Every beauty enthusiast has her own “territory,” which is the dressing table, filled with countless bottles and jars, all of which are her hard-earned treasures. However, as more and more items are purchased, it becomes increasingly difficult to remember where everything is placed. Often, items are left untouched and eventually expire in some forgotten corner.
How can these once beloved treasures be treated like garbage and left in unreachable corners? Our motto is: “No matter how expensive, everything can be used, nothing goes to waste!”
On the makeup table, the array of bottles and jars often brings a sense of happiness, but many times, unnecessary items take up too much space, resulting in a chaotic scene every time you do makeup or skincare. Skincare products that don’t suit your skin type, makeup that doesn’t align with your aesthetic, products with beautiful packaging but are already broken, or items that have expired but haven’t been used much… All these useless things should be discarded to free up space, making it more convenient for you to showcase your skills! The pinnacle of organizing skincare and makeup products is to make them easily accessible and effortlessly returnable to their original places. With such planning, muscle memory will gradually form, allowing you to locate your desired items even with your eyes closed.
Some people like to organize their makeup and skincare products by brand, as products from the same brand placed together often create a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing display. However, this also makes it doubly difficult to find the desired products. The correct way to categorize is by function: skincare, makeup, setting products, and tools should be organized separately. If there are a large number of items, they can be further categorized, for example, skincare products can be divided into toner, lotion, serum, and moisturizer.
Placing aesthetically pleasing products in the most prominent position? No, no, that’s not right. Doing so only makes them look good in photos, but doesn’t serve much practical purpose. Instead, a wiser approach is to place the products you use frequently in each category of cosmetics in the most easily visible position, making them more convenient to use. As for other infrequently used products, they can be placed in secondary positions.
When arranging your cosmetics, consider silently reciting the steps for skincare and makeup application and then placing your products accordingly. Whether from left to right or from top to bottom, ensure that the arrangement follows a logical order. This approach will make it easier for you to navigate your skincare and makeup routines, reducing the time spent searching for products and enhancing overall efficiency.
When faced with the myriad of makeup storage products available online, do you really know which ones are worth buying? While aesthetics are important, it’s equally crucial that they are functional. First and foremost, avoid storage boxes with drawers as there are always some odds and ends on the dressing table, making it inconvenient to open and close drawers every time you need something. Concerned about your treasures gathering dust? Opt for storage tools with flip covers, which can shield against dust and are more convenient to use. Additionally, avoid selecting furry mats. Even if you adore the soft touch of fur, dealing with cleaning can be a hassle. The smoother and easier-to-clean the material, the longer it will last.
Don’t be afraid to spend time organizing your cosmetics, because the process of organizing itself is very enjoyable. Each time you tidy up, you’ll rediscover long-forgotten items, giving you the same joy as acquiring new treasures. This process not only helps you reacquaint yourself with your makeup collection, but also sparks new inspiration, allowing you to better utilize your existing cosmetics to create different makeup looks.
