One day I was putting on mascara before leaving the house. When I came back I found the cap off (probably thanks to my baby sister), so I recapped it. It doesn't seem to have gone dry.. I was able to apply some the next day no problem. But it could have been sitting out for several hours. Is it still okay to use?

The only thing wrong with using mascara that was left open is the threat of bacteria from the air getting into the bottle itself. If your eyes sting or turn red after using it, discontinue. If it hasn't caused any problems then its okay to use. Do not add water or anything like that though.

Yes, it is ok to use. If it was even a little dried out I would run the tube under hot water to soften it. When you think that you don't have any mascara left in the tube it is also a good idea to do this, just to get the most of your mascara.

I am a cosmetologist. It is ok to use for now, but when you have a chance, go ahead and get a new one. You change your mascara every 3 months because of bacteria or germs that your mascara may collect.It is near your eye so it is better safe than sorry.

I'm surprised it wasn't dried out but since it isn't I don't see why you shouldn't use it. Sometimes I even add a little water to my mascara to keep it from drying out and clumping up.

It should be, as long as it doesn't have any globs or is dried out, I'd continue using it. I don't have too much of a delicate skin, so I don't get irritation easily... depends on your skin :o)

I wouldn't, in case the babysitter used it. You should never share mascara.

Yes but, if it starts to irritate your eye I would quit using it.
