What is the shelf life of your Makeup?

Hi Lovely Ladies :)
 
We all have that makeup that we never use but for some reason we still keep them in our draws thinking that we will need them one day but we never do actually use them.
This is just a quick guide on the shelf life of just some Beauty Products.
 
1. Concealer: Last up to 12 Months.
 
2. Powder: Last up to 2 years.
 
3. Pencil Eyeliner: Pencil eyeliner needs to be sharpened reguarly and it can last up to 3 years.
 
4. Eyeshadow: This product can last up to 3 years. Some makeup artists actually use eyeshadow as a eyeliner. You will need a flat eyeliner brush, make the brush a little damp and dip it in dark eyeshadow and wiggle the brush onto your lash line like you are applying normal eyeliner.
 
5. Makeup Brushes: Wash your makeup brushes every 2 - 3 months.
 
6. Makeup sponges: Wash your sponges weekly and discard them every month.
 
7. Lip Liner: Lasts up to 3 years. I personally perfer the pencil lip liner instead of the roll up lip liner because they tend to break easily while you are applying it.
 
8.Mascara: This product expires the fastest. It only last up to 4 months and then you need to replace it.
 
9. Nail Polish: This product last up to 12 months depending on the quality.
 
10. Lipstick: Some people say it lasts up to 2 years and others say 4 years but one great tip is if you put your lipstick in a refrigerater, it will last longer.
 
Hope this helps ladies :)
Xoxo
