The only things I am concerned with are mascara and sunscreen.  I don't wear mascara often so I end up tossing new or newly new tubes after just a couple of months.  As for sunscreen, I try to find a date on the bottle and tube and replace every summer season.

As long as powders aren’t moldy and smelly and perform as usual I keep using them. I have several mascara tubes open at one time so I try to use them at least a year before tossing them. I rotate them so they aren’t used every day. I also don’t wear makeup every day.

The only thing I throw out is mascara and sunscreen.  Everything else I'll keep for a very long time unless something smells off.
