Makeup expiration

Have makeup that you've been holding onto for years because you just don't have the heart to throw it away? Well, it's probably unhealthy for your skin. Makeup has an expiration date, so follow the guidelines to determine what and how often you should throw away in your makeup bag.

1. Mascara. Every 3 months. It introduces bacteria into your eye, so this needs to be replaced fairly often.
2. Eye Shadow. Every 3 months. Introduces bacteria as well.
3. Lipstick. After 1 year. The oils become rancid.
4. Foundation. 6-12 months once opened. It depends on how you apply it to how long it will last.
5. Blush. 2 years. Powder lasts longer. Cream lasts less because it holds onto moisture.

- With makeup, the performance usually lasts as long as the expiration date.
- Once every 2 weeks, wash you brushes with shampoo and water. You can also put them in the dishwasher.
- Beauty alert tabs are available, which you can write down the date that you opened your makeup.
