 Best before… Makeup expiration dates

Just because there are no expiration dates on your makeup doesn’t mean that they last forever. In fact, most of them should be tossed out within 3 months to a year of being opened.

Here are some rough guidelines as to when you need to toss out the old makeup sitting at the back for your drawer.

Eyes:
Mascara — 3 months. Sooner if it gets flaky.
Eyeliner (pencil) — Up to 2 years.
Eyeliner (liquid) — 6 months or less.
Eyeshadow (powder) — 1 year.
Eyeshadow (cream) — 6 to 12 months.

Lips:
Lipliner (pencils) — up to 2 years.
Lipstick — 1 year to 2 years.

Powders, moisturisers, and concealers:
Liquid Foundation and Concealer — 6 to 12 months.
Blush (Cream) — 6 to 12 months.
Blush (Powder) — 1 year.
Moisturisers and Skin Care — 1 to 2 years.
Toner — 6 to 12 months of use or sooner if there is cloudiness.
