How long has that favorite eyeliner been in your make up bag? Like everything else, your beauty products have an expiration date. Here are a few dates to keep up with:
1. Mascara- replace every three months to prevent eye infection
2. Eyeliner- also a favorite for bacteria buildup, replace every three months
3. Lipstick- replace once a year, unless you have been sick, then replace immediately
4. Powder- replace every two to three years. Powder is the least likely place for bacteria due to ingredients, yah!
5. Sponge inside your powder compact- replace once a month, these build up bacteria fast!
6. Eyeshadow- replace every three to six months, tend to harbor bacteria because you usually dip your brush more than once during application, or use your finger (which reminds me, wash your hands before applying your make up to prevent contamination and make your products last longer!)
When I buy a product, I write the date of purchase on the product. This way I know how long I have at a glance. You could also write the date the product needs replacing.
