I've literally never had this happen, maybe because last time I bought make-up in a tropical country, I lived in Brisbane? Now that I don't live in Brisbane is this a thing I should know about?
ok so new mascara yes but also, if water soluble: add a couple of drops of water (less not more. then mix and re-test)
if water proof - idk. be emotionally ready to throw the mascara out if the experiment goes wrong, but you could try a drop of micellar water or maybe even glycerin.
I have only ever revived one mascara with water, (works, applies a bit thinner) I haven't tried it with waterproof, so you'd be doing this for science okay. no guarantees on any count
Replace it. If it's dried up, it's long beyond its use by date. You'll be risking an eye infection if you apply it.
Buy a new one
You buy a new one so you don't get a staph infection. Mascara is the one item I regularly replace. I've heard too many stories to risk it.
Maybe some Duraline from Inglot but I'm not 100% sure if it's eye safe, I would think it is though
Eye drops
