What are recycled make-ups?

Recycled make-ups are the unexpired make-ups like foundation and lipstick which were accidentally broken down into pieces and restored again so that it can still be used. Hygienically, make-ups should have at least 1 year expiration date, but some brands claim to have at least 2-3 years, so better check your brands before using them for more than a year. But I heard, mascara have only 3-6 months life expectancy, and beyond that they usually curdle up into thick masses of black-like charcoals.

I also heard heard from a fashion guro before, that lipsticks are the most delicate make-ups because they are in direct contact with our body parts which is the lips, and are more prone to bacterias, while make-ups which are being used with brushes are safer, as long as the brushes are regularly washed.

So if by chance some of your lip sticks were broken or you have left-over foundations and face powders here are some helpful tips for you.
