As far as I know, makeup products do not have expiration dates. Or do you know? They can even expire immediately you open it. If you want them to last longer then you will need to handle them properly.
Based on their formulation and their susceptibility to contamination from use, professionals in the makeup industry around the world have come up with make up products life span charts such as this :
Foundation. 1yr - 11/2yr
Eye shadow. 1yr - 11/2
Lipstick. 11/2yr - 2yrs
Mascara. 3 - 6 months
Blush. 11/2yr - 2yrs
Lipgloss. 11/2yr - 2yrs
Lip Pencil. 1yr - 2yrs
Bronzer. 11/2 - 2yrs
Eyeliner 6months - 1yr
Eye pencil. 1yr - 2yrs
Powder. 11/2 - 2yrs
Generally, you need to stop using makeup when you see these signs
1. When they begin to smell badly
2. Have water on top eg. Foundation, concealer etc.
3. Looses it consistency, becomes hard and difficult to apply or becomes gloppy like in lip gloss.
4. When you get irritated, itchy or inflamed skin.
