Faced with an increasing number of cosmetics, how should we store them? The bottles and jars always seem to multiply faster than we can use them up, or perhaps some containers are just too beautiful to easily discard. However, it’s important to realize that a makeup table is not a magical Mary Poppins bag that can hold everything; otherwise, it will only accumulate more and more. Therefore, regular organization of the makeup table is absolutely necessary. By using clever makeup storage tricks and tidying up properly, makeup products can also serve as beautiful home decorations!
Step 1: Take out all cosmetics and classify them by frequency of use
Divide all items into frequently used, infrequently used, and reserve items according to their frequency of use. Then, further divide them by different users and types, and discard anything that is not needed.
Step 2: Determine the location of each item
Place frequently used items in the most easily accessible location and group items that are used together.
Step 3: Use the same type of storage tools for each category
When organizing drawers, store items vertically, and when organizing larger cabinets, use the same type of storage tools.
Suitable for friends with a lot of products and relatively large space. For example, lipstick, which we often buy in large quantities despite its small size. If not stored together, it is easy to lose track of them. Foundation products come in various packaging, and we use different textures of foundation in different seasons, so proper storage is essential…
Many people are familiar with using acrylic boxes to store lipsticks. However, ordinary storage boxes, although they can hold lipsticks, do not provide a secure placement. Once you take out a few lipsticks, they can easily become disorganized and misplaced.
Therefore, the best storage method is to choose cylindrical divided storage boxes, where each lipstick has its designated place. You can arrange them according to your preferred classification method, such as by shade or brand. This way, you can easily see and access your lipsticks, making it convenient for daily use.
The packaging of foundation products varies greatly, such as liquid foundation, cream foundation, cushion foundation, and so on. Therefore, relying on a single storage box is not enough. For products with a cylindrical shape, you can choose a regular shelf to store them, placing them from small to large.
Although products like eyeshadows may have similar shapes, they vary in thickness and width. Buying different sizes of storage containers for each type can be impractical. Adjustable dividers allow you to customize the storage based on the products, increasing practicality.
For small individual eyeshadows, it’s recommended to purchase specialized small divided eyeshadow trays. Their smaller spaces provide better fixation. Products like blush, eyeshadows, highlighters, etc., often have similar packaging, so they can be stored together. Arrange them in different categories on various layers of a drawer for a clear and organized setup.
This storage solution can truly save lipstick enthusiasts. You can purchase one with more compartments to accommodate all your lipsticks. The magnetic closure design provides a great tactile feel and prevents dust buildup. By placing the lipsticks with the bottoms facing outward, you can easily see the color names.
There are many benefits to organizing your makeup brushes. Firstly, it helps you keep your brushes neatly arranged, avoiding clutter and loss, thus enhancing efficiency. Secondly, a storage box can protect the brush bristles from external contamination and damage, extending their lifespan. Additionally, categorizing your brushes allows you to quickly find the ones you need, saving makeup time. A beautiful storage box can also add a decorative touch to your makeup table, making the entire space more tidy and visually appealing. Most importantly, storing your brushes separately can prevent cross-contamination, maintain hygiene, and make your makeup process healthier and more reassuring.
A good start is half the battle. Although organizing for the first time may be a big project, as long as it is done properly, you can maintain a neat and clean state in the future.
Organized storage can also improve efficiency, making your makeup process smoother and more enjoyable.
