There are some things in life which I believe every girl needs; yes you’ve guessed it Vaseline! Not only is it cheap but Vaseline is multi-purpose! Here are just a few ideas that I’ve found Vaseline to be fantastic for! And as a blind girl, it’s a double positive! There are my hacks on how to use Vaseline on skin.
Blind Girl Hacks: 10 Fab Idea on How to Use Vaseline On Skin
Primer
This may not be an original thought for those of you who are into beauty and make up, but as an emergency Vaseline can be used as a primer! It gives your face the smooth and glossy look, while also moisturising your skin!
Fix Eyeliner
Whether you’re a pro at putting on eyeliner, or you are just starting out with experimenting Vaseline is a handy way of removing excess eyeliner. Simply uses a cotton bud with a small amount on the end and rub the thickest part of the eyeliner. It will remove it, without messing up the rest of your make up!
Teeth
Sounds a bit strange right? But applying a little amount of Vaseline on your top 6 teeth before applying lipstick will make sure that not only will your lips not stick to your teeth, but if you do have a lipstick stain it can be quickly removed!
Lipstick
Applying a thin layer of Vaseline on your lips a minute or so before applying lipstick will give your lipstick extra hold and extra shine.
Lipstick II
Not a big fan of lipstick, or just forgotten it? Use a cotton bud or lipstick brush and add about a pea-sized amount of Vaseline to the tip. Using your finger add some eyeshadow to the brush/bud, and gently mix the two. You can now apply your new lipstick shade to your lips.
Highlight/Shine
Add Vaseline to your brow line, cheekbone and cupids bow to give that highlighted/shimmer effect.
Makeup Remover
If your make up isn’t budging with soap and warm water, apply Vaseline to the area and gently wipe with a cotton pad. Be careful around your eye area! Applying Vaseline to your eyelashes helps give a glossier shine as well as helps the lashes to grow!
Nails
Applying nail polish can be a pain, especially with limited or no vision. Make sure to put a healthy amount around each nail before painting them, it stops the nail polish from staining the finger, and makes the excess easy to remove with a cotton pad.
Nails II
Gently massaging Vaseline into your nails is a great way of keeping your cuticles soft and healthy! If you’re lucky enough to not get varnish on your fingers, use the excess to rub into your cuticles, instead of removing it! Make sure your nails are dry first! 🙂
Perfume
Applying Vaseline on your sweet spots beforehand, such as wrists, inner elbow and collarbone, keeps the fragrance lasting longer throughout the day. Don’t rub your perfume, dab it! I really hope these tips were useful, they certainly make my life easier 🙂 Much love, Sassy x

Interesting tips! I was interested to read your point about eye liner. Which type do you use and do you have any tips for doing it without looking?
Hey Kirsty, i’m glad you found the tips useful. I generally use crayon or pencil eye liner. Here is a post I wrote about make up application, I reference how I put eyeliner on https://www.blindgirladventures.com/blind-girl-hacks-apply-make/
