips. Perfect for lining and filling in pro-aging lips too! Love "Untitled" and "Pampas" ... natural 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.

Love the way it feels. I'm a light skinned girlie so the Banquette had a bit too much brown in it for me. I'm going to try the Deco.

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