So I decided to clean my makeup desk, cause it was looking like a hot mess. As I began organizing and taking everything out I decided to make a blog post out of it! My makeup vanity is actually a desk from Ikea (model name MICKE) but it works perfectly for me, it fits very nicely in the corner of the room and it does come with one drawer. I also use acrylic storage, I highly recommend Muji they have sooo many different acrylic cases to choose from.
So before I re-arranged everything in the acrylic holder I had my nail polishes kind of just thrown in there and some makeup products to the right. I decided to put all the nail polish in the drawer and put out my most used makeup on a daily basis. I like it like this much better so this way I don't have to fish around through containers looking for this stuff, now it's all right in front of my face (and it looks much neater)!
Now the drawer below holds all my nail polishes and the rest of my makeup that I do not reach for on a daily basis. I actually use Tupperware (on the right) to hold mostly eye shadows and some face products and the pink container is actually a pencil holder that I just cracked in half ha ha ha, hey you gotta make it work!
I have 3 of these jars and some of them actually were candles and when the candle burned out I turned it a brush holder! If you don't have any candles you can always go to a craft store or even the dollar store and you will definitely find something there that you can use. Inside I put little rock that I got at Michaels.
I use a plastic holder like the one you have and a makeup bag.

Those plastic holders do make the organization so much neater, I love them!

I love storing my brushes like that, it's so simple and so affordable!
Deletelove your makeover! I need to do that. I did that about a year ago and it has gone through a messy stage again. The feeling of organized makeup is one of the best! haha

Ha ha ha yes I agree! Having your makeup organized and clean is a nice feeling, and I always re-discover my "forgotten" makeup!
DeleteThese are great ideas! I store my brushes the same way and love how easy to access they are!

I love it too, and I like how the brushes don't touch each other!
DeleteOrganization like this is the BEST! I love the before and after shots.
ReplyDeleteMy makeup is a bit of a mess right now, but I just completely re-did the way I organize my jewelry. I'll be posting about that on my blog next week :)

I have to do the same with my jewelry, I am still in search of a way to re-organize it! I will have to check out your blog and see what you did =)
DeleteMy make up storage is awful and I can never seem to part with any of my make up.
ReplyDeleteI agree, sometimes it is hard to part with your makeup. It's like, the more you have the better even if you don't use the product!
Deletelookin good! I need to do some organizing in my makeup drawer! I need to go through old stuff :(
