ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon — Gala brick-rose, hydrating soft-matte, long-wear

ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon in Gala is a creamy, soft-matte lip crayon that hydrates, defines, and delivers long-wearing color without drying your lips.

Lightweight and formulated like skincare, this retractable crayon combines pigment with conditioning actives so you get a defined lip look that also feels nourishing. Gala is a brick-rose shade that suits many skin tones, and the formula is free from common irritants, cruelty-free, and vegan. The product is designed to resist bleeding and provide color that lasts up to 12 hours while helping maintain lip comfort throughout the day.

How does this crayon keep lips hydrated while delivering pigment?

The Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon layers pigments with humectants and oils that attract and lock in moisture. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and sea succulents draw hydration into the lip surface, while rosehip oil adds emollience for a smooth feel.

• Hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture at the lip surface
• Sea succulent extract to enhance hydration retention
• Rosehip oil to soften and improve texture
• Soft-matte finish that avoids tightness common with matte formulas

Will the color stay put during my day?

This formula is created to resist feathering and maintain pigment intensity for extended wear. While individual wear time will vary with eating and lip contact, the crayon design and color technology help keep lines crisp and shade steady for long periods.

• Blendable, buildable coverage for precise application and long-lasting color
• Bleed-resistant texture to protect lip edges
• Retractable pencil format for convenient touch-ups on the go

How should I apply it for the best finish and definition?

Use the sharpened tip (or a lip brush) to outline the cupid’s bow and corners, then fill in with light strokes for even color. Layer for more intensity, and blot lightly if you prefer a softer, more diffused look.

• Outline lips first to define shape and prevent feathering
• Fill inward with short strokes for even coverage
• Layer for deeper color or blot for subtle wash
• Retractable design removes the need for sharpening and keeps application tidy

What ingredients make this a mindful choice for sensitive skin?

The formula avoids common irritants and unwanted additives, focusing on skin-friendly components that are vegan and cruelty-free. It’s fragrance-free and excludes talc, silicones, phthalates, parabens, and petrochemical-derived ingredients, reducing the risk of irritation for many users.

• Fragrance-free and vegan formulation
• Free from talc, carbon black, sulfates, parabens, and silicones
• Cruelty-free; no animal testing involved
• Contains botanical extracts and gentle hydrators
