(Plus, unlike mascara, Vaseline is easy to remove when taking your makeup off.)
She loved the results, explaining that her lashes looked “darker and thicker.”
Plus, according to Kilikita, the effect lasted for hours.

Soon, other TikTokers started duetting Kilikita’s video.
But it wasn’t until September that one TikTok, posted by Chantelle Fen, went seriously viral.
(Currently, it has 10.2 million views and over 893,000 likes.)
When Chantelle tried the hack, she agreed that it was a game changer.
“This is REVOLUTIONARY,” she captioned the video.
After trying the technique, she added, “That freaking works.”
Some TikTokers shared slightly different (see: more complicated) versions of the trend, too.
“These get me so many compliments and literally last me hours,” she captioned her video.
Khursigara’s version of the hack also got a stamp of approval from Vaseline’s own TikTok account.
“Our favorite hack,” they commented on the post.
Not ready to say goodbye to your mascara yet?
Still unsure if this hack worth trying out for yourself?
Read on for my honest review of TikTok’s new favorite eyelash look.
My Review
The Vaseline eyelash hack was simple enough to try out.
All I needed was Vaseline, an eyelash curler, and a spoolie.
Plus, the actual technique was straightforward and simple, and I had no problem following the step-by-step instructions.

Unfortunately, the results didn’t last.
A few minutes later, my lashes were already starting to fall and lose their curl.
An hour later, they were barely lifted at alldefinitely not lash lift-worthy.
That said, I probably wouldn’t try this hack again.
