Overcrowded drawers and toiletry bags that cannot be closed… Sounds familiar?! How many times have you not known where you left your eyebrow pencil, and you really need it at that moment? To avoid such and similar situations, it is important to keep your cosmetics, makeup and accessories at the same place at all times. With a good makeup organizer and correcting bad habits, your preferred products will always be easily available to you.
Good Organization Saves Time
Are you familiar with the sentence “I have nothing to wear?” It is the same with makeup as it is with the wardrobe. We all have it, but never enough. Most of us buy makeup without thinking about how we will later put all the products on the shelves, tables and drawers. Therefore, when we get ready to step out of the house, there is usually a real havoc about the mirror. Statistics show that the average person, during his life, spends about five months searching for lost things. To avoid wasting precious time looking for makeup and accessories, make an order in your beauty corner. A simple solution is a makeup organizer. Whether you keep makeup products in the bathroom, hallway or bedroom, the makeup organizer will fit nicely into any room and with any furniture.
How to Quickly and Easily Organize Makeup
If your makeup is mostly scattered on all sides, this job may take a little longer. That’s why we present you with a few basic steps to organize your makeup easier and faster.
1. Make Your Job Easier
The first step involves collecting complete makeup, cosmetics and tools in one place. We are sure that you will also find some forgotten (and beloved) beauty products. Put everything on the table, so that you can clearly see what you have and which collection you need to renew.
2. Discard Unusable Products
Then say goodbye to expired products. Makeup and cosmetics should be regularly checked and the dates written on the declaration checked. No matter how nice they look, expired products do not have a place on the shelf, but in a bin. Do not forget that creams and foundations are applied directly to the skin. That`s why it`s important to keep track of when it`s time to replace them with new ones. Also, discard damaged and broken products (e.g. lipsticks), used (semi) empty bottles and unusable makeup tools for disposal. Afterwards, make a list of the products you have selected, so that you know what you need to get when purchasing next time.
3. Classify Makeup by Category
Sort out the makeup according to the type and purpose, i.e. by categories. Our advice is to separate and group the following products:
- Skincare products (creams, serums…);
- Face makeup (primers, foundations, concealers, blushes;
- Lip makeup (lipsticks, lip glosses…);
- Eye makeup (mascaras, lashes, pencils and eye shadows;
- Work tools (makeup brushes, sponges, pencil sharpeners;
- Makeup removers.
4. Spotlight Your Beloved Products
After sorting out according to the described criteria, especially draw attention to makeup you use every day or very often, and the products that you use from time to time, or do not use at all. You should display the first group of products in a visible and easily accessible place, while you will be able to store other products in a toiletry bag or drawers.
5. Choose a Makeup Organizer
To dispose makeup products, avoid using boxes made of used packaging, because they are unstable. There is a much more convenient way to put away your favourite beauty products. Plastic makeup organizers are light, practical, do not take up much space and will not further weight the shelves, whilst transparent colours provide a better visibility. Depending on the amount of makeup you have, prepare the appropriate organizer, brush stand, toiletry bag and other tools for proper storage of makeup products. These accessories will ennoble your corner and bring a dose of elegance to the space.
Everything in Its Place
You can display face creams and other larger cosmetic products that you use every day on your own on the table or on the shelves. Put the products that you use less often in the toiletry bag and drawers, in order to load off the open surfaces of the furniture. A large makeup organizer has a dual purpose: it keeps all makeup products together, and at the same time it is suitable for use during applying makeup, because it contains a mirror. Openings of various dimensions are appropriate for storing an immense range of products and a larger packaging. You will be able to neatly arrange all foundations and concealers, setting powders, favourite blushes and bronzers as well as highlighters in glass bottles. After that, your desk will look well-kept and beautiful, and you will always know where to find face makeup.
Organize a Collection of Lipsticks as a Showcase
If you are one of those who has a rich collection of lipsticks, be sure to get an organizer for lipsticks and lip glosses. Arrange the products according to the colours and the final effect or according to the “preffered” criterion. A lipstick organizer with a mirror is very practical and will look effective in every corner of your living space.
Lip Pencils within Your Reach
Lip pencils are an indispensable makeup product today and are used by almost every woman. To avoid wasting time running through the toiletry bag and searching for a specific shade of pencil, use the organizer. The elegant heart-shaped brush holder can also be used to store other products, such as pencils. Slide them through the upper openings on the stand and insert them into the space provided. This very easy and practical solution allows a quick access to all pencils at any time. The stand will look very interesting if you fill it with lip pencils in all colours.
Eye Makeup Organizer
The group of eye makeup products is the most demanding to stack, because it is packed in different sizes and shapes of packaging. Therefore, you should use a large stand to sort out these products, or combine several smaller ones and a toiletry bag. A makeup organizer with several partitions of different sizes will be perfect for these products. Arrange mascaras and eyeliners in smaller openings, and place mono shadows and smaller eye shadow palettes in larger ones.
Arrange the Makeup Brushes
Makeup brushes should always be nicely sorted out and easily accessible. It is desirable that they are protected from the dust and cleaned regularly. There are multiple ways you can make order among makeup brushes, to look beautiful without taking up too much space.
A black brush case, that reminds of a mini suitcase, is a very elegant and decorative accessory for storing your favorite makeup tools. Thanks to the solid box with a closing system, it is suitable for travelling.
A stand for a precise separation of brushes with a thin handle can be a very effective addition to your makeup table. Our recommendation is to choose a round brush stand, in which you can precisely organize up to 12 brushes.
A plastic manicure box is intended for storing brushes of smaller dimensions. It is very practical, saves storage space and protects accessories from the dust. A transparent colour enables all-round visibility.
An elegant black roller brush case is very practical and can also be used to safely transport makeup accessories. You can close the case and thus protect your brushes, or divide it into two parts and fill both with the products.
A collapsible case-bag contains 21 brush compartments. It can be easily carried to trips, it looks nice as a detail on the shelf, and you can also put it in a drawer.
Do not Forget about Removing Makeup
A plastic organizer for cosmetics with two partitions and lids has multiple purposes. You can keep small makeup accessories and other things, such as tweezers in it.
Our suggestion is to fill a large container with makeup remover pads, because they must be protected from the dust. You can put makeup sponges or pencil sharpeners in a small bowl.
If you use several different cosmetic products to remove makeup, neatly put them in a toiletry bag of the appropriate size. If you only have one micellar water to remove makeup, you can also keep it on the table next to the cotton pad container. That way, it will always be in a visible place and you will not forget to take off your makeup before going to bed.
6. Find a Good Position for the Stand
The most important thing for makeup and cosmetics is to be in a dry place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. So, do not keep the organizer, stand and toiletry bag on the radiator, window or in too cold or warm and humid room. This way you will preserve the quality and durability of the makeup. Remember, inadequate storage of makeup products shortens their shelf life.
Once you have made a good arrangement among the makeup products, it is only important to maintain it regularly and not to disturb the order in your beauty corner.
The basic rule for bringing order to the makeup corner is: do not stockpile makeup and do not purchase products that you will not use. Regardless of the amount of cosmetic products you have, make sure that they are always well organized and clean. Orderly arranged makeup will beautify any space.
