Was having a hard time typing my post in the same post as the item description so writing it here. After my recent purchase of Sigma brushes, I realized I needed better brush storage/organization than what I have. Found this on Amazon and thought it was great. I can organize my brushes, stand it up while putting makeup on, then close it up and put it away. My brushes stay protected and not out in the open. Have this on my Amazon wish list for the next time I place an order. It got very good reviews too.

Since I only take minimal makeup, if any, when I travel, that's way too much for me. I have a plexiglass container made up of several tubes that I store mine out on a shelf in my bathroom. I bought one years ago from a pace called Stacks & Stacks which I think is no longer in business. But I managed to find the same container this year at The Container Store when mine fell apart, so I bought two just in case. It's called the Umbra Tube Countertop Organizer.

My question is why does someone need that many brushes?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@JudyL

My brushes are out in the open but in a closet. IOW, they aren't covered. Is that a bad thing? It's like these. These are on the ends for long skinny items like pencil liners

And these larger ones hang on one side for brushes and small items like concealers and such.

@JudyLI have a similar brush roll for when I'm on a "job". Mine has a strarp attachment that goes around my waist to be hands free to hold other products.

At home I have all my brushes in clear glass mugs on my vanity. They're washed often, so dust doesn't have time to collect.

Blowing on brushes to get off extra product is a NO... ...germs. Tap it on mirror or the compact in use.

@mare54We really don't need that many, but it's like foundations or creams...buying the next best thing.

Necessary brushes? One or two shadow brushes (larger for laying down product and a fluffy one to blend), a foundation brush w/ soft bristles and maybe has a smaller brush at other end to apply/blend concealer, a fluffy powder brush and one for blush. I like ones that are not real hair so I can use them for cream or powder products. I do use IT Spray Love (?) to keepmy brushes clean after each use and wash thoroughly weekly.

@monicakm- no it's not a bad thing to have brushes out in the open that I know of. It's just my personal preference to not have them that way.

@Icegoddess- I wasn't planning on using this for travel so that isn't an issue. I don't take a lot of makeup with me when I travel so have something smaller that I would use. Also prefer not to have my brushes in glasses or containers where they are out in the open. Just my preference.
