The main imperative to use makeup in optimal conditions is to pay special attention at time of purchase and especially during the first use. For your convenience, the best is yet to note the exact date somewhere where you started your makeup. On most packages, you will find a symbol representing an open jar and a number followed by the letter m (for "months"). This is the period during which it is advisable to use the cosmetics once it is opened.
Beyond the date: what risks?
That said, do not worry: if the cosmetic is used beyond its limits, the consequences are not significant, even if they may sometimes be embarrassing.Makeup products are never obsolete but the point of harming their action, their creaminess and flavor deteriorate over time. The two key problems manifest themselves at risk of allergy and reduced efficacy.
To give you an idea: mascara, eyeliner and lipstick take about a year. The nail polish can be stored for two years, the foundation can be used one year (or two if they are carefully preserved), powders and pencils four years even longer?
To keep your products, close them properly, store them away from light and keep them away from any heat source. Also make sure they have not changed in consistency, color or smell (if that is the case, get rid of them, they are probably long since expired).

Some precautions
To limit the proliferation of bacteria in makeup, do not forget to clean and disinfect your accessories like brushes and puffs (washing with soap and water is usually sufficient).
Finally, the risk of sounding selfish, do not pay your makeup failing to inherit little from other microbes. This advice applies especially to mascaras and other products placed near the eyes (conjunctivitis risk, etc..) As well as for lipstick (risk of herpes, etc.)..
