How long should you keep Makeup products???


How long should you keep Makeup products???

Many people have doubts about shelf life of the makeup products once they are opened(shelf life is different from expiry date). Expiry date: Products should not be used if the expiration date has passed. They should be discarded.




Mascara & liquid eyeliner: Every time you put the wand back into the tube, you’re letting in  bacteria. These products have the shortest shelf life. Replace mascara every 3 and eyeliners every 6 months or less.

Liquid foundation: Stored away from heat, foundation can remain stable for up to a year. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, don’t dip your finger into the bottle. Apply with a brush or sponge, and don’t double dip.

Lip gloss & lipstick: These are less likely than liquid-based makeup to grow bacteria. It’s safe to hold on to them for at least 6 months and the lipstick for a year.

Powders: Unless you notice a funny smell or the color has turned, you can safely use powder-based products for 18 months to 2 years.
