New TikTok Trend….Using Sharpies as Lip Liner?!

Remember when your parents would FREAK OUT when you were a kid, and you’d draw on yourself with PERMANENT MARKERS? There’s apparently a new trend on TikTok where women are using Sharpie permanent markers as LIP LINERS.

 

 

One woman shared her technique and was so impressed that she’s asking Sharpie for “more shades.”

Other beauty influencers were less convinced.  One said, My lips weren’t burning, but I could definitely feel my lips drying out.  I wouldn’t recommend doing this regularly,  I can definitely taste and smell the chemicals on me.”

 

 

And if you are wondering, yes the chemicals are bad terrible for your skin. One poison control center states on its website that “permanent markers, including brands like Sharpie, contain ink that is made from the chemicals xylene, toluene and urethane resin and that breathing in the fumes can be harmful.”

 

 

Sharpie says that the markers are safe when used as intended:  For artistic purposes, not for make up. A dermatologist told Fox News that Sharpies clearly contain toxins that are “concerning” and “risky.”  They add that if you DID try this, you don’t need to be “super worried” about the effects . . . just “stop doing it.”
