Is the latest TikTok Vaseline hack safe?

The trend involves using eyelash curlers to apply vaseline to their eyelashes.

It acts as a replacement for mascara and many users claim that it makes their eyelash curl last all day.

TikTokers have been warned to be 'incredibly cautious' over the trend since it could lead to eye problems if applied incorrectly

Saffron Hughes, a resident Make Up Artist at FalseEyelashes.co.uk advises: “As with any product, makeup wearers must be incredibly cautious with getting a lot of Vaseline in the eye.

"Eyelashes are frames to stop bacteria getting onto the surface of our eyes and getting a product in there that isn’t fit for purpose could irritate them and cause a reaction.

"If you do try this out, wash your eyes thoroughly with clean water to ensure no residue is left behind.”

"Vaseline acts as a lubricant and therefore won’t have the staying power we’re after. Although claims say otherwise, I can’t see this working for more than 5 minutes.

"To get the best results from curling your lashes, it’s best to opt for a quality curler followed by a waterproof mascara.”
