How To Know When Your Beauty Products Have Expired

EYE SHADOW

 To keep your eyes from getting red or itchy, replace powder shadows after about three months. Even though they are similar in formulation to other powders, because they're constantly in contact with a mucous membrane, there's a higher risk of transferring bacteria to the product and then back to the eyes. Pay extra attention to cream-based shadows, which tend to grow bacteria more quickly than powders. If you use your fingers to apply, wash your hands before doing so, and be aware of any color switches or off-putting smells.
