The Challenge Begins
I am horrified. I am scared. I am terrified. I am frightened for my mental well being because this is going to be a challenge that I do not want to do, but you guys requested this a full face using only expired makeup. This is not something you guys should be trying at home because the second that I put these products on my face, I’m probably going to get a rash, I’m going to break out, and my face is then going to explode into a million pieces. And you will have to throw a funeral for me. Okay, obviously I’m being very sarcastic here.
The Reality of Expired Makeup
Now, when I talk about a full face of expired makeup, it’s actually not as dramatic as what I’m making it seem. If you look on any of your makeup products that you might have in your makeup collection, they all have on the label what is known as the shelf life. Now it is this tiny, tiny, tiny, little icon that I’ll insert right here. It basically looks like a container with an open lid, and inside there will be a number that’ll probably say 6m, 12m, 18M, or sometimes like two.
Understanding the Shelf Life
Why? And basically, that stands for how long that product is good for use after it is open, and M stands for months, Y stands for years. This might sound really crazy to do a full face of expired makeup, but I have a potentially scary spoiler alert for you unless you are a super avid makeup buyer going out getting all the new launches when they come out at Sephora or Ulta pretty much every other week, I guarantee you almost every single product that you use on a daily basis is probably already expired.
The Dangers of Expired Makeup
You might be wondering, why is it such a big deal if my makeup is expired? Well, using expired makeup can lead to various problems for your skin. First of all, the texture of the products may change, making them difficult to apply smoothly. This can result in a streaky or patchy finish, ruining your makeup look.
Bacterial Growth and Infections
Expired makeup, especially liquid products like foundation and mascara, can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Over time, the preservatives in the products break down, increasing the risk of bacterial growth. Applying such products can lead to skin infections and breakouts.
Allergic Reactions
Another risk of using expired makeup is the likelihood of experiencing allergic reactions. As the ingredients in the products degrade, they may become more irritating to the skin. This can cause redness, itchiness, and even rashes, compromising the health of your skin.
Protecting Your Skin
It is essential to prioritize the safety and health of your skin. Regularly check the expiry dates of your makeup products and dispose of any that have expired. By using fresh and non-expired makeup, you can ensure a better application and reduce the chances of skin problems.
The Dangers of Expired Makeup
Have you ever wondered what happens to your skin when you use expired makeup? Well, today we are diving into the world of expired cosmetics to find out the truth. Prepare yourself for a full face of expired makeup, and brace yourself for the potential consequences!
The Beauty Sponge from Hell
Let’s start with that trusty old beauty sponge that has been your go-to for the past six years. Sure, it may have seen better days, but hey, it still gets the job done, right? Wrong! Using an expired and dirty beauty sponge can be a breeding ground for bacteria and can wreak havoc on your skin. Proceed with caution!
The Foundation that Should Have Retired
Next up, that foundation you’ve clung onto for the past two years. You may have thought that it would last forever, but all good things must come to an end. Expired foundation can lead to skin irritation, breakouts, and even infections. It’s time to bid farewell to your beloved foundation and find a new one!
The Eternal Eyeshadow Palette
Ah, the James Charles eyeshadow palette, a true beauty guru favorite. You’ve been using it faithfully since its launch in 2019, but it’s time to face the truth – it has expired. Using expired eyeshadows can result in eye infections and irritations. It’s time to retire this palette and invest in some fresh, new shades.
Is Expiry Date Really the End?
Now, you may be wondering if the expiry date is truly the end-all-be-all of a makeup formula. Can you still use expired products as long as you’re careful? The answer is complicated. While some products may still work past their expiry, they can also pose health risks. It’s best to err on the side of caution and stick to fresh and unexpired makeup.
The Makeup Routine of Doom
Now that you have a glimpse into the dangers of expired makeup, let’s dive into a full face of expired products. Brace yourself, because things are about to get messy!
The First Step: Primer
Ah, the primer. This is where the real danger begins. Today, we’re using the elf poreless putty primer. This product is the most skincare adjacent and has the potential to do some serious damage to your skin. Proceed with extreme caution, my friends!
Remember, while it may be tempting to use expired makeup for the sake of beauty experimentation, it’s important to prioritize your skin’s health and safety. Don’t risk the potential consequences for the sake of a glam look. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your skin!
