So I would assume the same applies to things like not using Colored Pencils as eyeliner. You know because although they are nontoxic, they also aren't up to code with the makeup code enforcer peeps standards for cosmetics.
With that said...why is this a thing?!?! Made so popular by YouTube makeup hackers that Crayola had to issue a statement about why its a bad idea. I just can't understand. I don't think I would ever be like "Hey, I really like this shade of pencil, let me put it on my lash line."
Makeup goes through a fairly rigorous trial before being released to the public. Things are added to it to prevent bacteria from growing on it and it is made so that it WON'T irritate most skin types. So why would you think that something, albeit nontoxic, that isn't meant for skin use be okay to be used as makeup...? That might not make sense, I am flabbergasted and having issues forming proper sentences.
Seriously though, what's next?!? "Hey don't want to spend $8 on a new liquid eyeliner, just use a Sharpie, I mean it's nontoxic so it's safe...right?" And I mean you know it will last, how long does it take you to scrub sharpie off your hands? Don't mind that weird smell that makes your eyes burn, that is normal. I just...wow!
Also, Wet n Wild, NYC, Nyx...those are cheap enough ($0.99, $2) MAKEUP brands that are sold at most Drugstores and have a plethora of colors available!
My favorite quote from the article, "It's like how you can eat a jalapeño pepper, but you wouldn't want to put it in your eye." ~ Dr. Mark Jacquot, O.D., clinical director at LensCrafters
At least most of B97's followers agree with us...bad idea!
