Despite the fun that makeup application can be, sometimes there simply isn't time to do a full face! In this instance, rather than feeling the need to buy new beauty products that promise a quick fresh-faced look, all you need is a tub of vaseline and a little know-how!

So what can Vaseline help you achieve?

Luscious lips

One of Vaseline's top uses is as a lip balm! To perfect your pout, all you need to do is exfoliate your lips and apply a vaseline layer. With this tip, you can say goodbye to your lip-liner as your lips will look smoother, softer, and more defined!

Vaseline is safe to use on any external part of your body, even the skin on your face (although oily and acne-prone types may want to avoid excessive use of thick occlusives). By dabbing on some vaseline onto the high points of your face (tip of the nose, cheekbones, brow bone and forehead), you can achieve that lit-from-within complexion without any highlighter!

This tip is also perfect for protecting your skin during the harsher winter months!

Open eyes

Lastly, Vaseline can help you appear brighter-eyed and bushier-tailed. Using a clean mascara wand or an eyebrow brush, apply vaseline to your brows and eyelashes to make them appear thicker, darker, and neater!