The Expired Primer
Now this is a great primer. I know a lot of people stand by this, but personally, I just have ones that I prefer a bit more. I bought this probably two years ago now for a challenge video here on YouTube, and this has a six-month shelf life. So, this has been expired for about a year and a half as you guys can see. It has like one or two finger swatches in there and has not been used since, so definitely expired. Probably not the best for me to be using on my skin today, but it’s probably not gonna make that big of a deal, let’s be real, and this is a great primer, so it could still be. You know gorgeous for the makeup routine. I’m just going to put it on in my normal areas, just kidding, it’s fine.
The Foundation Dilemma
Now that we are all primed and ready to go, the skin looks fine. I will keep you guys posted if anything breaks out or if anything gets a little unsettled, but for right now, we’re looking good. Now for foundation. This one is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Foundation. I love this one. This foundation is great, um, but this actually released in 2019, so we are nearing the end of 2023, uh, which makes this almost five years old, which is literally insane. This also has a shelf life of 12 months. I’m gonna use the shade 140n today on myself, um, and we’re just gonna make this work and hope for the best.
Aging Eyeshadows
Now let’s move on to eyeshadows. This palette here caught my eye, no pun intended. It’s a beautiful palette with so many shades to choose from. The only issue? It expired over a year ago. Yes, I know, it’s hard to let go of a perfect eyeshadow palette, but keeping expired products can be risky. The texture may have changed, and it might not blend as well. However, I’m feeling adventurous today, so let’s see how it goes. I’ll start with a neutral shade and build up from there.
Questionable Mascara
Next up, we have mascara. This one has seen better days, for sure. Mascara is one of those products that you should never use past its expiration date. Bacteria can accumulate in the wand, potentially leading to eye infections or irritation. But who am I to follow the rules, right? Let’s just say I’m living on the edge today. I’ll apply it carefully and hope for the best. Please, please don’t let me end up with panda eyes.
Time for a Pop of Blush
Now, for a pop of color on the cheeks, I have this lovely blush. It’s been sitting in my makeup drawer for ages, and I can’t even remember when I bought it. It’s definitely past its prime, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ll use a light hand and blend it out well, hoping it still has some pigment left. If not, well, let’s just say I might end up looking more like a clown than a
The Importance of Expiration Dates on Makeup Products
As a beauty guru, I have always appreciated Anastasia’s wide range of products that have kept me well-stocked over the years. However, I must confess that I haven’t been able to go through all of them, and unfortunately, many of them have become expired. Today, I decided to put some of these expired products, specifically foundation, to use.
Why do makeup products have expiration dates?
The reason behind assigning a period after opening (PAO) number to makeup products lies in the fact that different ingredients used in these products have varying shelf lives. Foundations, in particular, tend to have a PAO because once a bottle is opened, the more it is exposed to air, the more likely it is for the foundation formula to oxidize. Additionally, since many foundations are water-based, there is a possibility of them growing mold, although this is quite infrequent. Companies include the PAO as a legal precaution and warning to ensure consumer safety.
Taking care of your makeup products
It’s essential to take good care of your makeup products from the start. Always remember to put the lid back on and seal them tightly to prevent air exposure. By doing so, you can extend the shelf life of your products, and ensure that you get the most out of your hard-earned money.
The Results of Using Expired Makeup
Now, let’s get to the exciting part – my full face of expired makeup. I must admit, the outcome is quite astonishing. The zombie-like effect is not something I expected, but it looks amazing! Despite the expired products, my skin appears smooth, gorgeous, and healthy. Just look at that transformation!
I must say, I am having an exceptionally good skin day today. Who would have thought that expired makeup could still work wonders? It just goes to show that sometimes, you stumble upon unexpected results that defy the norm.
Tarte Shape Tape: A Game-Changer
Next up on my makeup routine is a crazy one – Tarte Shape Tape. This product has gained quite a reputation in the beauty community for its incredible coverage and long-lasting formula. Even though it’s crucial to use non-expired products, I couldn’t resist giving this one a try.
The moral of the story is, while we should prioritize using fresh and non-expired makeup products, sometimes venturing into the world of expired makeup can lead to surprising outcomes. It’s all about experimentation and finding what works best for you.
Concealer: A Love-Hate Relationship
Concealer has always been a staple in my makeup routine. I’ve tried various brands, but I always find myself going back to my trusty old favorite. This particular concealer has been in my collection since 2017 or 2018. Tart, the brand that launched this concealer, sent it to all the beauty gurus and I have used up almost all the shades. However, here’s the catch – this concealer has a shelf life of only six months. And now, we’re almost seven years past its expiration date. Disgusting, I know. But despite that, I still kind of like it. It’s not exactly good or gorgeous, but let’s proceed with caution and see what we can do with it.
