1. Get rid of clumpy mascara, foundation that has separated, cloudy perfume.
2. Dried mascara can’t be revived. Adding a drop of water will almost surely result in raccoon eyes.
3. Keep cosmetics out of the bathroom; heat and humidity decrease their shelf life.
4. Read — and heed — expiration labels.
5. Buy small jars and bottles to maintain freshness.
6. Blush tends to last longer than other color cosmetics, especially powder formulas.
7. Eyeliner pencils stay fresh because each time they’re sharpened, you expose a new layer.
8. Makeup sponges are supposed to be disposable. Buy cheap ones and change often so you don’t introduce bacteria from the face into the makeup.
9. Since lipstick contains very little water, bacteria grows slowly, but toss after 18 months.
10. To kill bacteria on lipstick, lip-liners and eyeliners, dip the tip in alcohol for about 20 seconds and let dry.
