Answer 1

ALL makeup goes bad. You need to switch everything out once a year. Including perfumes.

Answer 2

Foundation usually has a shelf life of 3 years, if unopened. I've however got some that's older than that & it is fine. IF you're getting a smell out of it, I'd chunk it. I've known people to use it even if it did go to that point. How I do not know, but if you've got in the dry & not really hot atmosphere, yes I'd say it's safe.  

Answer 3

It definitely goes bad over time. I was always told that it's best to store it in a cool place and know someone that always kept hers in the fridge. I've had foundation in my purse that was only a month old but because of the temperature it had changed consistency. I have fair skin and use light foundation. As soon as I went to put mine on, it turned bright orange on my face! It never did that before! So I'd be careful with it for sure.

Answer 4

All makeup should be stored in a cool dry place, and never use any that are 2 years old. Also, never share eyeliner, eye shadow, or foundation. I learned this the hard way, shared my makeup with a friend, couple of days later, I have pink eye. Come to find out, she had it when she borrowed it, and never said a word.My doctor told me that this is a very common way that women catch pink eye.
