Hmmm.
The only thing I can think of is to melt it down and stir a few drops of mixing medium into, then let it harden. You might be able to use it as a potted base of sorts *shrugs* I always add mixing medium to my mascaras when they get a bit dry, works like a charm.

Depends how dry it is. Have you tried rubbing the tip across the back of your hand for a while? Or warming it above a flame from a lighter or candle (but don't place it too close!)? Or even just chopping off the bit at the end and seeing if there's a fresher layer underneath?
Otherwise I'd go with the mixing medium idea above, which sounds really good.

The shadesticks are flammable and can flame up if hit with a match, so I would avoid that. If you want to heat it up, I would suggest a shot with the blow dryer. You could also try spritzing it with Fix+.

Much safer idea! I've read a few horror stories on here about eyeliners and lighters.

I think that if you blow dry it it would be best.
