Mascare usually lasts about 2-3 months (if closed good) then it will dry out. The same thing is with liquid eyeliner.
Any product can last a lifetime, but it doesn't mean it's good for you. Foundation (if not used regularly but sometimes) should be definitely replaced within one year.
Any liquidy shadow should be also replaced within one year max...
If it's powdered, it can stay longer. However, foundation is crucial to have it refreshed because of your pores.. You don't want them infected. Try to change it regularly (every six months max). O and if it's cheap products like from a dollar store (Which I don't recommend) you should do it sooner because they are already kinda bad when you get them.
P.S. Usually makeup artists say within three months, but it's not necessarily accurate for everyone.
Good Luck!

Replace after: Three months to two years
Why: Microbe growth in makeup can cause skin irritations and infections, explains Paula Begoun, author of "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." The worst offenders are liquid cosmetics, which build up bacteria more quickly. Keep mascara for a maximum of three months; other liquids and creams (eyeliner, foundation) for no more than a year. Powders (eyeshadow, blush) can be used safely for up to two years.

I guess it depends on how often you use them. With mascara I would throw it away after about 4 to 6 months...because of bacteria that can breed in it. you dint want a eye infection, and never use another persons mascara...your other beauty products should last awhile....but like i said it is how often you use them...

mascar and eyeliner you should throw out every six weeks even if it still seems fine. Especially mascara because bacteria grows inside of the tube and you can get an eye infection. Other products until they change smell, texture or color they are ok.
