Getting a Head Start on Spring Cleaning? Start With Your Makeup Bag

Liquid and cream products, such as foundation and concealer, can last up to 12 months. It's easy to tell when they should be thrown into the garbage bin: Dried-up product, uneven consistency and a foul odor are all tell-tale signs you need to get rid makeup. Powder formulas last longer — up to two years — as they don't contain water. If you notice excess build-up around the rim (which could be due to the minerals mixing with oils), better toss them out now.
