nail polish expire image
mahrahia
I know that for mascara it has to be replaced every 3 months or at least when it starts to smell funky because of the bacteria growing within the tube.
I want to know how many years on average it would take for these cosmetics to expire:
-Blush
-Eyeshadow
-Lipgloss
-Lipstick
-Nail polish
-Eyeliner
I have makeup from 5 years ago and I hardly use it. It's "the Color Workshop" makeup if that makes it more specific.
Answer
Blush: Cream blush lasts about 3 months, a powder blush will last between 6 months to a year.
Eyeshadow: same as blush. But even with a powder blush it is best to throw them out after about 6 months, lest you risk an eye infection.
Lip gloss: lasts about one year give or take a few months
Lipstick: same as lip gloss
Nail Polish: no expiration date, but once the oil separates from the color it is time to throw that one away.
Eyeliner, a cream eyeliner lasts between 3-6 months, but a stick eyeliner or liquid eyeliner can last until finished or until color/odor change.
I think that the makeup you have has all gone bad after 5 years. And if the makeup is not bad, it is already full of bacteria that can cause a skin infection. Hope this Helps, Best of Luck!!

Is nail polish still good 6 months after an expiry date?

I recently bought some nail polish from Mary Kay and noticed that it expired in October 2005 . I didn't even know nail polish had an expiry date. It seems okay , but just curious if the quality will not be as good , whether or not it will last as long, etc. Thanks !
I would like to add another question to this : How long before the expiry date is nail polish manufactured ?
Answer
As long as it is tightly capped, it should last many YEARS past the expiry date. When you (re)open it, stir
the contents if there is any visible separation or stratification. The expiration date is there to encourage you to discard and purchase new and has little to do with the actual shelf life of the product.
