Re: How do you store your make-up brushes?

I keep my daily makeup brushes in a ""mom"" mug my kids painted for me at a pottery store. I keep my extras standing in wide mason jar.

{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}Believe it or not, I store my brushes in a bowl that is half filled with lentil beans! I have a couple of Caboodles for makeup and skin care, but was tired of paying high prices for storage. The beans are tiny and the perfect size to hold the brushes up without having too much resistance when you return them to the bowl. There is enough "give" so to speak that you don't have to fight with the brushes to get them back into the bowl. I thought about marbles and even pinto beans but there would have been too much resistance. The best part- when the bowl gets dirty and coated with hairspray, it's about $2.50 to buy more beans! HAHAHA!!

Fabulous idea!!!
Love it!

Re: How do you store your make-up brushes?

Check out the desk accessories and kitchen organizer sections as well as drawer organizer section at the discount stores. Artist brush storage sections are great, too, but some can be pricey. Lots of great ideas when you look at them through a lens of makeup storage use. I store my eye shadow brushes in a gadget made for artist brushes. I store my large brushes in a spinning carousel similar to what you see for large kitchen cooking utensils. I'll try to come back later and post pictures.

Re: How do you store your make-up brushes?

I used to store them upright in one of those purse organizers from QVC, along with extra makeup, but after awhile I noticed they were dust collectors. Now I put the extras in a zip lock bag in a drawer and put the ones I use in a Caboodle that has my every day basics.

I have 2 cute mugs from Anthro. I store the ones I use most in one, and the oddball ones in another.

Re: How do you store your make-up brushes?

I purchased a 3 drawer plastic container at Walmart for my makeup & brushes. I keep it in my linen closet which is located in my bathroom. It's perfect. Did not cost a lot of money and keep the brushes out of the air/dust. It's 9-1/2" high, 10-1/2" width and the depth is 12".

Make Up Brushes sitting out collect dust. Flies leave lava.