Reviving Coverage with Shape Tape Concealer
To try and salvage some coverage from this expired concealer, I’m going to use my trusty Shape Tape concealer. I’ve been experimenting with some new techniques lately, and surprisingly, they have been working quite well. I let the expired concealer sit on my face for a few seconds before blending in the Shape Tape. I must admit, there’s a funky smell to the expired concealer that is not part of my usual makeup routine. But let’s soldier on.
Cream Contouring with Fenty Matchstick
Now onto cream contouring. I absolutely adore the Fenty Matchstick. It’s a fantastic product that never disappoints. However, like the concealer, this too has been in my collection for far too long. I don’t even remember when I purchased it, but it’s safe to say it’s well past its expiration date. But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Blush: Adding Life to an Expired Collection
Next up, blush. I’m reaching for an old favorite that I’ve had for years. It’s probably expired too, but who’s counting? A blush can add a touch of life to any makeup look, even if the product itself is well past its prime.
Eyeshadow: A Trip Down Memory Lane
As I delve into my eyeshadow collection, I can’t help but reminisce about the memories associated with each shade. Some of these eyeshadows have been with me for ages, and I’m sure they have long exceeded their recommended shelf life. But here’s the thing – expired eyeshadows can still create beautiful looks, as long as you know how to work with them.
Mascara: A Risky Business
Now, this is where things get risky. Mascara is notorious for harboring bacteria and becoming a breeding ground for eye infections. Using expired mascara is never a good idea, but for the sake of this experiment, let’s just say it’s a calculated risk.
Finishing Touches: Lipstick and Setting Spray
To complete this full face of expired makeup, I’m reaching for an old lipstick and a setting spray that have both seen better days. The lipstick may have lost its original pigment, but with a little creativity, it can still add a pop of color to my lips.
FULL FACE OF EXPIRED MAKEUP!
The Contour Stick Debacle
Fancy was in their bag with this one. I still use this Contour stick every single day and today is gonna be no different, but it just expires. These came out in July of 2022 and have a 12 month period after opening date. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. We just looked. We looked this up. I knew that there was no way this came out in 2022 because I really, I just Gaslight myself into believing this. I’ve been using these for years. These actually came out in 2017. So this is actually six years old, that’s nasty. So these did not just expire. This has been expired for a very, very long time, but, as I said, I still use this every single day. Do that information, what you will.
The Outdated Blush Sticks
Now the next step we’re going to add on some cream blush. This is actually a product that just recently expired. This is the Kylie Jenner blush sticks. Now, I love a lot of products from Kylie Cosmetics. I still use her blushes almost every single day. I’m obsessed with the new matte lipsticks. It might be one of my favorite formulas I’ve ever tried, but these were not a hit for me. I think this came out for Valentine’s Day last year in 2022, and these only had a six-month shelf life on them. So, almost a year expired. Let’s go ahead and do a little Swatch on the cheek and now we’re just going to use a brush to tap this in place.
The Ongoing Makeup Dilemma
As I continue with my full face of expired makeup, I can’t help but wonder why I’m subjecting myself to this. Is it the attachment I have to these products? Or maybe, deep down, I fear letting go of what has become part of my daily routine. Whatever the reason may be, it’s undeniable that using expired makeup is not ideal.
Questionable Mascara
Next up, it’s time for mascara. This one is a definite offender when it comes to expiration dates. Mascara is known to harbor bacteria and using an expired one can potentially lead to eye infections. But alas, I can’t resist the allure of long, voluminous lashes. So, I forge ahead, applying the mascara despite the tiny voice in the back of my head telling me it’s a bad idea.
A Lipstick Dilemma
Moving on to lipstick, I reach for a shade that used to be my go-to. It’s worn out now, the tube battered and labeled with a date long past. Dare I apply it to my lips? The texture has changed, the color slightly off. But still, I persist, figuring a quick swipe won’t do any harm. Ah, the lengths we go for the name of beauty.
The Final Look
And there it is, my full face of expired makeup. Is it a disaster waiting to happen? Perhaps. But for now, I stand before the mirror, perplexed by my own choices yet strangely satisfied. The flaws
The Unfortunate Blending Issue
Oh that does not want to blend. I do remember this happening when I first opened it. This formula was never my favorite to begin with, but that, oh, you can still see it. I guess its just not really showing up on camera, but you can see it in person.
