When is it time to throw away my make-up?

I decided to put this together for my readers. All the time my clients ask me how long should they keep something. So here it is a description of how long you should keep your items and away to identify this on your products.

 The symbol listed on you box of your make-up products with tell how long you can keep your products from the you open it. 

 This box above is a fragrance it has a 24 M shelf like the M stands for months. 

Shelf life label 

• Mascara: Toss your mascara after 3 months. Mascara has the shortest life span of all make up because the risk of transferring bacteria back and forth from your eye into the mascara tube is so great. If your mascara starts to dry out before its 90 days is up, throw it away. Don’t add water or saliva to your mascara to rewet it. Doing so will only increase your chances of getting an eye infection.
• Eye pencils: Eye pencils can be kept up to 2 years. To make sure you’re using a clean tip, sharpen before each application.
• Eye shadows: Keep your applicators clean and your liquid shadows should last 12 months. Powder shadows will keep 2 years.
• Lipsticks: You can stow your tube lipsticks and your lip pencils for 2 years. As with eye pencils, sharpen your lip pencils before each use.

• Blushes and powders: Discard your cream blushes after a year, powder blushes and powders after 2 years.
• Foundations and concealers: Moisturizing foundations and stick concealers can hang around for 18 months. A 12-month shelf life applies to both oil-free foundations, which can dry out quickly, and liquid concealers.
  Using clean brushes and sponges will help lengthen the life of your cosmetics. Be sure and wash or replace your applicators frequently.
