Look on the packaging or under the bottle and find an image of a little open jar with a number and an M beside it. This will tell you the product's shelf life after its first use.

For example 12M is 12 months

It does. Foundation is normally 12 to 24 months. Powders last the longest amount of time from what I've seen.

Best trick I've learned so far from an artist at the Bobbi brown counter - pop your liquid foundation in the fridge to store it for as long as you want without having bacteria grow in it. It's perfect for storing your darker winter foundation or vice versa!

Yes it does also on the bottle it may have a picture on the side of a jar with the lid open and inside it will say something like 12m for twelve months

Oh wow. Thanks for the info ladies! I will try the fridge method to store the foundations that I'm not using.
