Eyeshadow will also last for around two years. Pencil eyeliners can last for up to a year after opening. Liquid eyeliner should be replaced every three months or so. Like liquid eyeliner, mascara has a short shelf-life of around three months. Loading Something is loading. If you're anything like me, lipstick is one of the products you only pull out on very, very special occasions.
But if you think you've waited too long to use it up and are asking yourself, " does lipstick expire " and wondering if it's still safe to use, I've got the answer for you. Heads up though, it might not be what you want to hear. Celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg laid out the details with Huffington Post and advised that two years is really the maximum amount of time you should be holding onto lipstick.
Just how long can I get out of it, you ask? Luckily, eyeliners tend to last that bit longer than complexion make-up staples like foundation, and can last anywhere from three months to three years. The best liquid eyeliner will have the same bacteria-prone formula and packaging as mascara, whereas a pencil eyeliner will have greater lasting power because as you sharpen them you remove bacteria that you pick up from using it on your eyes. Limit germs in liquid eyeliner by cleaning the tip after each use.
If you use a pencil, ensure to regularly sanitise your sharpener with cotton wool and rubbing alcohol to stop bacteria from dwelling on the razor and ending up on your eyeliner. Although lipstick and gloss are packed with preservatives such as parabens, essential oils and vitamins to ward off germs, these naturally start to break down after a year.
How to protect: Store your summer hue in the fridge. Keeping lipstick and gloss away from heat slows the breakdown of ingredients. The best make-up brushes really are an investment that will go the distance, and the ones worth splurging on can last a long time if well cared for. But there are still some signature signs of expiry to watch out for. How to protect: Brushes should be washed at least once every two weeks, and try to spot-clean your eye brushes after each use to avoid infections.
Unused products can be a bit more tricky as the usability can depend on several factors like the environment the tube has been in temperature, moisture, etc. Specifically, the oil content of a product is what needs to be considered as oil tends to separate over time. According to the FDA, natural beauty products tend to expire faster than others because there are no preservatives to extend shelf life.
To ensure no harm will come to your lips, there are a few DIY projects you can try to repurpose your old lipstick. One popular project using old lipsticks involves melting down all of the similar shades and creating an entirely new color.
The combination of nudes or reds can create a new product, and this will definitely help if your lipsticks have started to separate.
Keep in mind, this can help reduce the waste, but it will leave you with some excess product. Simply remove all of the product from its tube, and place a small amount into a pan on low heat.
Once all your colors are incorporated, pour the liquid into a lipstick mold , and let it cool. This can now be placed into either a new tube or a tube of your choosing.
If your lipsticks are just separating and there are no other suspicious occurrences, follow the same instructions as the previous project. Melting down the product will help to reintroduce the oil with the rest of the ingredients.
