(I started this topic)

I bought two bottles of foundation,one I'm using now. Then I saw a sale on mineral foundation I wanted to try. My question is how long will an unopened bottle of foundation last?

oil free foundation 12 months. oil free ones have the shortest shelf life because they tend to dry out quicker than other types.

Well if it is unopened, a water based should last up to 12 months and an oil based up to 18 months, http://beauty.about.com/od/makeuptrickstips/a/shelflife.htm, you can view my web page at htttp://www.naloinc.com

You want to look for separation in the bottle if it is a liquid. Keep it in a cool dry place and it should last you longer than you think. Also, watch out for the smell of a product since that will also signal that it is bad.
