There are a few tricks you can try to get more out of your mascara tube:
1. Warm it up: Before using your mascara, hold the closed tube in your hands for a few minutes to warm up the product. This will help soften the formula and make it easier to apply, allowing you to get more product onto your lashes.
2. Scrape the wand: When you pull the mascara wand out of the tube, gently scrape off any excess product on the rim of the tube. This will prevent clumping and help you use the right amount of mascara for each application.
3. Don't pump the wand: Avoid pumping the wand in and out of the tube, as this can introduce air and dry out the mascara faster. Instead, twist the wand inside the tube to pick up product.
4. Add a few drops of saline solution: If your mascara is starting to dry out, you can try adding a few drops of saline solution (like contact lens solution) into the tube. This can help revive the formula and make it easier to apply.
5. Use a clean spoolie brush: When you feel like you've reached the end of your mascara tube, try using a clean spoolie brush to scrape the remaining product from the sides and bottom of the tube. This can help you get a few more uses out of it.
Remember, it's important to replace your mascara every three to six months to prevent the risk of bacterial contamination and eye infections.
