Old Cosmetics Needed

Hello, we are Yeeun Min and Minji Kim (G9) from Cosmetic Art Team (CAT) of Service as Action.

The main focus of our project is to recycle the cosmetics that you don’t use anymore. We are going to create usable items through a painting and drawing using cosmetics that you have donated to us.

WE NEED COSMETICS! We would be grateful if you can bring us any cosmetics that you don’t use anymore. Please drop them off in the box outside D229.

Required: Blush, lipstick, lipliner, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, eyeshadow, mascara, etc.

Not Required: Suncream, face cream, moisturizers, etc.

We are looking forward to your kind donation😊

Best Regards,
