● Your formula begins to crack and separate, a key indicator that it's time to let go.

● Powder foundation and solid concealer may take a little longer to build up bacteria so they will last a little longer.

mascara

Period after opening: 3-6 months.

A few months after it opens, the mascara will start to dry out. Like other liquid makeup, it can collect bacteria, which can lead to possible irritation and infection.

● If you have sensitive eyes, it is recommended to change it every three months. Otherwise, it can last up to six months.

Eyeliner and shadows

Period after opening: 1 year.

Since solid and powder makeup take longer to accumulate bacteria, you don't have to worry about it drying out, however, shimmery shades tend to change color over time.

● When you notice your violet eyeshadow or green eyeliner fading, it's time to change them.

Lipstick

Period after opening: 1 year.

Many lipsticks not only stay on all day, but also have a long period after opening.

● You can keep open lipsticks for up to 1 year and then throw them away, as they can start to grow bacteria that can cause skin irritation.

● Again, your liquid lipsticks will have a shorter shelf life once opened (probably 1 year max) as the liquid formula will crack and dry out.
