Waking up one morning, you begin to pack and find that for some reason the foundation is poorly distributed over the skin, and mascara is generally difficult to apply and lumps down. There is no need to try to reanimate old cosmetics - most likely, they simply have expired.
According to polls, most women use cosmetics before they win - until she starts to harm the skin or completely loses her abilities, writes Womanhit. You need to be able to send in time the “resignation” of soured lipstick, which will no longer please you, as before.
How to understand that time is up?
Most often, either the consistency of the product or its smell changes: in both cases, throw away the cream or any other product without regret. To know the approximate service life of your favorite shadows, be sure to mark the opening date on the package, since after using it, the period of using the cosmetic is reduced several times.
The service life of cosmetics.
Foundation and concealer
Any liquid tonalnik can serve you no more than a year. Usually there is sediment on the bottom of the bottle, although it is not always possible to determine by eye the state of the product due to the nature of the packaging. It is best to purchase a glass bottle with a dispenser, as in this case the cream will be least affected by external factors. Powder will serve you for several years, its dry texture slows down the reproduction of bacteria.

Blush and bronzers
If you prefer blush creamy textures, their lifespan is comparable to the foundation, but the situation is different with dry blush and bronzing powders: the lack of an aqueous medium ensures a long lifespan - about 2 of the year.
A small life hacking: with a consistent application of blush over the foundation you can get the effect of "puff pastry", and the components can be mixed together. To prevent this from happening, wait a few minutes after applying the tonal base, only then proceed with the application of blush.
ink
If you use mascara on a daily basis, be prepared to renew it after three months, and girls who use mascara less often can count on semi-annual use. Bacteria feel great in a humid environment inside the bottle. Do not regret your favorite mascara, if its shelf life is coming to an end - you do not want to earn an unpleasant eye disease?

Eyeliner
The storage of eyeliner can be compared to ink - 3-4 months. Eyeliner is a slightly different story - seemingly use it until it's over. But no. And here there are rules, for example, as soon as a white coating appears on the pencil lead, this is a sure sign that the product can no longer be used
Pomade
Lipstick probably serves us the longest - the whole 2 of the year. As soon as you feel discomfort on the lips after application, think about changing the means. As a rule, spoiled lipstick very quickly imposes itself on the smell and uneven application. And one more thing: you do not need to use lipstick together with your girlfriend, firstly, you risk picking up the virus, secondly, lipstick will deteriorate faster.
Makeup brushes
Do you know that brushes need to be washed periodically? It is not so much in the aesthetic form, as in the reproduction of bacteria that spread over the skin, causing inflammation. Brush must be washed every three days. It is not necessary to buy a special tool for cleaning brushes, just use warm water and mild soap. With proper care, the brush will last you about 5-6 years.
