If you’re anything like us, there’s probably a little tin of Vaseline living in every purse, pocket, or bathroom shelf you own. While it’s a lifesaver for dry lips, this beauty staple has way more tricks up its sleeve than you might think. Here are some expert-approved ways to use it across your beauty routine :)

  • Brighter Eye Shadow: Apply a thin layer on your lids before shadow to make colors look richer and more vibrant.

  • Gentle Makeup Remover: Vaseline easily lifts away stubborn eye makeup — mascara, liner, and all — without irritating your skin.

  • Acne Soother: Believe it or not, a thin layer can help calm cystic acne by protecting and repairing your skin barrier.

  • Overnight Eye Moisturizer: Smooth it under your eyes before bed to wake up with soft, hydrated skin.

  • Manicure Protector: A quick swipe around your nails keeps polish from staining your skin and makes cleanup effortless.

  • Perfume Extender: Dab on wrists and neck before spritzing — it helps your scent last longer.

  • Brow Tamer: Use it as a quick fix to smooth, shape, and thicken brows.

From glowing skin to polished nails, Vaseline is the humble multitasker your beauty routine can’t live without.
