They aren't meant to be swallowed some lipsticks contain heavy metal compounds which can be harmful, and it is more likely to cause allergies over the lip and depigmentation if your skin rejects the lipstick. There is no proof of cancer as such but the metallic compounds when consumed can cause a problem later on.
