This wonderful multi-purpose product has one more delightful use in its kitty. Vaseline can actually make your eyelashes grow longer and thicker. Don’t believe me?
Then here’s an excerpt of the post at Blog for Beauty (site no longer available)“We first heard about this trick from a friend who said her mother and aunts applied Vaseline to their eyelashes and eyebrows to make it grow. So we tried it for about 3 weeks. It did not make the actual eyelashes right then grow, but once it fell out and grew out new ones, they were longer. MUCH longer. There’s no scientific reason as to why this works, and we don’t care. It works, it works, it works!”
This craze for long and thick eyelashes is such that girls and women of all ages are constantly trying out all kinds of products and remedies under the sun. Though many claim that castor oil is effective, there is no scientific evidence or data to prove it. Read about it in “Castor oil may not make your eyelashes grow longer”.
So this time around, just try and use the good old Vaseline and see if it makes any difference to your lashes. Personally, I haven’t tried either Vaseline or castor oil on my eyebrows or lashes. My lashes are naturally long and thick, you see. :)

I love the Vaseline. It really does make lashes longer and thicker. One of the best to come out in the past couple of years.
do you apply it before you go to bed or underneath your mascara?
You should remove all traces of eyemakeup before you go to bed and then apply vaseline with a clean mascara wand. Do this for at least a month and see if it works for you.
Has anyone tried both castor oil and Vaseline to compare results? It's interesting that the article admits there is no scientific evidence to prove either one, yet dimisses one and not the other. Why?
If you apply the vaseline the night before and continue this can you still wear mascara? or only a little?
You have to remove all traces of Vaseline on your lashes before applying mascara.

i just took off my eye lashes i used to have long eyelashes i just wanted a thicker look but now my eyelashes have gonee thin . so if i start using vaseline will my eyelashes drop off like ive read in previous comments ?
I use Vaseline to remove my mascara, eye liner and shadow everyday. This works before or after a shower and doesn't sting if you get it in your eyes. Plus, it's very cheap. I've been using the same Vaseline jar for over a year and it was under $3.00.
This is exactly what i’ve been looking for!
Thanks again, you’ve been a tremendous help.
I say use the Vaseline.
It really does make your lashes thicker
Thanks for this article!
Vaseline is not good for your lashes. It offers no nutrition for them and is more greasy than moisturizing. Not to mention, Vaseline will irritate your eyes, make a mess and can potentially clog the pores around your eyes. To achieve nourished lashes look for a mascara formula that offers vitamin and cola gen rich ingredients. If you don't want to deal with colored mascara look for a clear one that offers these benefits. Many times lash primers offer these benefits as well and these have little color and can be worn on their own over night. The shedding of lashes is likely related to just your cycle of hair loss... we all loose and re-grow lashes regularly. The Vaseline probably just stuck them to your eye which made it more noticeable. Clogging the pores around you eye however can lead to hair loss, just like it would do on your scalp, so no more vaseline!!!
Eyelashes like other hair falls out to replace itself later. They go through stages. Try using a volumizing, conditioning mascara.
I’ve always been interested in big eyelashes, thanks for posting this!
For sheen on the eyelids, dab a bit of Vaseline for a pretty reflective quality, as well as moisture.
wah thanks! never knew that Vaseline could also do the magic
Longer and thicker eyelashes can be yours now with Vaseline
This worked wonderfully!
Simply brilliant. (:
Thanks so much.
so if I put the vasline on my eyelashes every night will it make them grow back out longer adn thicker
Mascara looks good only if your eyelashes are in good condition. Use a good lash conditioner to improve the quality of your lashes.
R.Firdaus I have been applying castor oil everynight before going to bed(with old mascara wand) and my eyelashes are really growing longer.I have been doing it for the past 20 days and the results are positive, but remember to wash your eyes the next morning as soon as you wake up.
i just started doing it last night, i hope it works!!!
Do you apply the vaseline to your lashes or to your lids?
is it true that once your eyelashes fall out, they don't grow back? :O That's what my mom told me..
And do you eyelashes fall out if you use vaseline?
Just like the rest of your hair, eyelashes too have a lifespan and fall out from time to time. From what I have read, eyelashes tend to fall out after 150 days and new ones grow in their place. So don't worry about losing your eyelashes, unless you have a serious medical problem like Trichotillomania, Alopecia Areata (AA)or Blepharitis. Vaseline won't make your eyelashes to fall off, you have to however apply it carefully and not rub them vigorously when you are taking it off.
Hey all, I use a cosmetic called Revitalash. It is a lash conditioner that helped my lashes grow longer and thicker. It was much less expensive than latisse and does not have the nasty side effects of the drug. I love it and am not afraid to use it because it was created by an eye doctor!!
This is exactly what i’ve been looking for!
Thanks again, you’ve been a tremendous help.
ActivLash is an Eyelash Growth Serum which nourishes the hair follicle to reach its maximum capacity - long and thik eyelashes BUT doesn’t contain prostaglandin so it’s 100% safe to use (no darkenining of your eye color, no irritations, no blurry vision)!! i saw results after 3 week of use with out any eye irritation!
The true answer to how to grow eyelashes lies in the foundation of conditioning your thin eyelashes extensively so that they are prone to grow in faster
Use Castor or olive oil. Their natural properties can actually encourage the growth of your eyelashes. A lot of women are currently using this method, simply because they have been truly effective and easy to use. The problem with them is that they can be very messy. Anyway, all you need to do is to coat your eyelids with their oil at nighttime and remove it in the morning.
i dnt no wat everyone else is on about but ive its good!!
