I don't believe in having too much stuff. I have a make-up kit; something that can be carried around in a bag. It has space for eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lip gloss, creams, foundation, cosmetics etc. I still think I keep it rather simple though!

This is so cute. I always wanted something similar as a little girl.

I finally organised myself a couple of years ago and got clear acrylic drawers of two different sizes. Being able to see all my pretties is definitely a plus. My brushes (I don't have too many) are in a cactus-shaped pen holder. Loose pigments are in a clear makeup bag nearby.

I picked up these modular acrylic makeup organizer shelves at the container store. I wish I had done a better job measuring because it doesn't quite fit perfectly on my bathroom counter and that sort of bothers me.

Anyway, it fits everything perfectly and if I run out of room I can just buy more shelves, so it does what it needs to and is way better than a drawer or a shelf.

The Le Creuset honey pot to the right of it holds my brush cleaner solution.

I wasn't sure how I felt about acrylic organizers because I figured they would get covered in smudges too easily, and to be fair it has, but it's still really pretty.

At some point I'll figure out a better place for it than the bathroom counter, but there are so many mirrors in the bathroom that it seems like the best spot for now.

Thank for sharing, love your Acrylic makeup organizers! Got to get those soon :smile1:

Redid my storage this weekend, mostly moving some things around & getting it better organized. My setup is in our guest bedroom. Disclaimer: I have a big "collection" and I make no apologies for it - I love makeup, consider it a hobby, and I truly do use everything I have. I rotate through items so nothing is sitting unused.

Almost everything is antique, except for the machinist chest to the left (Harbor Freight - Christmas present from DH a few years ago). The small cabinet on the right of the large vanity, with the 3-drawer box on top, holds all of my nail supplies, hand creams, hand sanitizers. (Sidenote, but I need to refinish that cabinet as the veneer on the bottom is in awful shape.) The flatware chest (dark chest with drawers & white knobs) on the left, and the machinist chest (toolbox) on top of that hold all of my actual cosmetics. The vanity is where I sit to get ready, and the drawers have mostly extra stuff such as skincare items, packs of wipes, tweezers/tools, etc. I keep the brushes I use most often on top of the vanity. On the left of the vanity is all of my foundations/BB creams, lip glosses, and a few extra cosmetic items.

Also, please excuse my coffee mug in the middle of the desk. I took these shots this morning while I was getting ready before work. :laugh:

I have the IKEA Alex nine drawer unit and use two of the deep drawers for my make up.

I have little acyrlic trays in them that I put my make up into so the insides of the drawers don't wrecked.

Agh, I hate myself for not buying this now that I see someone else using it as I intended! I didn't think I could drag the box upstairs by myself, so I didn't buy it.
