How to thin clumpy waterproof mascara?

I recently bought a brown wet and wild h2o waterproof mascara from the internet. When I used it for the first time I found it rather thick, gloopy & difficult to apply.

I'm disappointed as it is brand new so I don't want to just throw it away. If it were just a little thinner in texture it would go on better.

I thought I saw a tip for making mascara go further on the 'superscrimpers' show (UK) but it was quite a while ago & I can't remember what they said to use...

How can I thin it out a little without losing the waterproof function?

Is added water really going to mix with waterproof mascara? Or should I be using some kind of oil? or something else?

    Add moisturizer too it. I do that to foundation-it probably works for mascara too- i have never tried it however.

    Oil or contact solution. It also might be the brush head. Some aren't spread enough and can cause the mascara to clump due to the brisels.

    Try putting a few drops of contact lenses solution in it.
