If you’re like me, you have an astonishing collection of make up that you use primarily for make up games with friends. The only problem is that make up is time sensitive and you might be putting old and spoiled makeup on someone’s face, even if it doesn’t seem to be expired. Here’s a guide to about how long each item can last.
Anything that smells off or is too old to remember when you actually bought it should be thrown away immediately. There’s no telling what you’re putting on your face in that situation.
The shelf life of other products follows:
* Oil-Free Foundation: 1 year
* Cream or Compact Foundation: 18 months
* Concealer: 12-18 months
* Powder: 2 years
* Blush and Bronzer: 2 years
* Cream Blush: 12-18 months
* Powder Eye shadow: 2 years
* Cream Eye shadow: 12-18 months Eyeliner: 2 years
* Liquid eyeliner: 3-6 months
* Mascara: 3 months
* Lipstick: 2 years
* Lip liner: 2 years
* Lip gloss: 18-24 months
* Nail Color: 1 year
An easy trick is to write the date of purchase on all new make-up items bought. Then you have an idea of when to throw it out as well.
