I absolutely also use "expired" make-up. I don't think I'd be able to keep track of when I bought/ opened it to be honest. I just use it until I feel I shouldn't, or until it's empty/ dried out hehe xx ❤

[@hollypierce3076]

Me too!😂😂 I think the only people that throw out their make-up are people that got that kind of money to keep up with all the changing make-up trends

[@Yinniz]

unless the smell gets nasty i keep it

[@Brittaanaay]

The only person I’ve ever known who strictly sticks to the expiry dates is my stepmom and she’d never let an expired product touch her face 😂

[@ledwestward]

If there's a product I've not used often and I can't remember when I got it, I'll throw it out. Otherwise, if it works well, looks fine, and doesn't smell, why would I waste it?

[@GEGL10]

be careful with mascara! everything else I feel like is fine.

i also stop using it once a product starts to break me out. like my go to foundation/concealer never break me out until they expire and once i start to break out i usually say it’s time for you to go lmao

Same. I am lucky that I almost never break out (maybe a pimple or 2 a year) my skin don’t give a shit about expired makeup lol

[@Paperwing1]

My mom always did couponing and had over 45 bottles of foundation at one point. I took it to a womans shelter and they were very pleased to have it. I will never forget one woman told me, “even poor women like to look good.” Amen to that! She also said that when money is tight, even a $15 foundation is too much when that money needs to go to feeding your children.

[@KrystalMimms]

1000% true! There have been times in the past where i absolutely could not afford a $15 foundation....it would go in my gas tank instead. Drug store can be quite expensive as well unfortunately

[@christina8977]

[@caceysep16]

That’s hilarious, I hope she replies to this 😂

[@hunterhanna-yox7828]

I keep makeup until it’s gone or until it’s visually unappealing. I feel like we all do that. Makeup can get really expensive so I also find it hard to believe people throw away a whole eyeshadow pallet after the expiration date. Love your videos!!

[@saragreenfire4515]

Honestly, I'm pretty shure that ''shelf life'' is just a way compagines found to push us to trow away stuff and buy more of their products. Sure, I fully understand that a 10 years old lipstic probably should be trown away, but honestly, if I do not smell anything suspicious or if it still looks ok, I keep it. The only exception to me is stuff that could fall in my eyes, like mascara. The moment my eyes starts to water during the day while having a mascara on, it is sign that it is starting to get a bit to old. 1 year is pretty much the maximum for mascara.

[@MaryElizabeth30]

Makeup itself doesn’t technically expire. Just the solution that keeps bacteria from growing. And as long as you store in a dry environment (not in a bathroom) you don’t have to worry about bacteria growing, as quickly.

[@0n3c3nt]

Didn’t know this thanks

[@katty01]

I doubt bacteria can grow on sealed expired products, make-up chemicals are very toxic, no bacteria will grow in there while sealed.

[@lailawyllie8861]

That's not true. That's like most foods you could say it doesn't technically expire, it's the bacteria growing on the food that would make you sick and why you shouldn't eat it when it's expired. Oils and waxes which makeup alot of makeup will become rancid (expire), fragrances and fragrance oils expire, AND then there's the bacteria growth. Use expired makeup if you want at your own risk but don't tell people makeup doesn't expire.

[@hiwelcometochillis2579]

@@0n3c3nt Is not accurate, what expires could be many things even ingredients that supposed to make it look like a good finish, and the level of allergies that could make or the level of brake out acne or rash. So: The quality can expire The bacteria protection The sunblock The vitamins The way it feels on the skin The way it looks

[@hiwelcometochillis2579]

@@0n3c3nt also if molecules separate from the mix, that can cause toxic new ingredients. (For example if you make soap you need oil and ☣️ muriatic acid ☣️ that is toxic and can kill people and get Injury's, but if it's mixed with oil the molecules bond and change in harmless soap) But what if I'm some way the bonding is reversed and acid separate from oil? (As an example that could happen with non tested makeup, some ingredients can potentially separate and be toxic) not all... Of them, of course but there is some accidents around.

Don't feel bad, Mia.. I have makeup that's super old too. They still get the job done, I'm the only one wearing it, I've never had a bad reaction to them and I hardly wear makeup anyway, so I really don't see the point in throwing it out.

