Miscellaneous Beauty Tips

How long should I keep my make-up?

The average shelf life of cosmetics is anywhere from three months to three years. It all depends on the product. To help keep your make-up fresh, follow these tips:

  1. Wash hands before touching your make-up and skincare products
  2. Replace sponges & puffs every 6-12 weeks
  3. Sharpen pencils to remove contamination or dust before using
  4. Don’t add water or moisturizer to make-up If you mix, mix the product in your hand
  5. Don’t share cosmetics
  6. Close containers tightly
  7. Store cosmetics in a cool dry place

Remember, if your make-up starts to smell, or if the consistency of the product or the color changes you should discard the product.
Rule of thumb, if you haven't used the product in a year or you don't like the color, get rid of it!
