CONCEALER: 1-2 YEARS<br />
The shelf life of concealer will vary based on the consistency of the concealer. A powder or stick concealer can<br />
last up to two years, while a liquid concealer is only truly usable for about one year. As always, storing in a cool<br />
and dry place will help your concealers last longer. Be on the lookout for a change in the color of your concealer<br />
as you approach the end of its shelf life. If this occurs, it probably means it’s time to toss it and move on.<br />
POWDERS: 2 YEARS<br />
Powders — like bronzers, blushes and setting powders — are some of the longest lasting products you can<br />
purchase. These steadfast basics can last you up to two years. Bacteria have difficulty growing in such dry products.<br />
However, it is still a good idea to keep these powders away from wet or hot areas to prevent chances of<br />
bacterial growth. Your application technique can also affect bacterial conditions. Make sure to allow for a few<br />
minutes between your foundation application and powder application in order to give the foundation time to<br />
dry. This prevents the foundation’s oil residue from carrying moisture into your powder product.<br />
