Not all beauty girls can KonMarify their beauty closets. There’s always more than a couple of go-to red lipsticks. And nudes. And pinks. There’s the mascara for daily wear and the mascara for special days. There’s the acid toner for pore degunking week, the essence toner for regular days, and the toner for when a zit shows up. There’s the life-changing moisturizer that’s always replenished and all the recent buys that excite and please. Many, many things just always spark joy. And that’s all right.
The best part about the beauty world is that there will always be a place for all, minimalists and maximalists alike. For many of us who have overflowing shelfies, the next best thing to purging and simplifying could be tossing everything past its shelf life and organizing our vanity meticulously. An impressive makeup and skincare collection need not always be overspilling and chaotic. Here are some storage tips and ideas for your makeup and skincare.
Use accessory trays to divide your vanity drawer into organized sections, where you can place products that could look too cluttered elsewhere such as small pots and chunky pens. Most would think of drawers as convenient storage for clutter, but the usual drawback with that is the products stored in them would rarely be seen and therefore end up becoming unused. A tidy drawer—even if it’s only you who’ll see it—is both practical and therapeutic to see.
Pretty plates can work as easy-access storage for your small daily essentials such as lip balms and blushes.
Another easy-access idea for daily skincare? Use trays on your main vanity surface to store your skincare products for day and night.
We use one of our vanity drawers for all our beauty gadgets and tools. To neatly arrange them and easily see what we need to use, their charging cords are all stored in a separate pouch.
Multi-layer beauty carousels or even cupcake stands make for practical and pretty storage for bottled products, be it your base collection, perfumes, or skincare essentials.
Trolleys are smart organizers for pretty products like perfumes and hair accessories. You may opt to add decorative things, too, like vases and flowers.
You can arrange big eyeshadow palettes on a shelf as you would with books and add decor and design elements you prefer.
Acrylic organizers for lipsticks and even glass jewelry boxes look chic and are worth buying for a neat and beautiful display of your favorites.
