How long does makeup last?!?!?!?!

Question

I was just wondering how much makeup will last? I just discoveredd E.L.F makeup,its so cheap. I want to buy a bunch of it ,,, but will it last!?!?! Thanks much!!

Answer 1

do u mean within a day? or how long will it last over weeks? I'll answer the first one, I use M.A.C. Cosmetics and everything comes on really nicely and lasts all day, and the quality is awesome. It's better to put your money towards one really good thing than a lot of crappy things:)

Basically, all make ups have their shelf life, even when it comes to lip balm. But remember, as long as you keep make ups at room temperature, they should last until that date.

However, If you leave them in your car during the summer, granted that the make up is still NEW, it has been already impaired. Because if not at room temperature, especially in hot weather, your make up can change their elements and become another substance. Continuing to use your ruined make up will be a detriment to your skin! SO TOSS EM. Btter safe then sorry!

Lip Balm, glosses, lip stick -2 years

Mascara - 3 to 6 months, best throw them every 3 months though

eye shadows, loose powders - 2 to 3 years, best throw them every 2 years

Foundations - 1 year, but when they do start to smell bad, throw them out.

It might last but it depends what you are doing but if you are just relaxing going to a restruant or school or work fine! But no clubs or nothing were you might sweat or something

Answer 4

Depends on the sizes of the products, how many times said products will be used per week, and so forth.

With mascara, you have to buy a new one every three months (just a sanitation thing)

Eyeshadows, well I have a LOT of eyeshadows, and I still actually have well over half of my powder eyeshadow left that I bought in the beginning of grade 9, and I'm just starting grade 12 this fall. Loose/powder shadows will last much longer than pressed shadows will, basically because there is a lot more product in those powdered ones than in the pressed ones. Foundations will last depending on how much is in the bottle, how much you use, how many times it's used.. I've usually been able to use the same foundation for months and months and months, with every day use. Basically, if you are new to makeup, I'd say buy one mascara, one eyeliner (if you want), a foundation if they sell that, and then a powder to set it, and maybe a couple of shadows. See how much is left after a few months, maybe after three, so that when you are going to buy your new mascara, you can see how much makeup you have used up.

Answer 5

You may get what you pay for. I stick with the tried and true brands of make-up and use the right kind for my skin. I use Cover Girl, Maybelline, Revlon and Almay. I never have an allergic reaction and I can trust the products to be what they say they are.

The prices are good too. Look at Rite Aide, Walmart, KMart and any good discount drug store for fresh products.

Answer 6

yeah.

Answer 7

Last as in long lasting and long wearing or won't run out and you'll have to buy more?

Answer 8

I'm sure if you use any makeup in a nice even moderation it will last for as long as you need it to (its makeup you can always buy more!). And since it's so cheap i would buy one set first, just to test it out. If you like what you see go for it!!!

Answer 9

depends on what kind of make up it is. eyeshadows will last and last, mascaras not so much. lipsticks not so much. blushes will last and pencil eyeliners will last.
