1. Your makeup is expired
If the expiration date on your makeup is due, you should just throw it out and get a new one. Similar to most ingredients found in makeup products, preservatives (whether chemical or natural) have a limited shelf life that needs to be respected. Keep in mind that preservatives can only keep your products good for a specific time, so never ignore the expiration date, or else your skin will suffer the consequences. How to Help Your Makeup Live Longer We all want to keep using our favorite makeup products for as long as possible. Fortunately, here are some tips and tricks that can help you extend your makeup’s shelf life. Avoid applying your makeup with your fingers. Admittedly, applying eye shadow, blush, or foundation with your fingers can often be practical. However, this method isn’t the right one if you want your makeup to live longer. You should not only avoid dipping your fingers into your makeup, but you should also keep them away from any compact powder surface and bottle opening. Instead, use a clean sponge or brush. Clean your makeup tools regularly. Cleaning your makeup brushes and sponges on a regular basis will help prevent breakouts, keep harmful bacteria at bay, and provide a smoother application. Never ever share makeup. Although it’s not always easy, especially for those of you who love sharing, not letting others use your makeup products is the best thing to do if you want to keep your makeup for longer. Store your products properly Make sure to keep your makeup products away from hot bathrooms or drawers. Once you’re done with a certain product, just seal it and store it somewhere dry and cool.
