Q: Eye Makeup Bacteria

Makeup bags contain products that are used often and can become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Dermatologists say a messy makeup kit can lead to infection, allergic reaction, and even acne. Does anyone here knows how long is the life of the makeup? I've heard that the mascara can last 3 to 6 months max.
