How To Donate Your Make-Up


We accept “dry” colour cosmetics in any condition. Eyeshadow palettes, powders and compacts with blushers or highlighters are perfect. Expired makeup is more than welcome.

Please avoid sending makeup in tubes or pencils and please no nail varnishes as we currently have no way to recycle these. We will continue to research ways to effectively upcycle makeup to help curb cosmetic waste.

Simply wrap your makeup into a package and head to your local post office using the address provided here on the front. Alternatively, head to a local drop-off point or reach out to us to see if we can set one up for you in your area.