Attempting to Fix the Problem
Okay, Im gonna play a little bit more of our expired concealer. To try to fix this up, we’ve had worse makeup days, that’s for sure. Let’s go ahead and set this with powder now, for today we’re bringing back an oldie, but again, okay. This is the Cody aerospun powder. This is Miss flashback, Mary in a container. This was released in like 1954, okay. This has been around for a very, very long time. In fact, it smells like it was released in 1954, even if you just bought a new one.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
This is giving grandma’s house, and this powder actually has the longest period after opening of any makeup product that we’re going to use today or honestly, anyone that I’ve ever seen. This has a three-year period after opening, but even though this is good for three years, I’ve had this in my collection for six. There’s literally a hole ripped inside of it, I don’t even know if you guys can see that. Okay, let’s go ahead and jump in there. Sometimes, I do forget how good this powder actually was. I mean, honestly, it still is. Look at that, it looks so smooth and so blurred. Like, look at that, it looks perfect.
Bronzing with Expired Makeup
I need to bring this back. Hello lets. Do some bronzing. I would love to add some color back to the face.
The Hula Bronzer
Okay, we’re gonna go in with a staple. I feel like this too has been around since 1954. Okay, this is the Hula bronzer from Benefit. I know every single one of y’all has this in your makeup collection – and this probably was one of the first things you bought. I love this bronzer. I still use it years later. It is truly one of the best. The formula is amazing, the color is perfect and it also is expired.
An Expired Favorite
Um, these have a shelf life of 12 months and this definitely expired definitely ran through, as you guys can see. I have used the living hell out of this and I will continue doing so. Okay, look at this, we’re gonna swirl this all around here because this formula is bomb. Now we’re going to use this to apply some bronzer and color back to the skin because that blush didn’t do a whole lot.
Scary Eyebrows
Our next product, we’re moving on to our eyebrows, and this is where it gets scary. I feel like this tutorial isn’t even like a full face of expired makeup anymore, it’s becoming a full face of 2016 makeup because we’re gonna be using the Anastasia Dip Brow. Now, I don’t have to give you guys just be all you know all about this product. You know what it has created on me and you know why I no longer use it, although it is a great product.
Using Expired Makeup
Okay, no, no shade to Anastasia. I was just using it very poorly for a very long period of time. Now this product has a six month period after opening. I think these released in like 2000, probably 14, 15 or 16, or something I haven’t had this one open for seven years, but it has been a very long time since I have reached into these and used them in my makeup.
Reviving Dried Products
Now find a little hack for you guys, while we’re on the topic of you, know, products that may have been opened a long time ago. Inglot actually has a really great product called duraline that you can use to rehydrate or fix any products like this. That are a cream or a gel that have dried out. This is a great staple for any makeup artist to have in their kit, and this has definitely saved me in these circumstances. So we’re gonna give a little squeeze in there and we’re going to mix it all together.
<h2.Applying Expired Makeup
Okay, so I’m going to start on the tail just by filling this in and I’m gonna go with, oh my God, it’s so dark hell, also mind you. The color that I’m using today is the one that I’ve had open and it is medium brown. So now, if I was to go on, I would definitely use a soft brown or something even lighter, because obviously the darker it is the crazier it’s going to look honestly.
Using Expired Makeup: James Charles X Morphe Palette
This looks thickening. Let’s do an eyeshadow look and continue this full Glam Journey that we have going on and we’re going to use something that is definitely expired. The James Charles X Morphe palette, an oldie but goodie. I get so many DMs from you guys asking if this is still for sale. If you can still get one, you ran out, you hit pan now, she’s gone, but never forgotten, obviously, very grateful for all the memories inside, but she’s no longer for sale with me or with Morphe. So you have to wait until the very first painted palette comes out, but anyway, this, I believe, is not my very original first palette, but it is the second one that I’ve ever used, and I still have it right here in my collection.
Expired Makeup Base: Create Paints
I’m actually going to use my brand new Create Paints as an eyeshadow base, but the PAO (Period After Opening) on these are 12 months, as you can see on the back of the tube. And although we just launched, I’ve had these samples sitting in my makeup collection for a very long time. If you guys watch the review video, you would know that I actually have these in my collection for almost two years now, using them in so many different looks, testing them out, making sure that they were good to go for you guys. So technically, mine are actually expired.
