Makeup...makeup everywhere.....some of us use them a lot...some very little and others not at all...but these products........have a shelf live..but still some people will keep on using them on their skin even tho its expired :/ :/ that's not safe :( since it can be the cause of rashes and allergies
Just keep an eye on that little symbol (which looks like an open pot) at the back of your product :
Here that "M" represents the amount of months that the product can be used after its opening ( like above 12M= 12 months)...after that amount of time indicated....all you'll have to do will be to toss away your expired makeup
Some approximate shelf life for products:
Because some products don't indicate the shelf life...it doesn't mean the product will never expire :p
1. Mascara
Mascara will normally last up to 3-6 months
2. Eyeliner
Liquid liner can last up to 6-9 months whereas pencil eyeliner can lasts up to 18 moths
3. Eyeshadow
Eyeshadow can last up to 18 or two years
4. Lipstick
Lipstick can last up to 2 years
5. Lip gloss
Lipgloss can last up to one year
6. Foundation

7. Concealer

8. Blush/Bronzer
