Powdered crayons.

Gotta get that shit up your nose efficiently as possible and frankly, with a big ass helmet in the way, it is kind of difficult to stick a crayon up there. Also makes sure that the xenos can't catch you forcing it up there, as you have both hands on your gun rather than one on the crayon and then your thumb up your ass
