Who still has..

Holding on to vintage makeup from 2016 and 2017 is something many beauty enthusiasts can relate to. Despite knowing that makeup products expire and can pose risks if used beyond their shelf life, the emotional attachment keeps these items close. Iconic products such as the Too Faced Chocolate Gold palette, cherished for its rich scent, and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Sugar Glow Kit, remembered as one of the first glow kits that started the highlighting trend, still bring back fond memories. I personally found it hard to part with some of my old favorites because of the memories they evoke and the unique shades or formulas that aren't easily found today. However, I learned to prioritize my skin's health by checking expiration dates and texture changes. For example, while the Too Faced Peach Perfect foundation was lightweight and smelled wonderful, it didn’t offer full coverage for me, but I kept it around for nostalgic reasons. If you’re a vintage makeup lover, consider repurposing expired products creatively — like using palettes for inspiration in creating new looks, or as collectibles. Just remember that safety comes first, especially with creams or liquids that can harbor bacteria. Sharing stories about these nostalgic products with fellow makeup fans can connect us all over the beauty trends that shaped our routines years ago. So, who else is still holding onto their beloved makeup from the mid-2010s? It’s a mix of sentiment and style that never goes out of vogue.
