I think any emollient product has a definite shelf-life whether or not you open it, but I would suppose opening it would shorten it. I have lipstick and concealer backups in the fridge, in the hopes that it will extend the life of the product. Honestly, though, I don't get too caught up in expiration dates for cosmetics. I toss it if it smells gross or isn't performing properly. Most of my LE backups are powder products so I am not at all worried.
