As we begin the new year of 2017, it is out with the old and in with the new. This is a great time to get rid of old beauty products. Here are some tips on how long you should be replacing makeup.
Not only do products expire, they also can have bacteria build up. There are no exact dates on when you need to toss them, since companies package products differently, use different ingredients, and our use of them varies – this is just an estimate.

Eyeshadows – Every 2 years, One year if it is a cream eyeshadow
Liquid Foundation – Every year
Powder Foundation – Every 2 years
Concealer – Every 12-18 months
