A Peek At My Makeup Collection & How I Organize It

Happy Wednesday!  A few readers have asked me to share how I organize my makeup.  For people who know me personally, “organized” is not a word they would ever use to describe me.  In fact, up until a month ago my makeup was shoved into drawers and overflowing in cabinets and under the sink.  I was recently motived to make all my products more easily accessible and picked up some small countertop drawers from Target.  I also used some votive candle holders to put all my lip glosses in, a mason jar for some beauty tools and Jon’s Anthropologie mug for my brushes (shh don’t tell him).  Now I can see and use all the makeup I own, and I love it!!!  I also have a drawer just for lipstick and lip balm.  Having the glosses upright in the votive holders keeps them from leaking.

Here are pictures of my set up:

{My makeup station!  Now getting ready in the morning is fun and easy!}

{My lipgloss collection in votive candle holders and a few items that don’t fit in the drawers}

{Eye primers and eyeshadow}

{More eyeshadow!}

{My highlighting products—don’t skip highlighter ladies!  It blurs imperfections and makes skin look luminous!}

{My tinted moisturizer, foundations, powder and concealers}

{My mascara and eyeliner drawer!  Yes, I do need this many mascaras!}

{Bronzers and blushes!}

{A mason jar for my Beauty Blender, lash curler and brush cleaner…leave your Beauty Blender out in a clean area so it can dry after you use it each day.  Since you use it damp—and I suggest washing it after each use!—-it needs to be in a clean dry place so it does not get moldy and gross.  Ew. And that’s my Naked2 Palette next to the jar…it’s too long to fit in my makeup drawers!}

{Makeup brushes!  More on my brush collection in another post but most of them are by Sigma.  I cannot say enough great things about Sigma brushes….they are just as wonderful as MAC brushes at a FRACTION of the price.  I promise.  Behind the brushes are makeup wipes.  Always nice to keep handy for any mishaps.}

I hope you enjoyed a peek into my makeup collection.  I’d love to know how you organize your makeup!
