The Life-Changing Mascara Hack Every Woman Needs To Know

"Whenever I seem to be out of mascara, I run to my kitchen and fill a mug with water," she writes. "I throw it in the microwave for a minute, then place the mascara tube in the mug for a few minutes while I run to get dressed. When I return, the dried-up mascara has loosened and I have more product in the tube again." 

If you're really running late, Siegel suggests using the saline solution that you use for your contacts to get the all of the mascara out. "I place a few drops in the tube of mascara, which usually provides enough moisture to be able to get a good amount of mascara on my lashes with a few passes of the wand," she explains. 

That sounds like it will get the job done, right? If you're still stuck and are certain that there's still more mascara left, Siegel recommends (carefully!) removing the stopper from the tube with pliers or tweezers. She says it takes a little bit more time than the other tips, but it will definitely help!
