Quick Guidelines: When to Toss or Keep Makeup

In this post I outline quick guidelines for when to toss or keep makeup. I was going through my multiple makeup bags and my case, and a lot of it needs to go. No need to hoard, out with the old and in with the new!

• Foundation – 6-8 months
• Lipstick/gloss – 12 months
• Mascara 3-6 months
• Blush/Bronzer – 12 months
• Eyeshadow – 24 months
• Eyeliner/lip liner – 12 months
• Nail polish – 24 months

Remember, if anything looks or smells strange it’s most likely time to toss it. Make sure to wash your makeup brushes at least once a month. If any makeup comes in contact with a skin or eye infection toss it immediately. Stay beautiful!
