When Makeup Goes Bad, Clear it Out.

Ever wondered about the shelf life of your lipsticks? How about the shelf-life of the rest of your make up? Do you hang onto things in the hope they last longer? Can you tell when makeup is bad? Do you spit on your mascara wand to make it last longer? Believe it or not, make-up does have a point at which you need to get rid of it if you haven’t used it all by now.

Despite the clever new preservatives and stabilisers that are used in make-up today, makeup has a shelf life just like the food in your fridge, cupboards and pantry.
