When To Toss It

All good makeup can spoil eventually. Here's when to restock:
  • Lipstick & Gloss-Trash them 2 & 1/2 years from the day you break the seals.

  • Foundation, Concealer, Powder, and Blush-Since these go on top of your skin (and zits), don't take a risk. Get rid of them after 8 to 12 months, or sooner if they separate, dry, or cake.

  • Eyeshadow & Liner-Trash them after 2 years.

  • Mascara & Liquid Liner-Bacteria can grow in these moist containers, so 6 months is all you get. Tightly close tubes to keep them from drying out before then.
