No one here has any sort of imagination once so ever! Close minded zombie answers. Some of the worlds greatest discoveries came from people using things differently than their invented intent. Bubble-wrap was originally intended for wallpaper. Ya.
The marker holds to your lips for days and doesnt blotch or ever run off onto anything ever... it's amazing and bright and actually looks like the color of your natural lips if done properly!
In fact there are many cosmetic manufacturers that are copying this idea by having a pre- marker/stain step to your lipstick application so that when your lipstick comes off the tone of your lips isnt wildly noticeable. ...
Personally I find most of these brands overpriced and not even as good as a sharpie.
However yes sharpies are Toxic so there is a danger there.... of course so are many many many lipstick brands. Do you actually know whats in your lipstick??? Doubtful half of you have half a clue!
So why not try to go for a non-toxic brand of permanent marker??? There are many out there in a zillion colors usually intended for kids. Some are even alcohol free so you don't need to worry about drying out your lips. Ecosmart world is one of the cleanest office supplies companies I know. Kind of place that has logos like "Our paper isnt meant for eating but you could if you want to." I assume this extends to their markers lol
Crayola scented markers have alcohol and arent permanent but you'll smell like strawberries instead of sharpie :)
Ps yes Ive done the Sharpie thing under lipstick with great results as bright red is my color. It works with maroons too and I bet lots of other colors if you can find the marker and matching lipstick color. The toxicity worried me so I changed to a non-toxic marker. Now I bet the toxicity is on par with any non-organic lipstick from a major cosmetic company. I always marker stain my lips before putting on lipstick.
I find it funny that everyone ragged on you for the toxicity in the markers yet no one commended you for the use of a very natural product like flour instead of makeup foundation. Their products all contain this: DMDM hydantoin
BHUT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
bronopol
diazolidinyl urea
sodium hydrozymethylglycinate
imidazolidinyl urea
methenamine
quarternium-15, Quaternium-18, Quaternium-26 ....And yours is all natural! Except the bleach of course but still less toxic Im sure than compared to any store bought foundation.
No reason not to use flour as foundation if it actually works with your complexion. Less costly and less toxic. Why the heck not?!
That should off set the higher toxins you get from sharpie lips! lol ;)
You aren't normal though! You're creative with great ideas.... just when you get an idea that works sometimes you need to develop it a bit more. And whatever you do: DONT LISTEN TO CLOSED MINDED HATERS!!!
.. Most of the people on this thread are the people that would say "You cant use bubble wrap as wallpaper! Thats not what it was meant for!" ;)
Frisbee's were meant for pies but one day someone picked one up and threw it and now we have leagues.
Is it normal that I use sharpies instead of lipstick?!?!

Normal = Mediocre & Common
Be happy not to be one of these people.
