Check most women\u2019s bathroom drawers or countertops and you\u2019re sure to find a variety of makeup products, some new and some a little old. It\u2019s tempting to hold on to makeup, it oftentimes isn\u2019t cheap and it can seem like a waste to throw out seemingly good products.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, old makeup can be a problem, not only does it clutter up drawers, it can lose its effectiveness, not be as flattering and can even cause skin irritation. So, how do you know when its time to throw out makeup?
