If you are forgetful like I am, you may be hanging on to a beauty product long after its expiration date. Truth is, its bad beauty ethics to keep a compact, wand or even foundation past "good." Below is a list of how long you should keep your beauty products for:
Liquid Foundation
Lasts: One year
It's past "good" when: The foundation thickens and smells different.
To make it last longer: Keep glass bottles away from sunlight.
Lipstick
Lasts: Two years
It's past "good" when: It doesn't go on as smoothly as it used to.
To make it last longer: After you've had it a month, cut off the tip and dip into the untouched lipstick with a brush.
Mascara
Lasts: Three months
It's past "good" when: It takes atleast ten swipes to get anything on your lashes.
To make it last longer: Close the tube tight to prevent your mascara from drying out.
