I can’t believe it. I had been just telling my buddy about this. I’ll need to share this to him.

The one I really don’t agree with is blush, powder products can be kept safely pretty much indefinitely as they don’t harbor bacteria. Also, eyeliner can always be sharpened to sanitize (pencil of course).

I clean my brushes regularly because I feel that if I don’t, germs will get on it and into my products. I also keep everything until it starts to go bad. Perfume actually goes bad!! I have this perfume called Diesel Green and it started to smell like alcohol. Yuck. As for mascaras, I try to throw them out every 6 months. Sometimes it sucks to just want to try a new mascara but then have to keep on using because it needs to be replaced after 6 months.

i toss mascara after about 3months, everything else i use til i run out or it goes bad (obviously). so i feel that’s a fair compromise. i’ve never had any skin or eye irritationor bacterial (acne) issues and if i’m the only one using the brushes and make up, applying it to a clean face, i feel justified in my actions.

I don’t get too concerned about how long I keep any beauty item, except mascara. Everything else I keep until it starts looking or smelling bad. Since I don’t share my makeup EVER, I don’t feel I have too much to worry about.

Brushes do need to be cleaned, but if you have forgotten and really, really need to use that brush…grab some hand sanitizer and run it through the brush. Dries instantly and at least you can use the brush safely!
