Hello,
When I looked up crayons in WordReference it showed "crayon gras" but not "crayon à la cire." Would crayons gras work here?

crayons gras -- wax pencil, grease pencil
crayons de cire -- crayons
There's a difference between crayons gras and crayons de cire. I haven't really heard crayons à la cire used that much but presume that it's synonymous to crayons de cire.
crayon gras = wax pencils, perhaps the sort of thing that a stage actor would use ie. as makeup ?
