Moisturizing Lip Sketch Lipstick | Hydrates, Volumizes, Smoothes & Strengthens | Long Lasting Up to 12 Hours, Transfer Resistant, Smooth Matte Finish | Creates a Protective Barrier, N

Favorite soft and creamy lip liner stick. It hydrates and lasts long. The color is natural and beautiful!

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.

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.

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

I went to purchase this originally from Sephora. I wanted something moisturizing and I wanted a specific color..Banquette. I just did not know how it would look on my face. Someone from Sephora told me that another brand works better and encouraged another color (more orangey, to enhance my warm face.) I was SO UNHAPPY with it. It was drying and way too matte, like colored chalk on your lips. So I took the gamble and ordered it through Amazon. I love the crayon concept, for me it is easier to carry around. The color is gorgeous! It glides nice and is not too matte. AND it is moisturizing. And it makes me feel lovely, no thin lips for me! I hope this review helps!
