There’s no better time than now to organize your life and your makeup. You can no longer throw all your makeup in a drawer or bag. This is a waste of time and you won’t be able to find your favorite products. Imagine how much easier it will be to get ready if you have your lip colors, eye makeup, and face makeup organized. It would be great if you could do that. You don’t even need to create your own organizers. We have compiled our top 10 makeup storage ideas, including a few DIYs, and are sharing them here. We have you covered, whether you like the acrylic makeup organizers that you see on YouTube or Pinterest, or prefer to store your products in a drawer.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEAS #1: USE A ACRYLIC MAKEUP ORGANIZER
Clear makeup organizers are one of the most attractive and visually appealing ways to organize your makeup collection. They come in many sizes and have pre-determined compartment sizes to fit all your makeup needs. You can store lipsticks like the L’Oreal Paris Pro-Matte les Macarons Scented Lipstick. Larger spaces are available for foundation and primer.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDE #2: UPCYCLE CANDLES
Do you remember that candle you paid way too much for, just to get the chic jar? While it was cute on your coffee table for a few months, it doesn’t look as good once it’s gone. You don’t have fancy schmancy candles to throw out once they reach the bottom. Old candles can be given a second chance by being cleaned out and turned into a DIY makeup organizer. After removing any wax residue from the containers, give them a thorough scrub. Then, you can use the containers to store your makeup brushes, eyeliners and mascaras. You can store anything that is tall or thin! You will love your storage, and thank you for recycling.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEA #3: REPURPOSE OPEN OFFICE SUPPLIES
You may have noticed that many of the office supplies you own remind you of makeup organizers if you’ve made your desk into a vanity. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on makeup organizers, but you can use desk-specific products. Are you familiar with a file organizer that organizes folders and papers. You can use it to store makeup palettes such as the L’Oreal Paris Paradise Enchanted Scented Eyeshadow Palette. Do you have a pencil cup that is shabby? Spray paint the cup and then put your lipsticks inside, such as the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lip Liner. There are so many options.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEAS #4: KEEP CLUTTER AWAY FROM SIGHT
Acrylic makeup organizers are a fad, but they may not be right for you if you tend to make messes. You’ll be glad you chose storage that can hide your mess if you find things get messy quickly after organizing. You don’t have to store makeup in clear acrylic drawers or on open shelves. Instead, you can keep everything in drawers and boxes that aren’t visible.
Having said that, drawers do not have to be messy. Makeup drawer organizers are a great solution. There are many options: You can purchase dividers for your drawers, make your own or recycle small boxes from jewelry and subscription services. This will make it easy to organize your clutter.
MAKE IT MAGNETIC: MAKE UP STORAGE IDEA #5
Magnets can be used for more than just securing holiday cards and photos on your fridge. You can use them to store your makeup! Magnetic boards can be used to keep your makeup safe and secure. A metal pan can be covered with the trendy fabric you choose to DIY your own board. After you’ve found your magnetic surface, hung it up and finished your makeup, you can add magnets to your back. You can also use it with smaller items like the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Shimmer Lipstick and L’Oreal Paris Full Wear Concealer Waterproof. Once you are ready to use your products you can simply pull them off the board and then stick them back.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEA #6: CONDENSE YO COLLECTION
Sometimes you will love a product but not its packaging. It may seem wrong to give up your favorite products to get rid of the bulky packaging. But what can a gal who wants to save space do? You don’t have to throw away your lipsticks and eye shadows. Instead, keep the packaging. Yes, it’s possible! To store empty palettes, you can buy them.
Editor’s Tip:This tip is great for saving broken products. It’s no longer necessary to try and apply lipsticks that have been cut in half. You’ll be able to reduce the space required for your makeup collection and the palettes that you have with you will be able to use them when you’re on-the-go.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEA #7: STOW TESTS IN YOUR TRAVEL BAGG
It’s likely that every makeup enthusiast has a collection of makeup products that they can’t seem to part with. It’s time to get out of your comfort zone if that is you. You can throw away any samples that you don’t want to try and put all your other samples in a makeup bag. Keep the makeup bag in your luggage. This will remind you to use the small products that you may not have otherwise.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEA #8: TRY A OVER-THE HOUSE ORGANIZER
You know those over-the-door organizers that you see people using to organize their jewelry? These organizers can be used to organize and keep your makeup neatly hidden away. These are great options if you have limited space or don’t want all your makeup products on display.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEA #9: USE A CUPAKE STAND
Cupcake stands can be used for more than just displaying sweet treats. You can use them to display your favorite makeup products. Each shelf can be used for a different product. You can separate by lip, eye, or face makeup. For face makeup such as L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation (or any other type), we recommend that you use the bottom shelf. Then, follow the same procedure with your eyes and lips.
MAKEUP STORAGE IDEAS #10: PULLOUT THE DRAWERS
A makeup organizer is a great way to organize your makeup collection. You don’t even have to buy one made for makeup. You can simply grab a small drawer set that will fit comfortably on your desk, or on your vanity, and then fill it with products. A clear makeup drawer organizer is a great idea.
