How do you store your Palettes?

[ Edited ]

Do you have a special way to organize your palettes?

 

They could be any kind of makeup palettes but, for me, it is my eyeshadow palettes that need to be organized. It is only in the past year that I started buying palettes. "They" seem to be putting more good colors in them because I am finding palettes filled with colors I will use!

 

I am thinking of getting the byAlegory Acrylic Palette Organizer, Clear pictured below. I found it on Amazon & it can be used standing up or on its side.

 

 About the product Design:

  • This product is intended for standard sized palettes
  • Size: 9.75 L x 9.5 W x 2.7 H"
  • Organize 8+ individual palettes - designed with removable dividers

Less used ones are in a drawer, most used ones are in my makeup organizer on the counter.

I never saw that kind of organizer, @willdob3, but it's pretty cool for someone who has a lot of palettes.  I don't have that many palettes, but what I do have get stored in my MUJI drawers.

I have worked very hard to rid my life of "unnecessary" stuff.  While this organizer looks useful, I see it as just one more thing to have to ultimately clean. 

 

My bathroom vanity has many drawers that house my hair/makeup paraphernalia in an organized fashion.

I visited a Target by me and took one of the Lancôme 5 colors palettes with me. I found a black Rubbermaid drawer organizer with rubber on the bottom so it won't shift when drawer opens or closes. 

 

Holds 15 of these palettes on their short side.

Would never buy palettes for eyes, cheeks ...  whatever.   

 

I've found the 4 colors most flattering and that's all I use.   I've observed friends who buy them rarely end up using very much, and they are just more bathroom clutter.   Who needs that?   

 

Let's be honest .....   does any woman really need 85 different colors of eye shadow?    I doubt even Las Vegas show girls need that many shadows!    LOL

@willdob3 I have lots of eyeshadow palettes. I store the ones I use most in a holder I got from Amazon its different than the one you have pictured. Its called Large capacity premium quality plastic makeup palette organizer. If you search on Amazon it should come up. Sorry not sure how to show a picture. I have seen the same kind made out of wood, and colored plastic at Home Goods, TG Maxx, or Marshalls. Its like a desk organizer. I perfer to store them straight up as I find it easier to grab the one I like. Sorry I am not sure how to post a link. I really like mine. It looks like the one you have pictured stores 8 mine stores more. Hope you find something that works for you! Kathie

Thanks. I will check it out. - Is this it? It looks nice!

I am hoping for something that will fit on my makeup vanity. I don't have so many palettes that I don't use them all pretty regularly so I'd love to have them at arm's length. 

 

@JustJazzmom - Is this like yours? And you keep it in a drawer? With the grip bottom that would be nice. I hate it when things slide around in drawers.

@Tinkrbl44 - For that matter, who really needs eyeshadow at all? lol I love subtle color and would find four limiting for me but I know lots of ladies who only wear one color and that is fine, too.

Yes, @willdob3 that is the one! I bought the black one at Target. 

 

Yes, it fits in the top vanity drawer in bathroom, along the side.
