6 Different Ways To Use Vaseline Other Than To Moisturise Your Lips
Pretty sure everyone knows what Vaseline is and that it is very good at moisturising chapped lips but did you know that there are many other ways that you can use Vaseline?
Read on to find out more!

Remember the frustration you feel whenever you are almost done with your makeup but your hand decides not to cooperate when putting on mascara? Vaseline will come to your rescue!
Scoop out a little product using a cotton bud and gently rub on the smudged mascara to remove it without ruining the rest of your eye makeup. Simply touch up your eyeshadow after that and you will look like the smudged mascara incident did not occur at all.
#2 Tame unruly eyebrows

If you have thick and long eyebrow hairs that cannot seem to stay in place, apply a tiny bit of Vaseline on the hairs after filling in your brows. It acts as a brow gel to keep your eyebrow looking neat and on fleek.
Remember to use it sparingly as it can look too oily if too much is applied. Now, you will not have to purchase a separate brow gel if this works for you!
#3 Make your perfume last longer

It gets really annoying to have to re-apply your perfume after a few hours because you are using a perfume that has a scent that does not last long. To tackle that problem, apply some Vaseline on your pulse points before spraying on the perfume.
The ointment holds the fragrance longer as compared to spraying it directly onto dry skin.
#4 Use it to highlight

If you have dry skin, using a powder highlighter will emphasise the dry texture of your skin. Instead, dab some Vaseline on the areas you wish to highlight.
As it is moisturising and has a subtle dewy effect, it can totally be used as a highlighter on the high points of your face.
#5 Tame baby hair

If you have a lot of flyaway hair and do not have any hairspray or gel, your Vaseline that is laying around in the house can help too!
Use a clean mascara wand with some Vaseline on it to comb down your baby hairs.
#6 Prevent stains when dyeing hair

If you are dyeing your hair by yourself at home, chances are you will stain your forehead, neck and ears as it is not easy to apply dye yourself without touching your skin.
So, to prevent that, apply Vaseline around your hairline, ears and back of the neck. The ointment clings onto the hair dye, preventing it from seeping into your skin and staining it. Simply use a tissue to wipe off after you are done with applying the hair dye.
