I change my makeup depending on the type of product it is and how good it is. You should NEVER keep the same mascara, eyeliner, foundation, etc.for more than 1 year. (If it even lasts that long) I change my makeup at least every 6-7 months. Remember though it's varied depending on products.

I always change mascaras every 3 months and I only use 1 foundation at a time so it only lasts a couple months.

Most products will tell somewhere on them how long before you throw them out. There is also paying attention to a change in smell and texture. Here is an article that might help you a little...
