Does anyone know a typical expiration date for smaller Colourpop eye shadow palettes?
Typically eyeshadow doesn’t expire for years (depending on how you store it and the humidity). I know people with 10 year old palettes that are still fine. I don’t think you have to worry about it unless you notice something off about it (texture, smell, mold, etc).

The expiration date is normally listed on the back of the palette. There should be some logo/symbol with a number inside of it. I find most eyeshadow palettes expire after 12 months, but most usually last much longer. I think it’s just mandatory that they have an expiration date (at least in the USA?).
