You can get really creative with this one. Change out the 'marbles' or make it with different styles of containers.

When you want to clean your marbles then just place them in a colander and rinse or put them in a mesh bag in the dishwasher.

Your container of marbles look so pretty but I'm such a klutz, I'd turn it over at least once a week.    Marbles everywhere!

@software,

LOL! I get it. I'm pretty clumsy myself, too. But that marbles container is rather heavy and with the right container it's difficult to knock over unless you're aiming for it.Woman LOL

I've really enjoyed using the Pampered Chef Carousel for my brushes, liners, etc.  You can organize ALOT!  It spins and doesn't take up too much room.  It was originally created to hold kitchen utensils.

Re: Shopping for Make-up Brush Organizer

Good point.

 

I keep my pens & pencils on my desk in a rather large, heavy coffee mug.

I manage to turn it over at least once a week, that's the image I had for the brushes as well!

Re: Shopping for Make-up Brush Organizer

I use two methods. I purchased the smaller pursefection purse organizer and it holds all of my brushes and sponges. The outside pockets are great for all the small brushed and there are plenty of pockets on the inside for the mediurm handled brushes which allows the inner space to be used for the kubuki brushes. It really works well.

I also use mugs to hold my brushes. All those funny saying ones that kids get me every year. I keep those in my bathroom for those qucik touch ups so I'm not running back and forth to  my vanity. Saves me time.

@Texasmouse...I saw that one but I was concerned it wasn’t tall enough for my longer brushes & that they might tip over.  Do you have taller brushes that you store in it?

Be creative, what you choose doesn't have to be specifically identified as a brush organizer.  I use a couple of 1 pt. pottery crocks for my single-ended brushes.  Double-ended brushes go in an acrylic drawer system.  Decide if you want your brushes out on the counter/vanity and easy to grab or do you want to physically put them away after use?  Mason jars, pottery crocks, acrylic drawers, acrylic containers, brush rolls, brush stands.  There are many options, you just need to figure out what appeals to you.


@JeanLouiseFinch...very good points! I may need a combo drawer & stand.  I could sit one on top of the other. My space is tight, which is why it’s gotten out-of-hand unorganized.
