Vaseline For Applying Pigments And Loose Shadows

Several of you have asked me to explain why I use vaseline as a base when applying mineral eyeshadows and to give you a demonstration. Vaseline makes a wonderful base for loose eyeshadow that helps prevent fallout and makes your colors really pop!

I heard using a very small amount of  vasiline on large pored areas i.e... nose and chin... under your foundation can help reduce the look of your pores. Is this true also? Or would this just be for eyeshadow?

[PrincessPinkcat]

@ShyScott13 That works for some people but you have to be careful because if you use it on your chin it can cause breakouts.

I have very oily eyelids. Would vaseline work for me? BTW the "bye...". in the background was very cute.

@sahus100 Thanks! I have oily lids first. I usually use a powder foundation on them to absorb the oil first.

But doesn't Vaseline melt???

[PrincessPinkcat]

@Ariegiggles Actually you would be using a tiny amount that it wouldn't.

Thats what i do too. People thought i was crazy. lmao

[PrincessPinkcat]

@golexygo Oh no... I'm trying to think of what would cause that. How much of it are you using? Also, are you using plain vaseline or the vaseline intensive care? Plain vaseline in the tub works best.

Okay--what am I doing wrong? I can't get it to blend with the vaseline!
