Make Your Old Mascara As Good As New With This Two-Step Beauty Hack

Cathy Donohue

Ran out of mascara?

When your favourite tube is on its last legs, forget pumping it full of air and try this genius hack instead.

Brought to our attention by Cosmopolitan, this tip will ensure you get value for money from that luxury brand you splashed the cash on.

Benjamin Ruiz, Laura Mercier’s director of global creative artistry no less, says that you’ll need some saline solution, the stuff used for contact lenses, and a hairdryer.

Simply add five drops of the solution to your mascara and then warm the tube with your hairdryer for 30 seconds so that the saline and mascara mix together, making an emulsion.

This will ensure you get all the product from the tube and aren’t leaving any waste behind.

Considering we’ve dumped a fair few mascaras because they dried out, this tip is one we’ll be referring to in future.
