Hi @NikkyMangat! I’m a lipstick addict whose hoard includes some bullets (by MAC and other brands) that are 10+ years old. I occasionally spot-check my lipsticks for spoilage. A telltale sign is smell: most bullets contain waxes and/or oils; when they smell wrong/“off,” I stop using them. 

To be 100% safe, you should follow the expiration timeframe printed on your lipstick packaging. It’s usually 12-24 months after the date you open the lipstick. Also, storing your lipstick in a cool low-humidity place will help keep ‘em from spoiling.
