Of course, these expiration dates are considering average use of the products. Your makeup will last longer than these expiration suggestions if you take measures to keep it sanitary.
Wash your hands before handling your products, and wash your brushes often. And keep in mind that products used around the eyes and mouth are most likely to be contaminated if used during an illness or infection like the flu or pink eye. Try to refrain from busting out your beauty products when your health makes your makeup vulnerable. Some of these products, such as cream eyeshadow, contain oils, which can break down over time and cause the product to go bad. Preservatives in all make-up break down over time, so even a powdered eyeshadow palette isn't recommended for use past the three-year mark.
In that case, it should probably be thrown out. If eyeshadow is exposed to moisture, dry air, or bacteria from fingers or other dipping instruments, it could go bad quicker. For example, if you are regularly applying cream shadow with your fingers, you could notice the product tends to go bad more quickly. Make sure to always use clean fingers, or a clean make-up brush, when applying eyeshadow.
It is hard to tell when eyeshadow has truly expired, especially powdered eyeshadow, but, be sure to look out for any product that has a bad smell or mold growth. Additionally, if eyeshadow is exposed to harsh conditions, such as environments with a lot of moisture or very high heat, keep an eye out for signs that it has gone bad and if it has, introduce it to the bin.
The eye area is especially delicate and expired products can cause major problems. Using expired or bad eyeshadow can lead to a host of problems, including pink eye, acne, rashes, or allergic reactions. When it comes to your eyes, it is better to be safe than sorry.
