MAKE UP EXPIRATION GUIDELINE

HI LOVELIES!!

This post is all about when to toss that make up! Let's all be real, we all keep that eyeshadow because it's so pretty or I'm sure I'll use this soon and never end up doing so. Now's the time to go through your make up & start tossing the old stuff. It just makes room for you to go out and buy new make up or rediscover things you forgot you had ;)

This is all a guideline & recommendations. You can choose to go by it or not. :) 
Your make up will have a container with the recommended expiration date on it. Most will be a container with a number (months/year). 

PRIMER: 12 MONTHS
FOUNDATION & CONCEALER: 6-12 MONTHS. If it has separated or the color has lightened toss it. 
BRONZER: 12-18 MONTHS. If it starts to be flaky, toss it.
POWDER EYESHADOW/ BLUSH: 2 YEARS. Again,if it is flaky, toss it.
LIQUID EYELINER & MASCARA: 3 MONTHS. If mascara is clumpy or starts to smell bad, toss it. Liquid liner will usually dry out. 
PENCIL LINER: 9-12 MONTHS, some 24 MONTHS. I would toss around 6 months since it is touch  eye and can contain bacteria that causes eye infections. 
LIP STICK: 2 YEARS. Toss if it starts to get dry
LIP GLOSS: 1 YEAR. Toss if super sticky or smells bad.
NAIL POLISH: 1-2 YEARS. If it turns goopy or separates & wont form back after a good shaking, toss it.

Hope this makes you go through your make up & get rid of the old. I mean who doesn't love new make up :) 

BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL
XOXO,
MARISSA
