i keep them for 1 year, or according to what the bottle says.

I keep my makeup for a few months, I guess.

until i run out. XD

never keep it .

wow mascara 3 months?? I’ve had mine for a while now… O_o

I tend to keep my makeup much longer than suggested. I’ve been forcing myself to toss my mascara every 3 months though.

I usually replace my nailpolish every year, my mascara every 7 months, and my lip gloss probably every 3-14 months.

whenever it runs out

I don’t think I’ve ever thrown anything away.. XD
I just stop using it and forget about it…

Ooh I have DEFINITELY noticed the paint smell with my makeup. Thanks for the tips!

I don’t wear makeup, however I do keep one bottle of mascara just in case. It’s been two years, time to throw it out. What a waste too.. I only used it twice or three times since I got it.. waste of $6. 

About the same as it says I should, because its when they wear out or are used up.  

I keep mine way to long!

I’ve never seen makeup grow mold before…and if someone needs to be told to throw it out…that’s kinda sad.

I keep mine as long as I can because they are EXPENSIVE!

I have a thing of powder and concealer that I haven’t opened yet since I have eczema currently. Also, I’ve toned down on the makeup routine. Only do it for job interviews and special occasions now.

hahahahah i can relate with ur eyeshadow incident ><
i usually throw it out when its obvious that it’s time to throw it out

like, for mascara, when it starts clumping a lot faster than
it should or its clearly running dry, ill throw it out.

basically using my best judgement and for everything else,
i just keep it until i run out (:

whenever i feel like..GOD when did i purchase this..then yea =] but if is brand new unopen, then its another story. Those estimate time only works for opened/active products.

I’ve only ever owned mascara and sometimes eyeliner, and I don’t keep my mascara for over 5 months. When I have eyeliner, I lose it before time’s up and I don’t really like it. 

This is some pretty interesting information… thank you for sharing. 
I’ll usually keep my eyeshadow around but not use them anymore. I replace my mascara the most because it starts to irritate my eyes after a few uses. 

Whenever it runs out, gets messed up, or I decided I don’t want to wear it anymore.

I keep mine for too long, but I do wash brushes between every use (since I rarely use makeup). My mascara has DEFINITELY exceeded that 3 month limit by far.

according to the labels, I’d be bankrupt if I threw them out as often as they suggest and buy new ones to replace.

ALL the items I keep about 18 months to 2 years.
Mascara, if I got it but never used it (unopened) then I use it after the current supply is done so anywhere between 6-10 months. I don’t use A LOT of makeup when I do wear it and I wash my brushes every week to keep it clean.

I was once grossed out by some old eyeshadow I had—but I do have a hard time throwing things out..

I keep my make up for wayyyy longer than I’m suppose to

Eyeshadow and blush :Until I inevitably drop it and it pulverizes
Lipstick: Until it gets that weird smell.
Foundation and Mascara: Until it’s used up.

I keep mine until I run out o.o but if it is nail polish, I do throw it out after a year, even with lip balm.

when the makeup runs out or if i don’t like it anymore, i toss it out.

I’ve had the same Halloween makeup for like 16 years.

hmm i had my first eyeshadow too! i never use it though its just there. but hmm blush 18 months.. =/ I hardly made a dent in my nars orgasm blush and it was really expensive- i would hate to throw it away after 18 months knowing there is a lot left! but i think im going to throw away my first eyeshadows now lol i use masacra until it runs out which is like 6-8 months and usually keep everything else until it runs outt.

i keep most of my makeup for about three months…thats the basic rule for most makeup and if you haven’t used it all up by then, i’m pretty sure it doesn’t work as well as it used to when you first purchased it. at least thats how it is with me. the only makeup products that i don’t change every three months would be lipgloss and mascara. i actually use a lot of mascara and end up finding myself purchasing a new tube every month. as with lipgloss, if it still has the flavor and there’s nothing surrounding the part where you screw the cap back on (such as dust, dirt, etc…) then i’ll keep it for a little while longer.

I have nailpolish from 4th grade, I am in 11th now. Ahahah

till i run out

I throw out what I don’t like anymore.  BUT OH MAN I never knew I need to cycle my makeup.. oops. OH well. Or I throw it out when it’s all used up.

my foundation i keep about 3-4 months, well that’s how long it lasts me.  lip gloss about 4-6 months, mascara only 3 months, eyeliners and pencils also 3 months.  blush – 6 months and eye shadows and cremes only 3 months.  it’s not really healthy to keep it so long.  you could get an infection by the bacteria that these products collect.

i mean i would love to dispose of all my make up periodically if i had the money to replace it… i guess it’s a good thing i only wear eyeliner now

I change my Mascara and Eye Liner every 3 months now cuz the doctor said I should…after I got an infected Stye from my makeup i’ve had for awhile now.

i keep makeup for years…but rarely use it. the stuff i actually use is relatively new
