How long can you keep liquid eyeliner?

I just found two Lancome Artliners in the back of my drawers, that I have used maybe once og twice and then forgotten all about. They could be maybe 3 years old. Maybe 4.

Is it still ok to use them? They seem ok.

I personally wouldn't risk it. Sure they might still go on smooth and nice and all, but you never know if bacteria had entered the tube that first or second time you used it...and if bacteria did get into there, it's been hanging out in there for a while.
