Lipstick - Look out for changes in taste and smell or texture changes. If you find it difficult to apply, or it has dew drops on the bullet or the color has changed, then it is a good indicator for you to trash it.
Liquid Foundation - Liquid foundation, once opened, should be replaced after six to twelve months. If you see a change in colour, or it smells wrong, or it is clumpy replace it immediately as using it might cause skin irritation.
Mascara - Mascara should be changed as often as every two to three months after opening to the bottle to prevent eye irritation. Also keep a check on the smell.
Compact, Blush and Eye shadow - Face powders and powder blush can normally last up to 24 months since they lack water, and thus don't grow bacteria. If there is any change in colour change, or the powder is completely hard, it's time to throw it out. Eye shadows, however, have a higher risk since they can get wet easily since they are closer to the eyes and can transfer bacteria to the sensitive eye. Be aware of any change in colour or odd smell and replace if you suspect something is wrong.
Lip Gloss - Just like lipstick, look out for changes in taste and smell or texture changes. If your lip gloss feels sticky or has streaks and clumps, then it's time to discard.
