Here’s a quick guide to how long to keep makeup products before they reach their expiration date. Keep in mind that some products may last a little longer or shorter depending on how they're stored and the brand's recommendations: Foundation: 1-2 years (if it’s separating or smells weird, it’s time to go) Concealer: 1 year (separating or not creamy? Toss it!) Loose Powder: 2 years (if it’s clumping or smelling off, it’s over) Cream Eyeshadows & Blush: 6-12 months (if they’re dry or separated, ditch ‘em) Powder Eyeshadows: 2 years (hard pan or weird textures? Let it go) Lip Gloss & Liquid Lipstick: 6-12 months (cloudy gloss or dry lipstick? Bye!) Eyeliner & Mascara: 3-6 months (if it’s dry, smudging, or not gliding smoothly, it’s gone) Lash Glue: 3-6 months (if it smells fishy, it’s outta here) Setting Spray: 1-2 years (cloudy? Toss it!)
