Does Make Up Expires When To Replace It


When do make up expires, and when to replace it. That is something we all need to know. Sense I have been wearing eye shadows, lip gloss, etc. that is important to know. I'm clearing the air, I haven't became a "Make Up Junkie" I don't plan on it either, but it's important to know the shelf life of makeup products that I'm using to put on my skin, especially eyes!

I did some research on this and came up with some great pointers!

  • Concealer:  12 months.
  • Powder:   2 years.
  • Pencil Eyeliner:   sharpen it regularly, it can last 3 years.
  • Eye Shadow:  3 yrs 
  • Brushes:  wash every 2 to 3 months with a mild cleanser/brush cleaner 
  • Sponges:  wash weekly, throw away monthly
Foundation:  check ingredients water based  12 months oil based 18 months.
Tip when water based foundation dries out before expiration time use a few drops of Alcohol free Toner, mix in and shake. 
  • Lip Liners:  3 years.
  • Lipstick:  1 to 2 years, or even up to 4 some experts say.
  • Mascara:   4 mths.
  • Nail Polish:  12 mths.                                          
I wanted to share what I found out, this will help me. If you have any question post in comment section. 
Thanks.
