Abstract
A mascara container is provided with a stirrer comprising an oblong frame having side elements spaced inward from the container wall. The spacing permits working of the fluid adjacent the stirrer blades against the stationary fluid adhering to the wall of the container, such working and related shear makes the fluid less viscous so that it flows downward in the container.
