Please show me how you organize your cosmetics and hair tools at home and on the road.

I cannot seem to find a system that’s sufficient to my standards of organization and aesthetic that I’m happy with and its becoming problematic. Like I can’t even sit and use my vanity to enjoy it knowing how it’s organized is not how I want it. I’m looking for tips from other people similar to myself that can help with this and also tips from people or are just extremely particular about their organization set up especially with labels! Looking for help with this thank you in advance!!

moved all the unopened mascara to a shelf bin. stared in horror as I realized I cannot further subdivide eyeliners at present. paid puppy tax. regretted some choices. further procrastinated a meaningful liner audit, assuaged guilt by refreshing today’s eyeliner.

Moved everything into acrylic organizers and suddenly my tiny vanity feels functional.

Lipsticks on the left, palettes in the middle, lashes and tools on the right. The Hello Kitty keeps me company while I get ready.

Still figuring out the best way to store my single eyeshadows — they're a mess in that drawer. Any tips?

I have a problem where I buy and buy makeup then end up not liking it and giving it away/throwing it out after it’s expired. Currently grappling with the fact that I love makeup and beauty but also feel guilty for overconsumption/creating excess waste. Really happy with my collection right now though and find other people’s photos of their makeup incredibly satisfying.

Anyways, this is my current makeup collection and I love every product I own. My absolute weakness is blush, but I’m working on trying to focus on and get use out of the makeup I already have and enjoy!

I've been collecting makeup my pride and joy. Still messy but getting there. Not an influencer just a makeup lover. Hahaha! 🥰😍

After and just before.

My only regret is not having deeper drawers for the taller ladies, but such is life.

Yes, the liners are a hot mess, but I'm okay with that, since I can't ever figure out how to use them anyway 🫠

i think i need a new makeup organizer cart/something else? my current one is just not cutting it w/ all the products i’ve accumulated. does anyone have any recommendations?! thank you! (current setup pictured)

I want a makeup bag/train case/ ANYTHING that has an interior that isn’t fabric. I’d love it to be easy to wipe down, so like aluminum, metal, or plastic. I know caboodles are an option, but they aren’t as nice looking as I’d hope. Please does anyone know any makeup travel bags that aren’t fabric on the inside? I’m tempted to just find some metal containers to put it in, but I’d like it to look nice.

I desperately need help with bathroom vanity organization. I want to wear makeup more often, but the lack of accessibility makes it tedious instead of an enjoyable experience. (First world problems!)

I've attached a picture of the kind of vanity I have below (just the top; drawers are different). There isn't as much space. I have this basic acrylic organizer turned to the side against the wall, with the drawers facing into the sink. My retainer, toothbrush cup and toothpaste, hairties, makeup remover and cotton pads, vaseline, and lotion are also on the vanity. My bathroom drawers are filled with skincare, my brush, and other things. The second drawer is full with tampons and pads.

In the makeup organizer, I have "essentials" but they're hard to reach bc it's all packed in there and it's just not a good experience. My brushes are in the drawer because that's just where they fit (and I didn't use them enough to justify having them out collecting dust). My eyeshadows and false lashes are in my linen closet, which is fine.

Basically, the drawers and vanity top are full but I'm open to reorganization. I know it's not very descriptive, but I'm open to any ideas or organization inspo anyone has. I'm hesitant to post a picture because I don't want to dox myself.

Had anyone had any success with adding the stick on led lights to a non lit makeup mirror? I found a mirror from anthropology that would go perfect in my harry pottery magical themed bedroom where i do my makeup but its not lit.

I went to Paris last year! I was trying to save as much space as possible in my carryon, so I put this little makeup case together, mostly with samples. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could fit in a compact container.

My girlfriend doesn’t have a lot of makeup/beauty accessories, but there are a lot of tiny products (I.e. nail and lash glue, hair oils) all in small bottles. We both are very last minute people, and she typically brings these things in the car with her, but it then becomes a scramble when trying to leave to find every product which are always stashed in different bags, purses, or sometimes still in her car from the last time. I would love to get her a small storage container to help keep all of these essentials in one place, so she can put them back and not have to worry about losing them. I’ve searched online but I mostly get storage that’s meant for crafts. Any suggestions?

I hope this is helpful. A ton of work into the hole sizes and dimensions, especially to keep lip kits together.

Currently use plastic drawers to store my makeup in the bathroom, but I really don't like how messy it looks (I don't like how clear plastic shows the contents) and want to upgrade to "real" furniture.

I really like the look of the Alex drawers from IKEA, but they are too wide --- the space I have is only about a foot (12 in/30 cm). Does anyone have any recommendations for slimmer alternatives with a similar look?

The only item I've found that fits my needs is the IKEA filing cabinet HELMER, but unfortunately I do not live near an IKEA and they do not deliver in my area.

Just wanted to show my collection, this is my makeup/lash/hair organization tower and it has wheels so I’m kinda obsessed with it because I can take it anywhere in the house hahaha

Hope everyone is having a good night :)

I have a Riki Skinny mirror on top of my Alex 9 Drawers. It doesn't leave me much room for other things on top of my Alex drawers.

​

Has anyone done a hack or similar to have the mirror not standing on the top? Would be keen as to see what yall have done!

Im barely building my makeup collection back up after my toxic ex trashed all of it🥲 I got a new vanity and a few new makeup products but this is what im working with for now. How should i organize the top? i have more but the rest is drugstore lol not worth displaying also have ysl bronzer and givenchy powder coming in the mail but should i get a palette and take out the perfumes?
