when does my cosmetic expire
MAC Pigments. Contrary to popular belief, makeup does expire. MAC cosmetics are no exception. The majority of cosmetics expire in one year. However, there are certain cosmetics that expire in a few short months and certain cosmetics that last a lot longer than one year. The reason cosmetics have expiration dates is because over time bacteria builds up in them and when used they can cause infections, acne, and other nasty afflictions.
