Hello everyone!
Admit it: If you take a peek into your cosmetics bag, you might find a tube of your favourite lip gloss from your seconds school days. We all hang on to makeup longer than we should, but with this new decade in full swing, make avow to start fresh for your sake`s face.
FOUNDATION
Liquid foundations and concealer should be replaced every six months. To make your foundation last long as possible, be sure to store it in cool area. This is especially vital in the summer, when the heat and humidity can take a toll on the ingredients inside by melting and separating them.

LIP GLOSS AND LIPSTICK
Lip glosses and lipsticks can last anywhere from 18 months to two years. Keep a watchful eye on your favourite hues. If you notice an off smell or taste, toss them into the trash and treat yourself to another new tube! Also be wary of who share your lipstick with. Friends with a flu who just swipe your lipstick on their lips have now just made your favourite lipstick a breeding ground for bacteria

POWDER-BASED MAKEUP (Pressed powder, blush and bronzer)
Powder-based makeup are good for nine months to 1 year. The key here us to replace your applicator when you replace your compacts. If you prefer using a nicer set of brushes that you splurge on, you don't need to toss those, but make sure they get a thorough washing at least every 6 month apart from the regular cleaning after you use it to apply product.

MASCARA
Mascara is one of the most common places for a bacteria to live, because of its wet nature. If you use it only for special occasions, you can replace your tube every six month, but if you wear it daily, you'll want to swap yours every three months.

EYESHADOWS
If you are using a powder eye shadow, you can keep it for up to two years, as long as you replace/wash your brushes. Its easier for bacteria to grow in cream shadows, so you should switch them out every 12 to 18 months.

EYELINER
For the liquid eyeliner lovers, use the same rule of thumb as replacing your mascara - every three months. Toss eyeliner pencils if they are older than 2 years. Keeping your eyeliner sharpened will help them stay fresh longer

How to Extend the Shelf Life of Your Products
Taking proper care of your makeup can extend the shelf life of your products and save you money. The best way to do this? Store your makeup products away from sunlight and heat, and don't share you mascara, eyeliner or lip products. Sharing can cause more bacteria to grow.
