You're probably using expired make up

Ya smear it all over your face, body and in your hair, but is it really safe to?

Cosmetics actually have a used-by-date, just like food, and a new report has found that almost all of our beauty buys are deemed out-of-date within six months of opening them.

And for those that prefer their products to be natural and organic may find that the formulas expire even quicker. 

So how do we know if our makeup has expired? Here's an easy guide:
