Step 1. Grab your eye drops (any brand will do).

Step 2. Add a few drops directly into the mascara.

Step 3. Replace the wand, and swirl it around inside. (Just be sure not to pump it up and down, which is what dried the sucker out in the first place.)

Step 4. Enjoy clump-free, smooth-as-butter mascara application.
