What's in your makeup bag?

If you are like most women, your makeup bag consists of makeup that is long past its expiration date. Makeup should be changed constantly to avoid infections. The shelf life of your makeup varies on the the type. Some general suggestions for how long to keep your makeup are as follows:

Liquid foundation: 3-6 months
Powders: 1 year
Lip Gloss & Lipstick : 1 year
Mascara: 3 months—air pushes bacteria back into the tube, so never pump your mascara.
Eye pencils: 1 year—sharpen pencils once a week to avoid bacteria.

Whatever your cosmetic & skincare needs may be, Become will help you find the right item for the best price!
