Tips to Help You Organize Your Makeup
 Makeup storage can become a hassle even for the most organized makeup connoisseur. A solid makeup collection includes a variety of products and colors for all outfits and all occasions. We all know that sales are enticing and you often find yourself sometimes buying makeup you don't necessarily need.
From your brushes to your eye shadow, lip liner and foundation, you can downsize the clutter and be able to find what you need when you need it. It can even be fun.
Sort Your Products
The first step to organizing anything, including makeup, is to sort. A fine way to sort makeup is by product. In other words, you want to have you mascara with your mascara. You do not want to have your foundation mingling with your lipstick and eye liner. Start by creating groups.
For example, consider having your foundation and your blush close to one another, and group all of your eye and lip makeup. Think about your makeup in categories and sub-categories.
Out with the Old
While some makeup lasts a while, you probably go through other types of makeup at what seems like a blinding rate. Liquid makeups can dry up and eye shadows become cracked and brittle over time. Unless you keep on top of your make up you will probably find you have some things that have seen better days.
Getting rid of old makeup you do not use also cuts down on clutter and makes room for new products too. Downsize your collection, and you'll begin to see how easy it is to start getting organized.
Places for Products
After sorting and getting rid of old makeup you'll need a way to keep your groups of products together. A toothbrush holder or simple pencil case are good ways to store all of your brushes, for example. Put your eye shadow palettes together and your loose eye shadow in a container.
Put your lipsticks and lip glosses together in a container as well. You can get a small plastic bin with drawers or separate individual bins. Get creative - whichever suits your style.
Getting Creative
When finding places for each of your products, feel free to use your creativity. For example, if you are feeling particularly crafty you can glue small magnets to the backs of your eye shadows and blushes. Take an old cookie sheet and wrap it in your favorite decorative fabric then hang it on the wall by your vanity or make-up table. Stick your products there so you'll always be able to find them.
If you do not want to invest in a bin or buy trays from the store, you can easily take old boxes and make your own bins. Decorate them with paper or fabric and use a larger box to store your smaller boxes that contain each of your products. If you have a lot of boxes you can construct your own little chest of drawers for your makeup.
