What is the shelf life of unopened cosmetics?

I know the details of the shelf life of certain makeup products that you have already used. But, say you stock up on items because it is on sale. Is the shelf life the same? Or can you keep it longer since it is unused and unopened?What is the shelf life of unopened cosmetics?
The shelf life starts from the time you open the cosmetics in most cases till any specific expiry date is not mentioned.What is the shelf life of unopened cosmetics?
