I read in a magazine that you should throw away eyeshadow powders after two to three years, why? Just curious.. any good reasons? any experts out there?

because it gets old and nasty

i don think you should my sis's fav eyeshadow is five years old they dont make the color any more and its fine on her

it get all loose and dosnt work as long















































or they want you to but more or there product!

Because it get's old and bacteria starts to grow.

Bacteria can form in the powder, because you touch the powder, then your eye, then the powder again, and so on. Oil from your skin gets in the powder, and bacteria can form. These bacteria can cause damage to your eyes.































Also, realistically, after two to three years, styles change. Frost or metallic eyeshadow comes and goes, color combos change, etc. Changing eyeshadows at least this often has the added benefit of ensuring that the look you're using isn't dated.
