KEEP YOUR COSMETICS FRESH!

KEEP YOUR COSMETICS FRESH!

We strive to ensure Eventmakers has the Best products in the industry!
The FDA approves every formula we use and adhere to stringent processes.
It is important to follow appropriate guidelines for the expiration of
your Eventmakers Cosmetics. Our recommendations: *Mascara and liquid eye liner: 3 months. Get a new one every season and
toss even sooner if it's dried out or if you've had an eye infection. *Liquid foundation and concealer: 6 months to 1 year *Powder-based cosmetics (e.g., eyeshadows and powder foundation):
12 months.
*Lipsticks and Glosses: 1 to 2 years. If you've had a cold sore, toss
your lip products sooner. *Eye and lip pencils: 1 to 2 years. Sharpen before use to preserve them. There are no regulations or requirements under current United States law
that require cosmetic manufacturers to print expiration dates on the
labels of cosmetic products. Manufacturers have the responsibility to
determine shelf life for products, as part of their responsibility to
substantiate product safety. FDA believes that failure to do so may
cause a product to be adulterated or misbranded. The shelf life for eye-area cosmetics is more limited than for other
products. Because of repeated microbial exposure during use by the
consumer and the risk of eye infections, manufacturers usually
recommend discarding mascara two to four months after purchase. If
mascara becomes dry, discard it. Do not add water or, even worse, saliva
to moisten it, because that will introduce bacteria into the product.
If you have an eye infection, consult a physician immediately, stop using
all eye-area cosmetics, and discard those you were using when the
infection occurred. Consumers should be aware that expiration dates are simply "rules of
thumb," and that a product's safety may expire long before the
expiration date if the product has not been properly stored. Cosmetics
that have been improperly stored - for example, exposed to high
temperatures or sunlight, or opened and examined by consumers prior to
final sale - may deteriorate substantially before the expiration date.
On the other hand, products stored under ideal conditions may be
acceptable long after the expiration date has been reached. Please also note sharing makeup increases the risk of contamination. www.fda.gov
