How I Store my Makeup: Small Makeup Collection Organization


I have seen various videos as well as pictures of makeup storage to inspire my own makeup organization. I have thought about plastic drawers and cute storage boxes among other options. However, when it comes to my makeup, being something I use several times a week, I want it to be in a place very handy and accessible to me. I want all my makeup to be stored together in the same place so as to be visible whenever I am using it. This way I will be able to make use of each and every makeup item I own and nothing will go wasted because I forgot about it.

Since we moved in our current apartment I have slowly started to grow my makeup collection. And when it came to organizing it, I was immediately drawn to the set of drawers in our master bedroom. I decided to use the first drawer for my jewellery and the second for my makeup. Below you can see pictures of my makeup collection, and how I store each makeup category in this single drawer. 


Going from left to right, I have some extra things like makeup brushes cases, makeup sponges and samples at the back together with my Pupa makeup palette (which my mum gave me several years ago and although I do not use it I like to keep it because it's in the shape of a cute angel). I keep my few perfumes which I no longer use (because of my fragrance intolerance) at the back of the drawer. I have few papers, leaflets and a notebook all related to makeup at the left side. Next is this pink container which holds my sun lotion, my current foundation, my nail polish remover and a random hair product together with my manicure tools, a pocket mirror and a makeup case.


At the centre of the drawer I have my BC eye shadows palette together with my lip products and behind these my eye pencils and mascara.


On the right side of the drawer I like to store all of my face products like concealer, blushes, bronzer and powder as well as all of my eye shadows. Above are the products I used most often.


Below them is a small plastic container holding the rest of my eye shadows which I use every now and then. I like to keep all of my makeup into clear containers. Just few days ago I have replaced some plastic containers with glass ones. They look nicer and are definitely more solid and durable, which is important since I like to wash them quiet often.


And finally, but certainly not least, in the right corner are my nail polishes. I am thinking of taking them out and storing them on a nice white porcelain plate on top of my set of drawers. But I have to make sure I will have enough space left to do my makeup. At the moment, I am storing my clear nail polishes including nail treatments and top coats on top of my set of drawers together with a small mirror and few other ornaments as you can see below.

The one missing thing are my makeup brushed which I am currently washing. Once they are clean and dry I will be storing them in front of my lip products, next to my big makeup palette.


What about you? Where and how do you like to store your makeup? Let me know in the comments below.