[@eviehasley5806]

I feel the need to clarify this- the expiration date is just a recommendation, its not necessarily THE EXACT DAY, and I mean- its not always right sOoOoOoOo yea 😊 great video Mia this was so fun lol. Low key miss the full face videos 😂

[@smji5269]

It's actually a legal requirement. Brands have to put an expiration date for them to sell legally. It's the best timeframe to use the product but you can still use it after that date.

[@michaelocampo9786]

Great video as always Mia! And this is going to sound super morbid but sometimes I think funeral home's makeup artists take donations of used and expired makeup (it's not like their clients are going to complain! lol) Or you could donate it to a women's shelter which they use for job interviews and such.

[@caroubaer]

Funeral homes actually use special make up that works on cold skin (because our regular make up is created to work with the warmth of our skin).

Bacteria doesn't thrive well in dry environments, so powders, like eyeshadow, blush and bronzers are fine to use even if they're decades old! Our parents did that and had no issues, they even have better skin! No health problems 🤔😄 But, mascaras and eyeliners that directly comes in contact so close to our eyes, we have to be careful of!! So maybe just toss those out every year and keep everything else?? 😂😂

I'm convinced the expiration date on make-up is just there to make you buy it again every year >.>

[@samanthastreeter4240]

Unless it’s noticeably separated or smells off, it does not matter to me. I love to collect makeup and I cannot possibly go through an entire eyeshadow palette in 6 months(which I know is on the back of some of my palettes). I use the makeup until I’m out and then I replace it. It is what it is.

[@kri1029sings]

I had a class to be a makeup pro artist, and honestly, powder products can be good for way longer than their expiration dates. Just spay a little bit of 99% alcohol on it a few times a year ( like 4 times is good), and bacteria wont be a problem. Cream products are the one to be bad for your skin after their expiration.

[@monkeytoes2001]

[@tarakennedy707]

The shelf life of makeup begins when it is exposed to air because that's when mold and bacteria can form. That's why there's no actual expiration date on them. It's not expired if it's not opened. It just separates if it sits for a long time.

[@breeswane]

What foundation do you use? You should do an updated every day makeup routine :)

[@Aya300]

I wanna know!!

[@naz1414]

Former Walgreens employee here. Seeing the same brands/item/shade makes me think these were former send backs. We would get emails about the specific items to pull off the shelf to send them back to the Walgreens distribution center. I am unsure what happens to them after that, but I feel like some of these items fall under a "send back". It was usually makeup that had requests, especially if we had leftover promo items (for example idk, wet n wild x SpongeBob collab). Since those have no place on the cosmetics shelf, they either got clearanced out or sent back. Id also see it happen when mid-year, we would have to take a line off the shelf (example, Loreal Lume foundation) so their new Loreal foundation could replace it on the shelf. I suspect the completely sealed items came from something like that!

[@laurenhammers7904]

We love you Mia!!! Thank for creating such wholesome and consistent content!!❤️

[@zareenrafa2409]

If I cared about makeup expiring, I would have to throw everything away without even finishing half of the products (cuz I use them rarely). So it feels great to have Mia by my side when whole internet just "ew"s over barely expired makeup products.Even if it's like 4 or 5 years old, I can use it just fine.

[@katyjordan6455]

[@stormyweather2773]

I only ever wear magnetic lashes , you need to let the eyeliner completely dry first though before adding the lashes ,this way they stay in place all day long ! They can take a little getting used to at first though as the magnets make them feel a little heavier than normal ‘glue’ type lashes xx

[@Punkinboo]

I’d love to get an updated makeup routine with your makeup faves

[@chloestephens5281]

As someone who works in a pharmacy, our makeup counter tends to get “renewed” every couple of months. Which typically means someone comes in to check the display and take off any items that aren’t up to date with the new display (e.g. summer display). These aren’t typically out of date, as it does still take a long time if the item is unopened. Where I work, we tend to reduce the items and sell them off at a reduced price separate to the makeup display. But I suppose bigger retailers see more profit if they sell it in bulk to liquidation companies. So don’t worry!! A lot of these items are in date and more than likely untouched!! ❤️

[@kaseyeditsstuff7385]

I’m someone who doesn’t get much money I’m disabled so I can’t go wild when buying things I don’t necessarily need so I definitely use makeup past when it’s supposed to be expired! Along with I just don’t wear makeup that often, I just smell stuff every now and then and look for mold and if there’s no weird smell or mold I consider it fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

