Long live Make-Up.

The photo's will be coming tonight, it took an hour to upload 2 out of 18 photos!! Damn computers.

So, while i have time, i thought i'd do a post about how long you should keep your make-up, to prevent sticky icky things on your eyes and lips, and all sorts of diseases!!. Eww.


Cream or Compact Foundation: 18 months

Concealer : 12-18 months

Powder (Pressed or Loose): 2 years

Blush and Bronzer: 2 years

Cream Blush: 12-18 months

Powder Eye shadow: 2 years

Cream Eye shadow: 12-18 months

Eyeliner: 2 years

Liquid eyeliner: 3-6 months

Mascara: 3 months

Lipstick: 2 years

Lip liner: 2 years

Lip gloss: 18-24 months

Nail Color: 1 year

If you mainly use natural cosmetics, then i recommend you throw these out sooner. Regular cosmetics contain ingredients that do help to prolong shelf life.

A little tip; As i'm a Make-Up artist, i always make sure that i will NEVER use an out of date product on my clients, so i put an expiry date on them so i know when to throw them out. x
