When to Toss Off your Makeup?

If you are a person like me who is very conservative and possessive about their Makeup, then of-course you don't wish to toss it away any time! But...huhhh..the reality states that there is an expiration date (to everything) and you gotta throw them away when it arrives.

Well makeup doesn't come with an Expiration date (mostly) and hard to know when it has gone bad.

1. Look for any Chemical changes in them, like if its smelling foul, lost its oil (oil floating on the surface), colour change, or getting harder. If any of these changes has happened in any of your makeup, then its time to toss it off. Mainly you will see thease kind of changes in Foundations, Concealers and Mascaras.
2. No matter how pretty the packaging or the actual products looks, if you got that Ishh a reaaalllyyy long time ago, show its way to the trash can my dear.
3. Any Liquid Makeup with a pump lasts longer than the ones without,just because its untouched and bacteria-free. That doesn't mean its not gonna go bad. Throw it away if its been eating dirt for too long.
4. If your lipsticks have developed a mossy or foggy layer around them, then surely you gotta return them to the brand or toss it away.
5. If you see any skin irritations like acne, redness, infections, etc. Try to switch up the products daily one by one. By this you will know what is not working out for you and you can throw that away.
6. If your powders (eyeshadow, blushes, loose powders, bronzers, compacts, etc) have started to develop a thin layer of oil on the surface, its no need to worry as much. But if the oil formation is a lot and starting to smell, then its time to toss it away.
7. Try to avoid wearing makeup and using makeup tools when you are having any kind of infection or so. This will reduce the fungus to transfer on the product and contaminate your valuable makeup. Washing and cleaning your tools regularly (once a week) will help in keeping your makeup long lasting. This applies to Nail Polishes too.
8. Finally Just keep on changing your makeup every 8-12 months for safe reasons and to stay hygienic. If you are doubtful about a particular product or don't remember when you purchased it, just throw it away.

Below is a Art work I created with the maximum duration of a product:

And something that I discovered recently; A website which will tell you exactly when you need to toss the item, with Manufactured date. This was something really awesome! 

Please visit www.checkcosmetic.net and you just need to enter the item code in the space provided along with the brand name, and it will give you full details of your product. I literally sat in front of the computer and checked almost half of my stuffs and tossed so many! You will be surprised by what you discover my friends.

I hope this will help you guys in some way! As always, thanks for tuning in
