Living in Hollywood CA had to have large amounts of makeup. Since retiring no longer have nor could imagine having. Less is more than enough for my needs. Found multiple uses for my makeup. Actually! Cindy Joseph's "Boom" products three simple steps. For more information YouTube or Amazon. Cindy also has her own website. Love her line! Good ingredients right amount of makeup for my 58 yr old face. You might enjoy her story.💁

Re: How can I organize my makeup!

I have two large train cases. One for make-up and one for skincare. I don't like to keep make-up in the bathroom.

Re: How can I organize my makeup!

I purchased a plastic 3 drawer compartment from Walmart.  There are other sizes too.  I only needed the 3 drawer which the 1st drawer is powder, foundation & blush; 2nd drawer is eyelash curler, mascara and shadows/eye liners; 3rd drawer is brushes, bobbi pins, misc.  It is about 10 x 10 or somewhere in that area.  I keep in my linen closet which is located in my bathroom.  HeartCat Happy

Re: How can I organize my makeup!

[ Edited ]

As I mentioned...Youtube has some good makeup organization video for small & large areas I was able to design my bathroom...I have a separate sit down vanity that has 3 drawer on both sides & a slim wide drawer in the middle. I line my drawers with Rubbermaid lining & it does not make any of my dividers slide. I have bought many divider at the dollar store, Walmart, Michaels & some acrylics from Amazon. The smaller center drawer I got a mesh cutlery holder which I got the idea from you tube. Then, had some space on the sides & picked up narrow dividers.

 

I recently went shopping with a friend who has a small space but has a linen closet. & helped her out because she had different makeup bags piled up on her counter. We went to Michaels and bought several baskets with lining & then went to the Dollar Tree Store & fitted different size dividers. Then labeled the front of the baskets with the product in them. I picked that idea up from Youtube. Now on her small counter space, she has a tray for her fragrances & a pretty vase with silk flowers The Cabinet under her sink has her skin care in a basket etc.. She'sa HappyWoman Happy

                                                                                                                     The lined basket idea, I got from a kitchen pantry Video on Youtube. In her medicine cabinet, she keeps a few oils, some lippies & nail polishes. Still room for meds.

Re: How can I organize my makeup!

Is your storage issue only about the GWP items or do you own a lot of makeup aside from the GWPs? The answer is really about how much do you own, what is the budget and do you have room? 

 

If you have room in your bathroom or bedroom for a lingerie chest, it's lovely. Lots of shallow drawers.  At IKEA, the famous (from YouTube) Alex chests are great. They have multiple styles and stack on top of each other.

 

Michael's or Joann's have great storage caddy/drawer systems. Look for that 40% off coupon. The scrapbooking section has nifty storage ideas because they are usually shallow. 

 

If you have a ton of lipstick, the lipstick towers are the best invention ever. Check overstock . com for a great price. 

 

I can't recall the right name but there are plastic hanging shoe organizers and jewelry organizer that hook over a door. The plastic is see through and one pocket can be for sunscreens, one for toners, one for matte lipsticks, etc. Again, depends on your collection but they do allow you to see most of the things.

 

If you are able to emtpy a few drawers, then check the kitchen or office supply section of any store for drawer trays. Lots of them can be configured to fit your needs.

You might also want to look at Kimberly Clark's youtube beauty vlogger and drag queen's makeup storage ideas as he has two Ikea Alex storage drawers with a table in between and he's made his own drawer organizers. He has a ton of makeup and other stuff to store and it's a really good idea that he's done with the drawer storage:

as the youtube video is from about a year ago. Also take a look and binge watch some of his anti-haul videos as they are lots of fun!
