Is this make up still good?

[fryjack2]

I rarely wear anything other than eye liner and mascara. I bought bare essentials bare minerals starter kit ( primer, mineral veil, powder foundation? warmth i think is blush? and powder concealer) 4.5 years ago to use for my wedding make up.

Is it still ok to use? I only really use the warmth blush thing because I end up with a rash when i use the rest. I should throw it out right?

Why would you keep make-up that gives you a rash?

It gave you a rash. Toss.

Honestly, I'd probably use it. I wouldn't use old eye products (because, ew!), lip stuff, or anything creamy though.

The blush part doesnt usually. Its the other parts. I have really sensitive skin. All make up Ive ever used has given me a rash. I use it maybe once a year when i feel like I want to try to wear make up. It is the least irritating brand that I have tried and the rash goes away a little while after I wash it off. Sometimes I just deal with it for a night. Just wasn't sure if it goes bad.

There are plenty of other options....you have no reason to keep it. Try another brand that is non irritating. BM is not the only MU brand that is natural, and they really aren't that natural at all. Beautypedia.com allows you to search products by issue....you can search based on sensitive skin.

Thanks for that website! For future reference, how long is mineral make up good for? Or does it depend on the brand?

I don't follow the "rules", I say good as long as it smells fine (and isn't giving your skin a reaction!). Powder is likely to last much longer than liquid.

You can order reasonable samples from Everyday Minerals if you want to try some other ones, theirs was good in my experience.
