StyleCraze Says: Crayola crayons are the safest option when following this recipe because not only are they extremely pigmented, but they’re also made from non-toxic wax. You can try many different colors, including metallic ones, if you’re into this trend.

For best results, use your fingers instead of a lip brush to apply this lipstick, as the heat will soften the wax and make it easier to apply. You can also do without lip liner with these lipsticks, since the wax does not tend to bleed. Remember to use lip scrubs and nourishing lip oils regularly to keep your lips looking healthy.

Although the wax in these crayons is non-toxic, it’s still not a good idea to use them every day. Also, it’s best to make sure you’re not allergic to any of the ingredients in these DIY lipstick recipes. So be sure to do a patch test before applying it to your lips.
