thats a good question!

Lipstick-1-2 years

Foundation-1 year

Eyeliner-6-12 months (It will last longer, but be sure to sharpen often to keep the tip clean.)

Eyeshadow-6-12 months

Mascara-3 months

Nail polish-6-12 months (You can tell by the color change when one goes bad.)

Um..i don't. I use all my make up till it runs out, no matter how long that takes. it never did me any harm. But, see when you take your mascara brush out of the tube, it pops? when it stops popping it's gone off and doesn't work so well, so i tend to replace it then. but my last mascara did me about 11 or 12 months. I wouldn't worry too much about it

well - sometimes it will get flaky, but most folks recommend pitching makeup annually and starting fresh because bacteria can begin to grow in the makeup
I'd recommend changing applicators frequently - you can buy those little sponge tipped applicators in packs of 10-12 really cheaply.
