I have a eyeshadow palette for like 3-4 years and it still works fine and doesn’t smell bad...I think it’ll last for life

Funny thing, pre COVID most of my eye palettes were for 12months to use .. recently I started buying newproducts they magically now started to expire in 6 months 🙄🙄🙄 all strategy so we buy more and more ….

If a product (besides mascara) looks, smells (tastes), and performs as its suppose to, it stays in my stash. Good cosmetic hygiene is a must, but as long as the scent and texture hasn't changed, it's game on! I'll never give in to consumerism. I sanittize my personal stash every two weeks and nothing has EVER happen to me. Of course, this philosophy only applies to makeup, my skincares are fresh.

Because of the formulations! Many cosmetic products are made with ingredients that expire or aren't good to put on the skin after an extended amount of time, or, even if you don't use them as much, when they're exposed to air, start to lose their benefits. Hope this helps!

This is seemingly helpful but no one has the money to throw out all your makeup every year

How if you rarely use your make up does it still expire as the same as make up that is being used frequently??

Thank you for posting this! I took notes as I went along and I'm going to put them by my make up! :)

I have an eye shadow pallet for more then 10 years ...

helpful. thx

Helpful will be checking now

I just put some lipstick on, 13 years old !!!! I threw it out as it tasted awful.

I date my makeup and even with sanitizing it, and washing my brushes, by the expiration date or not long after, it starts to smell rancid or sharp smelling or is too dry because the texture will change. I'll compare the scent of a new kit as a guide. It's not worth what it can do to your skin or eyes when the kits expire. Bacteria and even mold can form on them. If you are an artist, some use their old makeup for painting. You can look up how what you need to do to turn it into a watercolor paint or something more bolder. You can also take old eyeshadow, grind it to a fine powder and mix it with clear nail polish and create a custom color.

You yourself you know you don't change yours that often. I change mines if I see the color change or it becomes dry

None of my makeup has ever given me a reaction or given off a smell. eg my mascara; never had a problem i only chuck them out when they are all dry i use them for 5-6 months. My gel eyeliner I have no idea how long ive had it but it still works fine, last for ages and easy to take off. No reactions at all.

I threw most of my make up this year

hey can u please help me to find out expiry date

The foundation,?

I guess 10 years is a bit much???

I've had an eye pallet before I had my daughter and she'll be 6 this year😳.

If u rarely put make up,do we need to worry about the expiry,awaiting for answer

I have been using this foundation recently that I’ve had for a couple years without throwing it and recently my skin has been getting quite red when removing my makeup, can that be the reason? Before using it my skin didn’t get like that and red, it had acne but never got red? I think the foundation might be what is hurting my skin. Can anyone help me maybe?? X

I used my mascara for 1 year ....today I threw 2 mascaras....

Is 2020

Nail polish go and advise the nail salon cause they sure put nail thinners in theirs. That's why the polish don't last long when those people do your manicure and pedicure
