Not all cosmetics are created equal. Some products need to be thrown away within three months while other products may last over a year or two.
So here is the general rule of thumb for the following products:
- Eyeshadow —1 – 2 years
- Mascara —3 months
- Liquid Foundation —1 year
- Lipstick/Lip Gloss —1 year
- Powdered Blush —2 years
- Concealer —1 year
Scary, huh?
A common misconception is expired makeup is safe to use, but this isn’t always the case. Risks are associated with using expired makeup including, clogged pores and bacterial growth. It’s important to be mindful of how long your makeup has been in storage so you can avoid these potential health hazards.
