Do you keep your makeup for too long? How can you tell if your sharpen-able products are expired? ⁠


⭐️ Lip pencils⁠

⭐️ Eye liner/shadow⁠

⭐️ Things you sharpen⁠

Since beauty products have a "period after opening" it can be hard to tell if something is truly expired. ⁠

In general: ⁠

  • Does it smell "off"? Fresh makeup doesn't have a smell. A drawer of bad makeup does. Can smell waxy (like crayons), or like out that's gone bad. ⁠

  • Is there a texture change? Things can get more liquidly, sticky, chunky, or have visible separation over time. ⁠

  • Products with active ingredients like SPF will have an expiry date printed
