Female TikTokers, especially, may use mascara as a codeword for boyfriend (or men in general). This slang substitution became popular in early 2023, giving rise to the #mascaratrend.
For example, a user may caption their video "Don't let your first mascara ruin makeup for you." This translates to "Don't let your first boyfriend ruin relationships for you." Or, a user may caption their video "I've used only one mascara since I was 16. Sometimes I wonder what other mascaras would be like." This means the user has had only one boyfriend since they've been 16, and wonders how dating someone else would feel.
#Mascaratrend videos often use other mascara-related codewords to discuss relationships, sex, and SA. For example, they frequently refer to a certain distinctive part of male anatomy as a mascara wand, and a certain distinctive part of female anatomy as a mascara tube. They may also refer to the act of having sex as "using mascara."