Using Expired Makeup as Eyeshadow Base
So we’re going to use none of it today as an eyeshadow base to make the powder shadows really pop. Expired makeup can have unpredictable effects on the skin, and it’s important to be cautious when using old products. However, as a beauty influencer, I wanted to experiment and show you the potential of using expired makeup in a safe and controlled environment.
Creating a Stunning Eyeshadow Look
Using the expired James Charles X Morphe palette and the expired Create Paints as a base, I started creating a stunning eyeshadow look. Despite the age of the products, the shadows still have great pigmentation and blendability. It just goes to show that even expired makeup can give you beautiful results if used correctly.
The Importance of Checking Expiration Dates
While it’s exciting to experiment with expired makeup, it’s essential to check the expiration dates on your products. Using expired makeup can lead to skin irritation, infections, and breakouts. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your skin’s health.
Now, I’m going to go in a little bit of caution, first, just on the inner corner and we’re going to blend it out. So while we put on the shadow, I’m going to tell you a little bit about why an eyeshadow palette may be expired, pigments, waxes, and silicones, and over the years of sitting on your shelves once they are opened, those ingredients can start to break down, therefore affecting the overall performance of the eyeshadow.
The Breakdown of Ingredients
Now, I’m not an expert, nor am I claiming to be, but obviously, if a shadow stops working, a brand is going to want you to stop using it just for your own safety, but also to make sure that you’re getting the best quality products humanly possible that are going to perform in your makeup looks. Even as a new brand owner, that’s a sign that I’m having to educate myself about because, obviously, I want to make sure that you guys are getting the best quality products as well.
The Reliable Palette
Now, speaking of in terms of the studio Charles X, Morphe palette, it’s still working beautifully. Obviously, this is years and years and years old, but as you guys can see, I’m creating this yellow and orange look using the different shades and it’s still blending out, it’s still very pigmented, it’s not causing any sort of problems on my eyes. But obviously, when it comes to any product that you’re using, please make sure you’re just being safe, making sure that you’re doing any sort of patch tests ahead of time, making sure that your skin is all good and using according to the directions.
The Importance of Safe Usage
Expired makeup can be a breeding ground for bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Even if it appears to work fine, it’s crucial to remember that our skin is delicate, and using expired makeup can lead to irritation, breakouts, and even infections.
Patch tests are a great way to ensure that your skin reacts well to a product before applying it to your entire face. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of skin, like the inner forearm, and observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If there are no adverse reactions after 24 hours, it’s generally considered safe to use the product.
Furthermore, following the recommended usage instructions is essential to maximize the performance and safety of your makeup. Different products have specific instructions on how they should be applied, how much to use, and how long they can be kept before expiration. It’s important to read and abide by these guidelines to ensure the best outcome.
Quality Over Quantity
In the world of makeup, quality should always triumph over quantity. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of owning various palettes and products, but it’s crucial to remember that using expired makeup not only compromises its effectiveness but also puts your health at risk.
Investing in high-quality products from trusted brands ensures that you are getting the best possible performance and safer ingredients. Take the time to research and choose products that align with your values and preferences. Your skin will thank you for it.
Stay Informed, Stay Beautiful
As makeup enthusiasts, it’s important to stay informed about the potential risks of using expired makeup. Keeping up with industry updates, reading product labels, and understanding the lifespan of different cosmetics can help you make informed decisions
Expired Eyeshadow
I couldn’t help but admire how my eyeshadow turned out. It had a beautiful sun-kissed glow that enhanced my look. But little did I realize that the eyeshadow I used was long past its expiration date. It’s quite perplexing how a product can look so stunning but still be harmful to use on my skin. The brand of the eyeshadow, which happened to be Marc Jacobs Beauty, doesn’t even exist anymore. Surprisingly, they decided to bring back this product just recently, even though it had been discontinued back in 2021.
Mascara Mishap
Moving on to my lashes, I reached for an oldie but goodie – my trusty Marc Jacobs Beauty mascara. However, this product has a shelf life of only six months. I can’t help but wonder why I still have this mascara in my collection, considering it’s been at least three years since I’ve had it. Clearly, it’s way beyond its expiration date. But despite that, I couldn’t resist using it on my lashes. There’s something intriguing about using a discontinued mascara that used to be so popular. The dilemma arises when I question the potential consequences of using expired makeup on my face.
