Is Your Makeup Old?

Just like food makeup does expire. I know there are some of you out there that has a pink frost lipstick deep down in you makeup bag from 1988. It's time girls, clean out your makeup bags!Most makeup products do have preservatives however they still can harbor bacteria. Yucky. Mascara has the shortest shelf life and should be thrown away after three months. If you're wearing mascara every day, a tube should only last about that long anyways. Foundations, lipsticks and lip gloss should be tossed out after a year but then again if used everyday they shouldn't even last that long. Shadows, blushes and powders should be tossed out after two years. But who goes through a shadow in two years? Along as you keep your fingers, water and dirty brushes out of your shadows they'll last a lot longer. On the subject of brushes ladies we should be cleaning them once a week. There are plenty of brush cleaners out there. I personally use baby shampoo on my brushes. Most brushes are animal hair so shampoo works fine but make sure its not conditioning shampoo because that can create build-up on your brushes. And lastly ladies make sure to keep your makeup in a cool and dry place, not under the bathroom sink where its humid and hot. Bacteria grows in humid environments.