A hack that i absolutely love lately! With cream products like blush, contour and highlight that separate your foundation when applied with the applicator straight to the face, try to put some on your hand, and then using a wet sponge take some from your hand and apply to the face! Saves the foundation ❣❣❣

[@lexy2642]

Makeup is EXPENSIVE. No way I’m throwing something out after a few months! Hahaha

The expiry date on a product is from the date its opened so you'll be ok with these products if the seal is still on them. I also use expired products. At the end of the day they're only being used on my face so it's only my natural bacteria on it. Unless it smells or looks weird, I will use it. Great videos Mia xxx

I’m 60 years old. The only products I would have concern using if they were expired are mascara and lipstick. But not the timeline they say.

Makeup doesn't start to expire before after opening and using it. They have an "expired date" on them which looks like a little can with a number and an M which indicates how long you should keep your makeup after using it (Eg. 12M = 12 months). No matter how your makeup smelled, if they were unopened, there is no way they could have expired. Love your videos!

[@kaylachandler1967]

[@Anthonyeatspoo]

It would be interesting to see another video comparing these same products but buying them brand new to see if they behave or smell any differently! Also Falscara is so good! No lifting, no irritation, they stay all day, and are easy to apply and remove. You just put on the first step like mascara, stick the lash pieces under the lash, and put on the second step like mascara. With lash strips I always get lifting in the inner corner, and the lashes and glue irritate my eyes and cause redness and puffiness, but Falscara didn’t cause any of that. It looked really good, no lash band and they don’t look at all like they’re glued to the underside. They felt super light all day and stayed perfectly in place, and when I removed them at the end of the day I just used a cotton pad and eye makeup remover and gently removed them. I see myself reaching for this instead of strip lashes going forward. It’s worth a try!

[@c9828413]

I used an eyeshadow quad that my mum bought in the 70's just the other day, I liked a couple of the colours and can't find them anywhere else, I'm fine, I use expired make up all the time.

The Sally legs I actually use as my liquid bronzer! Because it doesn't have that bad tan smell and doesn't stain your hands! It's also excellent for arms and definitely legs when you're in a 4 season state and you're not tan yet! Its my mom's and my makeup secret! We use the lightest one and it's a perfect tan look.

Mia: "That smells expired" Then there's me sitting watching this video with a freshly washed face 😂

just looked at Mia's guide for how long you should use each makeup product for and my mascara is wayyyyyy more than three months old. lol. Mia and all my girls in the comment section you're NOT alone!

Honestly, in cosmetics, shelf life and expiry dates are mostly given because that’s the time period some ingredients start to degrade. And it pushes people to buy new stuff more regularly, let’s be honest. Powder products like face powders, eyeshadows, etc can be used way beyond the recommended duration, because these are pretty stable products. When they get really old they usually develop “hard pan” (hardening of the product, weird grainy pattern on the top), which can be scraped off. They’re easily sanitized however. Foundation and concealers and similar cream products will let you know when they’re going bad : colour oxydation, product separation, drying out, weird smells are easy signs to detect. Where i wouldn’t take much risks however are with mascaras and eyeliners, because that’s very close contact to the eyeball, and i refuse to risk an eye infection for 15min of beauty. If they’ve been opened for a while or stayed unused, i’ll chuck it out with no qualms.

I’ve always used my “expired” make up. Damn I’ve been using the same items for maybe 3-4 years.. I ain’t throwing out stuff just because it’s “expired” I’ve got the same velvet teddy mac lipstick from like 3 years ago.. it’s still good!😂

The best make-up tip that I have ever received is to put mascara on your bottom lashes first. That way, you don't smear the upper ones while trying to get to the bottom ones. ...and to make you feel better, expiration dates on make-up means nothing to me! Looking as beautiful as ever!

The elf primer and the covergirl lash blast clean mascara are in my daily makeup. I have very reactive skin and the elf primer has tea tree oil which for some reason helps my skin not get crazy. Also helps me use less foundation. The marcara is one of the only ones that doesn’t make my eyes burn. So imma not question it and just use what works for me. I totally recommend them tho.

If you’re wondering where to donate the makeup you won’t use, women’s shelters/domestic abuse programs are usually open to taking them. If there’s orgs locally that help support people finding jobs, they usually are aware of places you can donate makeup (usually the same orgs that will help people with outfits/suits for job interviews).
