  • Pencils - 1-2 years.
  • Shadows, powder, blush - 3 years.
  • Mascara - 3 months.

Foreign manufacturers (Pupa, Artdeco, Bourjois, Maybelline, MaxFactor and others) instead of the expiration date often use the batch code, by which you can find the expiration date by driving it into the online calculator. It can contain from 2 to 10 latin letters and numbers.
