Of course you can’t use real crayons to draw on your face; everyone knows you’re supposed to stick them up your nose.

(Anyhow, good on ya, Crayola)

I hope there’s a product in there that’s actually called “Crayola Gender Fluid.”

Ooh this looks super cute. <3
I might buy some eyeshadow.
Ugh, but I’ve got a moratorium on buying more makeup this month!

Uuuurgh. Why is money? ╭( •̀ ︿ •́ )૭

YOU KEEP THAT STUFF AWAY FROM ME.
I’m deathly allergic to gender!

Edit: Bonus pride month manicure pic!

We used to use jelly beans - lick the red ones and do your lips with those. Of course, that was back in the day when red dye number whatever would cancer the fuck out of you. And for some reason the fruit flies really liked us. It’s cool to see things change over time in acknowledgement of what always was.

Sharpie Markers are better, and you only apply them once.

This is cool, I wonder how much of the color spectrum they covered over established brands

While this is true (preach it) I’m still appreciative of companies deliberately marketing it as such.
Lotta AMAB people out there who could benefit from the reassurance.

Gender-fluid seems like a weird phrasing. It sounds like the makeup itself switches genders. Gender-neutral? Genderless?

I prefer the super indelible never come off until you’re dead or maybe even later markers.

No one seems to like the term “unisex” anymore.

It’s sounds like something from the Marvel universe.

Let’s keep “gender fluid” as an adjective. As a noun it evokes substances that probably shouldn’t be on store shelves.

At what temperatures and pressures does gender-fluid become gender-gas or gender-solid?
