7 Offbeat Vaseline Beauty Hacks

Our every-day-use petroleum jelly is synonymous with brand ‘Vaseline’. No matter how recent and modern beauty products we have known and used; this classic, iconic beauty formula remains our most desired keep.

This multi-tasking miracle balm smoothens our skin, gives us fancy feet, helps us get rid of flakiness and dryness, and heals wounds. But, did you know it can also benefit us in a number of other unconventional ways?

Here are 7 of my favourite Vaseline beauty hacks:

1. To make perfume last longer

Rub Vaseline on your pulse points before you spray your perfume and whoa, you are ready to smell amazing the whole day or night.

2. To make a DIY tinted lip balm

Put a scoop of Vaseline and a part of lipstick in a microwave bowl, heat, and let it cool down in a container. You can even add essential oils, chap-stick with SPF, and flavouring agents and give it a personal touch.

3. To lengthen and thicken eyelashes and eyebrows

Apply Vaseline before going to bed every night and you will see your eyelashes lengthening and eyebrows thickening. It also gives voluminous and shiny look to eyelashes, much similar to that of mascara. The petroleum jelly also helps in taming unruly eyebrows.

4. To make eye-shadow last longer

Turn powder eye-shadow into a cream eye-shadow or turn any eye-shadow into a lipstick or turn any lipstick into a cream blush. Pretty easy. Right?

5. To keep lipstick off teeth

Dab some Vaseline on your teeth and never worry about lipstick smears in your pearly whites again. The technique is used by almost every beauty pageant contestant.

6. To hide split ends

Tired of split-ends between trims? Rub a dab of Vaseline between your fingers and touch up your ends to hide dry, dull ends.

7. To highlight cheekbones

Vaseline can work much like a glowing and dewy highlighter or illuminator. It also amps up the powder blush by turning it into a cream, thereby giving a shinier, glossier look.
