You shouldn't used expired make-up on your skin. It'll probably be discolored and it can make you break out even more.

That's why I'd like to get new stuff

Ooooo, I thought you were looking for tips on using what you have! My bad :)

Yup, I know it's older and I'm sure there's probably much better stuff out there. I just don't want to pay $50 for a tube if a $10 one works just as well! I know some makeup you get what you pay for, and some the cheaper options work just fine. Like cheap eyepencils are terrible, but maybelline mascara's great.

Gotcha! Totally. I just recently had this conversation with my sister, and my brain was like, "Don't let her put old stuff on her lovely face!" And then I missed like, the whole point of your question. (Sorry again!)

Haha, true that. Though personally, I don't like their Great Lash mascara anymore. I still love their Colossal Cat Eyes stuff though.

Honestly, I'm someone who likes the luxury of pricey makeup, but everything I've seen tells me that when it comes to foundation, how you apply it is way more important than which brand you use. Basically, rule number one is to use a beauty sponge or a brush - not your fingers.

Rule number two is that setting liquid foundation will make it last way better, especially if your skin is oily and/or you have fine lines and wrinkles.

Also, a lot of people swear by a primer. They make them for all skin types and at a range of price points. I don't use one myself, but that's only because I use a serum and a moisturizing sunscreen, so I feel like adding a primer over all of that would be one layer too many. Maybe I'm missing out, though, who knows.

With foundation in particular, because of how much of your skin will be exposed to it, I might be a bit wary of using it if it's more than a couple of years old. However, for the most part, in my experience/opinion, the alleged expiration date on 99% of makeup is complete bullshit.

Not saying you should use a lipstick from the 80s, or an eight-year-old mascara. But I keep my makeup products until they're used up, or until they dry up, and I have never had a single skin or eye problem occur from doing so.

ETA: Oh, who am I kidding. I would use a four-year-old foundation without blinking, if it still seemed good. Lol.

I would still at least plan to get a new one at that point, though - which, fancy that, is what you're already doing! Good thinking! :)
