The latest bizarre beauty fad involves using coloured pencils as eyeliner and lipstick – despite warnings from Crayola about possible health risks. 
 
 Teen beauty blogger Brook Eve has created a tutorial showing fans how to create make up from a set of pencils, insisting they’re ‘100 per cent safe.’ 
 
 The YouTube video, titled ‘How to make crayola coloured pencil eyeliner’, shows her warming up the pencils in a glass of water before applying several shades to her eyes and one to her lips. 
 
 Another blogger, Brandy Willans, writes on her channel: ‘Don’t worry if you get this in your eye because it’s non toxic.’ 
 
 There are also several videos online demonstrating how to make lipstick out of Crayola wax crayons. 
 
 The schoolgirls seem unaware about the potential health hazards of the trend, apparently assuming that ‘non toxic’ means ‘completely safe.’ 
 
 However, Crayola has made it clear that their ingredients have not been approved by the FDA for use in cosmetics. 
 
 ‘As a manufacturer of children’s products, safety is our top priority,’ the company says in a statement on its website. 
 
 ‘Although our products are non toxic, we do not recommend using them to make lipstick, eyeliner or other make up and strongly discourage their use in this manner. They are not designed, tested or approved for this purpose.’ 
 
 We know coloured pencils are super cheap, but really girls – please stick to Rimmel. ||||| NEW YORK, May 18 (UPI) -- Art supply company Crayola is warning against following the advice of beauty bloggers who have posted tutorials for using colored pencils as eyeliner. 
 
 YouTube videos from beauty bloggers including Rclbeauty101 have gone viral this month with tutorials showing how to soak Crayola colored pencils in warm water for a few minutes to soften them up enough to use them as eyeliner pencils. 
 
 "Companies literally make it so little kids can eat it and be fine," Rclbeauty101 says in her video. 
 
 Crayola responded to the trend on its website, saying the "non-toxic" label on the pencils does not mean they are tested safe to use as cosmetics. 
 
 "As the manufacturer of children's products, safety is our top priority at Crayola," the company said on its website. "Although our products are nontoxic, we do not recommend using them to make lipstick, eyeliner or other make-up and strongly discourage their use in this manner. They are not designed, tested or approved for this purpose." ||||| Published on May 3, 2015

 CRAYOLA was not involved in the making of this video, they didn't tell me to use colored pencils as eyeliner, and they didn't give me permission to, so this video is purely my own, they didn't make the product to be used like this, however it's equally as safe as regular eyeliner and people have been using the colored pencil eyeliner trick for a while. Use this at your own discretion though, I gained my information from the crayola nontoxic safety sheet form where they wrote that there were no potential health effects from the product getting in your eye, and this isn't a new trick that I came up with it's been around for a while, but at the same time every eye is different so test it but have saline near if you do feel irritated then you know that this diy is not for you! And of course ask your parents permission first.

– "The dog ate my eyeliner" was apparently enough for YouTube's Rclbeauty101 to bust open a box of colored art pencils and improvise—in a video that's currently sitting at 1.6 million views—and she's not the only one. DIYers are posting online beauty tutorials subbing in colored pencils (softened in warm water first) for eyeliner, UPI reports, while Metro adds that others are melting brilliantly hued crayons to create homemade lipstick. But one company you might think would love the publicity is instead issuing a warning. Crayola has put out a statement on its website saying its products "are not designed, tested, or approved for this purpose" and that customers shouldn't be smearing them all over their faces in the name of beauty. Rclbeauty101 points out Crayola makes prominent on its packaging that its products are "nontoxic." "Companies literally make it so that little kids can eat it and be fine," she notes in her video; she even calls a Crayola customer service rep to make sure it's safe for a colored pencil "to touch your skin." In its statement, however, Crayola stresses, "Although our products are nontoxic, we do not recommend using them to make lipstick, eyeliner, or other make-up and strongly discourage their use in this manner." But even Crayola's warning may not scare the masses—which isn't entirely novel, according to at least one DIYer on Twitter, as noted by KMSP: "Nothing new here, I was doing it in the early 80's when my parents wouldn't let me have makeup." (This trend may be an especially bad idea if you wear contacts.)
