Using old cosmetics can be unsafe.  Contaminated cosmetics can cause certain types of infection and should be disposed of and replaced.

Research done in the UK found that less than 29 percent of women dispose of old makeup when it becomes discoloured or passes the expiration date.

A beauty analyst for the research firm Alexandra Richmond stated that cosmetics like eyelash mascara and eyeliner can increase the chance of an eye infection, and should be disposed of just like old food.  She went on to say that “Like food, cosmetics can expire and become dangerous to use.  There may be far more lurking at the bottom of your makeup bag than old dried up mascara”.
