If you love makeup, then you may have tons of it hanging around your home. Or perhaps, you have a select few but super expensive makeup that needs exceptional care. Either way, you might find yourself organising and reorganising your stash from time to time. And here’s where things get tricky.
Makeup organisation is a difficult task. You want to keep them such that they are safe and secure yet you want them to be accessible. Not to mention, makeup comes in various categories, from skincare to haircare, what is the best way to keep them organised?
Do such questions and the constant worry of striking the perfect balance keep you up at night? Then you’ve come to the right spot! We share all the tricks and tips you need for organised makeup.
So, let’s get started!
Guide to Organising Makeup: A Quick Checklist
Here are some practical and useful tips for how to organise makeup in wardrobes and other similar spaces:
Get Drawer Organisers
Drawer organisers are super effective in demarcating areas within your drawers. Plus, they are modular so you can always change the layout at will. As a result, you can effortlessly group items within the drawer according to product types, size, or shape.
In addition to the physical separation, drawer organisers also prevent items from rolling around and getting mixed up with others. Some drawer organisers allow you to stack items vertically, which is far more space-efficient than laying items flat inside drawers.
Purchase Clear Boxes
Clear tubs are highly versatile organisers, be it for clothes, toys, and beyond. So, why shouldn’t they be used for organised makeup as well? You can use the airlock kind to seal the products from external elements like moisture and humidity, while also being able to keep an eye on what’s inside. As such, even if you are in a hurry, you do not have to open box after box to find what you need and only scan for what you want and access the appropriate box.
Buy a Shower Caddy
From storing your shampoos, body washes, and moisturisers to housing bottles of nail polish or lipstick tubes – there is nothing that a shower caddy cannot hold. You could then hang the caddy in your bathroom, inside the wardrobe, behind the door, or any other spot where you would typically use these products.
It will maximise your space utilisation and is an inexpensive fix for organising makeup. Plus, they come in various styles, shapes, sizes, and designs, so feel free to pick what speaks to you on a personal level!
Set Aside a Tumbler for Makeup Brushes
Makeup brushes are the unruly villains of organised makeup. They roll around, they can pile up, and they get dirty quickly. Not to mention that when makeup brushes are dumped together, they can also cross-contaminate. And so, taming them should be the first item on your agenda.
Placing them in cups or tumblers is the easiest way to organise makeup brushes. It would be even better if you could store them in holders that have separate compartments. This way, it would be easier to keep the brushes for your face, lips, and eyes away from each other.
Lazy Susan
A Lazy Susan is a perfect solution for when you are tight on space and yet crave to make your makeup readily available. This carousel for your makeup can help you organise your makeup while making it convenient to locate a product. Things that would have otherwise slipped into anonymity in the back can easily swing to the front, making each corner and crevice accessible. Moreover, they make efficient use of corner areas, which would otherwise lay vacant.
Invest in Vanity Units
Albeit vanity units would be far pricier than other options discussed so far for organised makeup, their ROI would very well justify the cost. After all, you get a designated spot to store all your makeup. At the same time, who wouldn’t think that sitting comfortably in front of the mirror as you do your hair or makeup is less than royal treatment? Vanity units come with custom drawers where you can effortlessly compartmentalise your makeup products or put them on display as you pamper yourself. Evidently, the cost of getting a vanity unit is justified.
With the above checklist for organised makeup, it is clear that you only require a little planning ahead to make the best use of the space available while also storing your makeup securely.
Embracing these techniques can make your life significantly easier as you no longer have to blindly sort through the products, even if you’re getting ready at the last second.
