How to Save dry Mascara

The reason mascara dries out is because air gets inside the tube. I have a few mascara’s that this happens to very quickly because the wand tip is so large that when I put it into the tube it pushes a large amount of air into it.

However the #1 rule to keeping your mascara like new is to not pump it! That pushes air into and dries your mascara out VERY quickly!

And finally before I get to the tutorial, if your mascara is too old it’s not worth saving! Mascara’s P.O.A. date is 6 months. So if it’s older than that it’s not worth risking getting bacteria in your eyes just to make your mascara last longer, get a new tube! It gives you the opportunity to try new kinds, which is always fun!
