Shades go bad in 6 months? How long can cosmetics be kept open?

Foundation creams come in two textures: liquid and pud. Liquid stored up to one yearA powdery — up to a year and a half. There’s no water or oil in the powder, and it’s a breeding ground for germs, so it lasts longer than foundation. But humidity from the air can get in – keep the box closed!

Blush is also available in two formats – cream and powder. We think you guessed it liquid blush spoil faster – they can be used up to one year. A powdery “live” up to a year and a half. The preservatives in the compact blush don’t give bacteria a chance. But as soon as they stop working (see the production date on the label), expect irritation or an allergic reaction.

With decorative cosmetics for the eye area need to be particularlyTorty. Itching, redness, tearing, conjunctivitis – why do you need these disorders? Remember: cream And friable shadows worth using within six months. Yes, so fast 🙁

The tip of a pencil or an eyeliner brush often comes into contact with the mucous membrane: the risk of winning problems without making a “replacement in the team” in time is quite high. You should replace them often: pencil – once in 6 monthsA liquid eyeliner – once in 3 months.

The mascara tube is a paradise for microorganisms that will quickly give you an eye infection, so it is recommended to change it every three months.

liquid lipstick can be used Before of the yearand here ordinary “lives” Before a year and a half. You don’t eat spoiled food, do you? The same goes for lipstick, as a large part of it enters the stomach. If you feel a strange aftertaste, say goodbye immediately and without regrets.
