I know make-up only lasts so long before it can turn rancid. Does anyone know how long Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer lasts if unopened? I have tons of sample bottles of these, not opened yet and I'm wondering how long I can keep them before they go bad or expire. And say the full size product, once it's opened how long can I keep using it? 3 months? 6 months? A year? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I personally abide by the rule that unless it's

-funky smelling
-separating
-not working as well as it used to
-dried out

then I'll continue to use it. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use those if they're unopened. However, open one and see if it works the way it should. The original should be pale nude, then fade to clear when rubbed in (test on your hand) and then feel sort of smooth and dry.

Usually makeup starts going bad after you open it.
but if you keep it for years and years it will start to seperate and go bad but it usually will b years and years. but keep in mind makeup lines that are organic go bad sooner..
but you have a long time if you don't open it.

Lol Velen, I think you just need to write a book called "Velen's Life Rules"
