    All makeup goes off, but personally I never throw any of it away unless it starts to smell really weird. The only exception to this is mascara, especially if you have tendency to suffer from eye infections. I don't get eye infections so I also ignore this, so it usually only gets thrown away when it's dried out. I still have a couple of lipsticks that my mum gave me years ago that are probably about 20 years old - they still smell fine, and work fine so I wouldn't dream of throwing them out.

  • I have 1, it's a liquid one.

    yes, lipstick goes off. It's a lovely, moist home for bacteria because of the water in it. Maximum life is 2 years.

    for other make- up : liquid foundation - 6 months
    mascara - 3 months
    powder foundation - 2 years
    liquid eyeliner - 3 months
    pencil eyeliner - 2 years
    cream eyeshadows - 6 months
    powder eyeshadow - 2 years

    Me too, just one and when it's done I pop the bottom off so it lasts another week or so :D

    I change shades every time I buy a new one but they never look that different - I must be drawn certain colours :o

    It's waaay too expensive to have more than 2 on the go :)