Lucky Lip Liners
While I apologize for not being able to show you any expired lip liners from my collection, I can at least share some information about their shelf life. Lip liner pencils, such as the ones made by Makeup by Mario, typically have a long lifespan of 18 months. Luckily, I go through lip liners quite quickly, so I rarely keep any old ones around. It’s a relief to know that I don’t have to worry about the safety of my lip liners in this case.
A Blast from the Past
Now, prepare yourself for the shocking revelation. During a recent browse through my lip collection, I stumbled upon one of my original KKW Beauty cream lipsticks. It’s hard to believe that these lipsticks were released almost six years ago in 2018. That means they have definitely expired by now. These lipsticks were iconic in their time, loved by many for their stunning shades and excellent formula. It’s fascinating how a product that was once revolutionary is now considered a rare find, being sold on eBay for exorbitant prices. KKW Beauty may have shut down in 2021, but the nostalgia these lipsticks evoke is undeniable.
Why Expired Makeup is Still Being Used
Despite its expiration date, many people continue to use expired makeup products. Some may hope for its return, while others simply cannot bear to waste it. Regardless of the consequences, these individuals apply expired makeup onto their faces, disregarding any potential risks.
The Unpleasant Experience
Using expired makeup often comes with unpleasant side effects. The taste and smell can be off-putting, making the whole experience quite unappealing. The texture of the makeup may have changed, and it may feel sticky when applied. Furthermore, the taste can be reminiscent of plastic, making it feel like biting into a toy. Despite these unpleasantries, some individuals brave through it in the name of beauty.
A Dash of Nostalgia
In an outdated collection of makeup products, there may be hidden gems. Some items, like the Too Faced setting spray, manage to withstand the test of time. Not only do they still function correctly after years, but they also evoke a sense of nostalgia. The familiar scent and effect bring back memories, leading individuals to continue using these beloved products.
The Remarkable Transformation
Against the odds, a full face of expired makeup can still create a stunning look. The thickening texture of expired foundation and concealer can surprisingly offer flawless coverage. Contouring products, such as bronzers and highlighters, continue to work their magic. Even cream blushes, despite not being a personal favorite, manage to enhance the overall look. Fortunately, the saving grace comes in the form of powder blush, rescuing the makeup look from potential disaster. Well-groomed brows are achieved with a little effort, reviving dried-out brow products. Lastly, the lips, although taste disgusting, contribute to the desired aesthetic, reminding us of the cultural significance of iconic makeup.
A Lesson in Makeup Safety
While using expired makeup can lead to questionable experiences, it’s important to note that all products come with ingredient labels and warnings. Consumers have access to the necessary information to make informed choices about the products they use. It is crucial to read and follow these instructions to ensure safety. Ultimately, once a person has spent their money on makeup, they have the autonomy to use it however they see fit.
What’s the Deal with Expired Makeup?
Makeup has become an essential part of our daily lives. From foundation to lipstick, we rely on these products to enhance our features and boost our confidence. But what happens when your beloved makeup products expire? It’s not a pleasant thought, but it’s an important topic to discuss.
Understanding Makeup Expiration Dates
Just like any other product, makeup has a shelf life. Over time, the ingredients in the products break down, making them less effective and potentially harmful. Many makeup products come with a symbol that looks like a jar with an open lid and a number inside. This number represents the number of months the product is safe to use after opening.
The Risks of Using Expired Makeup
Using expired makeup poses several risks to your health and skin. The most common issue is bacterial growth. As the ingredients in makeup start to deteriorate, they create a breeding ground for bacteria. This can lead to infections, breakouts, and even skin allergies.
Moreover, expired makeup can lose its effectiveness. Your foundation may not provide the coverage you desire, and your mascara might clump or dry out. Ultimately, using expired makeup can compromise your desired look.

But the consequences didn’t end there. Within hours, James experienced redness, itching, and irritation on his skin. It became evident that using expired makeup can have serious repercussions, even for professionals like James Charles.
The Important Lesson Learned
James’ experiment shed light on the importance of makeup expiration dates. While it may be tempting to use a favorite lipstick or eyeshadow palette past its prime, it’s crucial to prioritize your health and safety.
Makeup should be enjoyed, but not at the expense of your well-being. Regularly check the expiration dates of your products and dispose of anything that has expired. Your skin will thank you.
