You should replace mascara every 3 months to avoid eye infections. Liquid and cream makeup has a shorter shelf life than powder makeup. If you keep all of your makeup away from heat, humidity and sunlight you can perserve them for longer. If your makeup starts to smell bad or if the color separates or changes throw it out.

"...it is generally best to toss out cosmetics placed near the eye (like mascara) after four to six months, and to dispose of face products (moisturizers, foundations) after one to two years. Powder-based products should be discarded after 2-3 years. The usage time for eye-area cosmetics is more limited than for other products. Because of microbial exposure and the risk of eye infections, some industry experts recommend replacing mascara every three months."

You should dispose every 6-10 months unless it looks and feels fresh still
