I recently discovered a way to "stretch" my mascara! I found that if I add a tiny amount of oil (a safe type of oil for skin without odor/flavor such as baby oil) to a dried container of mascara and then use the lash brush to "mix" the oil with the mascara, I am able to stretch the use of the product!
Of course, you do not want to do this with mascara that is too old for sanitation purposes, and as I mentioned, you want to use an oil that is safe for use on the body. I love finding ways to save money! This tip works for me!

I don't like the idea of putting water or oil into the mascara tube. You can try standing the closed tube in a cup of hot water and see if the warmth will help the stuff to flow better.
I am sorry but it's not safe to add anything to mascara, whether it's dried out or not, because it aids in the promotion of bacteria and you certainly don't want to take the chance of getting an infection in your precious eyes!
I understand everyone's concern about bacteria issues. I have contact lenses which have to be cleaned every day with a good multi-purpose solution that also disinfects.
