Best Tips for Organizing Your Makeup

Since everyone's makeup stash is different, there are a few things you should look for in a makeup organizer that best suits your needs. But how exactly should you tackle organizing your makeup? Here are some top tips to help clear the counter clutter!

Think vertically. When shopping for makeup organizers, opt for taller products with stackable inserts and bins or pull-out drawers.

Go clear. Acrylic and plastic makeup organizers make it easier to see what's stored in each compartment.

Pick a spot. Place the makeup organizer in an easy-to-reach area like on top of a dresser and items you rarely use on an upper cabinet or shelf.

Declutter. Sort by category — keep, move to a different room, donate, recycle, and trash — to determine where you want a product to live in your home. If you love an unexpired makeup product, place it in your keep pile.

Organize. After finalizing your keep pile, group together similar items like foundations, setting powders, and lip-plumping glosses. Following this step will help streamline your makeup routine and save you time rummaging through your drawers for a mascara or eyeshadow primer.

Maintenance. Keep an inventory of your current products to avoid impulse purchases and end up with more than you need or can store.

Now that you're armed with expert-approved guidance, it's time to finally declutter your beauty collection and store your current favorites in a makeup organizer. Look for products that fit the space as well as your items. Say goodbye to piles of eyebrow pencils and lipsticks rolling across your vanity and say hello to easy routines!
