Tips on recycling

Some of us are notoriously fickle about makeup, but rather than throw out that barely touched bronzer, Melo spa manager Nichola Roche has a few handy tips on how to update your old make-up.

Eye shadow

Highlighters that usually go on the brows and lids can also be used to illuminate the top of cheekbones, shoulders and neck bones. Eye shadow in soft pinks or browns can be used on lips for those who like a matte look, with a touch of highlighter shadow in the middle of the bottom lip for the illusion of a pout.

Facial bronzers

Bronzers can work very well as eye shadow. Lightly sweep it across the eyelids for a natural look, or layer up for a glam, evening look.
