Lifespan of makeup???

Question

How long does un-opened, un-used makeup last for?

Answer 1

Since it is un-opened it should last for years, however if it is a liquid product or a cream product it may dry out.  Un-opened make-up is almost always good, its only opened makeup that should be thrown out every 6 months because of bacteria. (although no one does)

Answer 2

a long time. Until you open it or if it is cracked. It also depends on the brand. Some make ups last longer than others like MAC or try Stila mud pots, they last forever. Liquid eyeshadow and fake eyelash glue and maybe mascara or lip gloss may expire or go bad. Mascara you can tell when it gets bad-- it gets crusty. Fake eyelash glue smells horrible when it is expired and it crusts and gets hard. Liquid eyeshadow would clump-- you have to be careful! Lip gloss in an un-opened container normally doesnt go bad, however if the quality is drug store brand than it may expire faster than the desired outcome.

Just in case i would open it ASAP.[:  

Answer 3

Most cosmetic/hair products that are opened last for 3 years about I'm not sure about unused products though. Should be longer (duh)
