Hi Sandra,

I was just wondering what the shelf life of your mineral makeup is.  I've had a few foundation colors for a couple of years now because I only use them occasionally.  I'm also curious about your eye and blush makeup. Like other makeup, is there a time when you should throw them out and start again? 

Also, I love the Sugar Baby eye color, but I don't see it listed anymore.  Is there another shade you would recommend to replace it?

Thanks so much.

Sue

I would suggest to use them within 1 to 2 years. Although alot of companies or products say they never expire because they do not inhibit the growth of bacteria - Once they are opened they can be contaminated with brushes or using fingers to apply. Products with cornstarch such as the Pearl dust should definitely be used within 1 year. Cornstarch is vegetable derived so it can grow bacteria after a long period of time.
Any makeup that changes in color or takes on a smell should be thrown out.. and always as a rule - if in doubt, better to throw it out!

Try the Dainty or the Blizzard in place of the sugar baby.
