Is there a general guideline for when you should throw out eye shadow? Even if you don't use it that much?

Any makeup...especially eye makeup should be discarded after 6 months. Bacteria can get into it...especially mascara and cause eye infections. It's not worth the risk to keep it longer.

One year, unless it starts to change color....that's what I've always been told. Or if you get an eye infection.
I've also been told that they are full of bacteria, so clean your brushes often, and don't share eye make-up with friends.
Hope that helps!

I continue to use mine for 3 months.. It really depends on which brand you use cause I use Smashbox from Sephora and they said it goes long.
