Does Makeup Expire? Here’s What You Should Know 

Foundation and Concealer

As for complexion products, most will last you for up to a year, though Cintron notes that most powder formulas can last you for up to two years. If your skin is sensitive or prone to blemishes, it’s especially important to keep up-to-date on your complexion products. Cleaning the makeup brushes you use to apply these products is also key for keeping any skin type at a lowered risk of irritation.

The longevity of concealer also depends on the consistency. Liquid concealers should be tossed after one year, but powder concealers are typically safe to use for up to two years. To figure out which texture will work best for your skin’s type and needs, check out our concealer guide.
