Save or Toss?
In the next few weeks I am going to be doing a series of blog posts about how long to keep make up, when to toss or save, and how to clean it.
Stay tuned to see all the great tips.
But for now here are some great tips on if you should save it or toss it!
Mascara
Mascara should be replaced every three months, since its liquid consistency makes it more vulnerable to bacteria, and its proximity to your eye can lead to possible infections.
Liquid Liner
Liquid eyeliners present the same concerns as mascara, so they should be replaced every six months. Pencil eyeliners, however, should last you up two years. Sharpen your pencil with each use to keep it fresh.

Foundation
For liquid foundations, say goodbye if you notice any change in smell, texture or color. Most foundations should last you up to a year, but if you’re prone to acne, think about tossing yours every six months.

Lipgloss
Because of the liquid consistency, lipgloss needs to be replaced more often than lipstick. Swap yours out every 12 months.

Concealer
As with liners, the longevity of concealers depends on consistency. Liquid concealer should be tossed after one year, but powder concealer is fine up to two years.

Nail Polish
If you notice a change in color or a funky smell, it’s time to part ways with your polish. In general, it should last you up to two years and some have expiration dates on the back of the bottle.

Lipstick
Consider it a long-term relationship- lipstick can last up to two years! Dispose if your lipstick becomes dry or changes hues.

Powder, Blush, Bronzer, Eyeshadow With proper care, and clean brushes, powder-based products can last for a couple of years.
Tip: To keep track of your product expiration dates, write the date of purchase in sharpie on the bottom of each product so you’ll know when they pass their prime.
