Bought this acrylic box from Ebay. It was around $170 but worth every penny. I can clearly see all my makeup. Different height drawers, some with adjustable/optional dividers.

All the acrylic storage cups on the top shelf I bought from the container store for about $3-6. They all came with lids and served different purposes (such as holding cotton balls an swabs, toothbrushes) but I just tossed the lids.

Round cup for eye pencils, round cup for brushes, round cup for mascaras, square cup for nail tools, and there is a long rectangular one in the back with 4 compartments I used for my tall lipglosses as lip pencils.

Hope this inspires you.

well first off you should throw away all mascara that is over 6 monthes max and also you should throw away any eyeshadow that is un pigmented or is very old and same goes with the other cosmetics then for like foundation and concealer throw away wrong colors or formulas that don't match your skintone so basically get rid of all of your excess makeup that is just taking up space then you should get like the containers from walmart that are like 11.00 dollars and they have like 3 pretty good size compartments. you can choose what kind of size you want out of the 2 or 3 options then you could either arrange your makeup by like first container is your everyday makeup and then go down by makeup that you wear most and the 2nd options is to arrange it by looks like the first container is your everyday makeup and the second is your colorful makeup and like etc. the final choice is to organize it by foundations and concealers in one then blushes in another (cream,liquid,powder) and then bronzers in another (cream,liquid,powder) and you can put your highlighters in whichever box is least empty out of the bronzer and blush or if you have a lot then you could do a seperate box. Then i would do like eyeshadows and primers and all that then eyeliners then mascaras then for lips you could do like lipsticks and lipbalms in one and then lipglosses and stains in another. also for your palattes you could store them in a cupboard or like in a storage place in your room and just pick your shadow or palatte for the day and them go into your bathroom

I had my make up stored in a acrylic thingy but it always looked cluttered and disorganized. And all the make up storage I looked at was overpriced. So I went to my local office supply shop and went through desk storage. They had a collection were their accessories like pen, paper and paper trays were stackable ontop of each other. So the bottom part is actually an a4 paper tray with a drawer and the top a organiser for pens and envelops. The buckets i also bought from the office supply store.

When I'm using it I simply take my tray of lipstick off and bucket (I'm usually fiddling through it for things anyway) and Have whichever eyeshadow pallet I'm using open.
