Your makeup has a shelf life. Pouché remembers it so you don't have to. Most of us are wearing at least one product that expired months ago — mascara only lasts 3 months once opened, liquid eyeliner 6, foundation about a year. Pouché is a clean, calm home for your makeup bag that tracks every product's Period After Opening and tells you exactly when it's time to replace it. ADD PRODUCTS IN SECONDS Point your camera at any product and Pouché's AI identifies the brand, product name, category, and shade — then fills in the shelf life automatically. Confirm, tweak if needed, done. Your first 10 scans are free, enough to get your whole bag in. Prefer typing? Manual entry is always free and unlimited. KNOW WHAT'S FRESH AT A GLANCE Your bag is organized by category with clear status badges: fresh, expiring soon, expired. No spreadsheet, no guessing, no sniff test. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU One gentle heads-up 30 days before a product expires, a reorder nudge in time to replace it, and a note on the day itself. Everything is a local notification on your device — no spam, no marketing pings, no account emails.

Discover skincare and makeup routines from people with skin, concerns, and goals similar to your own.
