When to Throw Away Your Makeup

Even makeup has expiration dates -- know what they are to avoid infections

By Babytalk
Lipstick & Gloss
Time to toss: 18 months to 2 years
Notice an off smell or taste? Trash it. You deserve a new tube anyway!

Eye & Lip Pencils
Time to toss: 2 years Sharpening your pencil
liners every two weeks will help them stay fresh and clean.

Liquid Foundation
Time to toss: 6 months
Look for the ingredients to separate (oils rise to the top) or a change in color or consistency.

Mascara & Liquid Liner
Time to toss: 6 months (less if you use daily)
These wet tubes are the ideal breeding ground for bacteria.
