I’ve always been enamored with celebrity ad campaigns, but even more than the glamorous end product, I’m super interested in what goes on behind the scenes. (Maybe that’s why I love reality TV so much…) When I take a special look at what goes into creating a specific makeup or hair look, my heart races. Plus, it puts new and notable celebrity products on my radar. You can imagine my excitement when I saw it Chrissy Teigen post a behind-the-scenes look at her latest shoot on Instagram, and I was even happier to see her makeup artist’s exact lip product, Billie Gene, used to get the most perfect baby pink pout: the Ilia Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon.
As someone who has recently become obsessed with lip liners (they really are the key to defining and volumizing your pout, without the shine), this new formula from Ilia really piqued my interest. A cross between a lip liner and a creamy lipstick, this multi-action lippie feels like a hydrating lipstick – thanks in part to seaweed extract, hyaluronic acid and rosehip oil, three ultra-nourishing hydrators – yet offers super-precise application that I’ve only experienced with a real lip liner .

It makes sense that Gene would use this this piece of chalk on Teigen for a long day of shoot, given its 12-hour longevity and richly pigmented color. While there are plenty of colors to choose from, I love Pink Door, the soft pink Teigen is wearing. The neutral shade leaves an effortless baby pink note that flatters all skin tones.
Teigen is far from the only person who has quickly fallen in love with this product. It only launched a few months ago, and hundreds of Sephora shoppers have already waxed poetic about the long-lasting, moisturizing formula. “Beautiful color, beautiful application due to the width and nice shelf life! This is a real – go – every day – throw it on lipstick,” writes one satisfied customer. Another mentions that the crayon has simplified her routine and she appreciates that it is particularly useful for on-the-go use.
If you’re looking for the ideal soft pink lipstick, want a hybrid lippie that condenses your routine, or simply want a reliable, long-lasting formula, the Ilia Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon might be just what you need. The real question is: which of the twelve colors will you choose?
