Hourglass FAQ
Do Hourglass powders expire like mascara?
No. Mascara has stricter PAO and applicator hygiene needs, while powders depend more on clean tools and dry surfaces.
Can a batch result authenticate Hourglass?
No. It cannot replace seller provenance, matching package details, print quality, construction, or examination of the makeup.
