Common conclusions
Products for the face, like foundation and primer, typically last for up to 24 months from the date they are opened and if you have your foundation for more than 24 months then you should definitely replace it with new one.
Mascara has the shortest shelf life of all beauty products and should be discarded two to three months after opening. You should definitely throw out your mascara when it becomes dry, and you should not add water or saliva to it. Both can add bacteria to the product, which could lead to eye irritation. Continuing to use the same products during and after the initial infection may cause reinfection.
Your expired makeup can start to harbor bacteria. When it comes to your skin, this can mean irritation and bumps that look like acne. And when it comes to your eyes, this bacteria buildup can actually cause infections and pink eye.
If you have noticed that your makeup has oxidized to a different color then it is time to toss it. Color changes are a definite sign that your makeup has expired, and has even experienced bacterial growth. Replace it with new ones.
Products like foundation, primer, blush, and eye shadow can last for up to two years. You should discard all makeup products, especially shadows, liners, mascara, brushes and sponges that may have come into contact with the infected area.
