Am I the only one who uses this make-up artists trick? Use a water based mascara, dip the wand in water, very lightly, and allow excess to drip onto a paper towel. The key is to get the wand wet, but not so much that the mascara thins too much or runs off the brush. Apply mascara. This thins it so it doesn't clump, and can be applied in layers. Try it and you won't believe the results.
