Did you know that like skincare products, your makeup also has an expiration date?

Common shelf life guidelines:

  1. Mascara…………………………………………………………3 months
  2. Liquid foundation……………………………………….6-12 months
  3. Lipstick……………………………………………………………..1 year
  4. Eye and lip liners……………………………………………….2 years
  5. Creamy eye shadows + blushers……………………6-12 months
  6. Powder eye shadows + blushers……………………………..1 year
  7. Liquid eye liners……………………………………………..6 months

A regular re-freshing session with your makeup bag will not only benefit your skin, but it’s also an excuse to spoil yourself with some new shades. Check out the fabulous Jon Van G Make-up range with me in the salon at a suitable time for us both.

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then they really should be placed in the bin

  • Has the smell changed?
  • Are there any obvious colour or textural changes?
  • Is there any obvious mould?
