Can I still use blush if it's expired?

Some beautiful girls are always very frugal. They seldom use the cosmetics they buy, and some are even left somewhere without being used for a long time. As we all know, everything has a shelf life, some times are long and some are shorter. After this period, the thing will deteriorate and can no longer be used. Once cosmetics are expired, they will harm the skin if used again. Let’s see if expired blush can still be used?

1 Eyeliner pencil and liquid eyeliner

If there are white heads on the tip of your eyeliner that cannot be trimmed off, you should throw them away. If the eyeliner you apply comes off very easily, it's a sign that the eyeliner is expired. The lifespan of liquid eyeliner does not exceed half a year, while the lifespan of eyeliner pencil is generally around 1 year.

2. Mascara

Generally, it is safer to replace a mascara every 3 to 4 months. If your mascara smells like gasoline, or clumps up, or granules appear on your eyelashes when applied, you should stop using it immediately.

3. Eyeshadow

In fact, the shelf life of powdered eye shadow is generally about two years. Remember to clean your eyeshadow brush regularly, otherwise a lot of bacteria will be brought into the eyeshadow palette. If you are used to applying eye shadow with your hands, be sure to wash your hands before applying makeup.

Tips2: Facial makeup

1 Liquid foundation

It turns out that liquid foundation is a breeding ground for bacteria. Unopened liquid foundation can be stored for many years, but once opened, it must be used up as soon as possible within six months to a year. Expired foundation will emit an unpleasant odor and its color will change, which means that the oil composition inside has changed, which will be very irritating to girls' skin.

2. Concealer

Like liquid foundation, expired concealer will change color and look oily when applied to the skin. This is because the oil in the expired concealer will rise to the surface. The lifespan of concealer is no more than one year.

3. Loose powder and powder

The shelf life of general honey powder and loose powder is about 2 to 3 years. Some loose powders containing plant essences contain a small amount of moisture, so be sure not to place them in humid places such as the bathroom to avoid breeding of bacteria. If your loose or face powder starts to clump, turn gray, or turn green, just throw it away.

4. Blush

Like loose powder and face powder, if blush appears clumpy, cracked, or discolored, it means it has gone bad. Keeping a clean blush brush is also necessary to extend the life of your blush.

Tips3: Other cosmetics

1. Lipstick and lip gloss

If your lipstick or lip gloss smells bad, looks caked or discolored, or especially if it causes a burning sensation or allergic reaction, then you should stop using it.

2. Nail polish

In fact, the shelf life of nail polish does not depend on its color, but on its concentration and composition. If after shaking, the sediment at the bottom of the bottle cannot combine with the oil, then it is expired. Expired nail polish will make your nails dry and yellow.

3. Makeup tools

If ladies protect them well, general beauty tools can be used for several years. But when the bristles on your brush start to fall off, it's time to consider getting a new set. If you want to keep your beauty tools in their original and undamaged state, you should wipe them carefully with a dry towel or paper towel after each use, and clean the brush head every two weeks, then they will be more durable. Remember this.

Okay, go check your makeup!
