Does lipstick go bad?

The wrong color may spoil your mood, but the risk of a lipstick or lip-gloss formula spoiling (or growing bacteria) is low since they don't contain water, says Hammer. But since they're repeatedly exposed to the mouth area, he suggests replacing lip products after a year — or if you've recently been sick.

Makeup artist Pati Dubroff will toss her mascara even sooner if she notices one thing in particular: "It will also have a distinct gasoline-like smell once it's gone bad." If you develop any negative symptoms, immediately throw out any of your eye makeup that may have been contaminated. If your eyes are still irritated a day or two later, see an eye doctor.

Foundation

With the exception of powder formulas, foundations are water-based, which means bacteria love them. Unopened, foundation can last for a couple of years, but once the seal is broken, Hammer says, it's best to replace it after six to 12 months. Keep foundations out of moist environments (such as your bathroom) and away from heat, as high temperatures encourage the growth of the bugs and can speed up the spoiling — true for beauty products in general. An off smell or a change in color tells you the formula is finished — applying it could cause irritation or breakouts. Another sign of a liquid or creamy foundation (or concealer or blush) being past its prime: separation. "Separation can be seen as an oil layer forming on top, color not distributed correctly throughout the product, or a water layer forming on the bottom," says Koestline. "Separation can make the preservative system less effective and therefore make the product prone to contamination."

Concealer

This is meant to cover blemishes, not cause them — which is what can happen if you use a concealer that's too old. "You'll know it's gone bad because the color will start to shift," cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson has told Allure. The closer to liquid form a concealer is, the sooner it should be tossed; concealers in powder and stick form can last for up to two years, while liquids should be replaced after one.

Face Powder

Powders, both pressed and loose, are the Energizer Bunny of makeup. They keep going... and going — for up to two years. Still, as Wilson has told Allure, "some powders contain small amounts of water from botanical extracts, so there's the risk of it growing bacteria if you leave it lying around your bathroom." Look on the ingredients panel for long Latin names — these are often botanicals, and their common names (such as oat extract, chamomile, aloe, bamboo, and green tea extracts) are typically listed in parentheses.

Blush

The same rules that apply to face powder apply to powder blush. Cream blush, however, should be replaced after a year, "since the formula environment is generally one where bacteria can thrive and application of this product form is usually done with the fingertips," says Teschendorf.
