The Ultimate Guide to Organizing Your Makeup Collection

Are you tired of rummaging through a chaotic mess every morning just to find your favorite lipstick? Or maybe you’ve realized you have three identical eyeliners because you couldn’t see what you already owned? It’s time to bring order to your makeup collection! This ultimate guide will help you organize your makeup like a pro, making your beauty routine more efficient and enjoyable.

1. How to Store Cosmetics – Declutter and Sort Your Makeup

Start by gathering all your makeup products and laying them out in one place. This will give you a comprehensive view of what you own. Next, sort your makeup into broad categories. Common categories include:

• Face: Primers, foundations, concealers, powders, blushes, bronzers, highlighters.
• Eyes: Eyeshadows, eyeliners, mascaras, brow products, eye primers.
• Lips: Lipsticks, lip glosses, lip liners, lip balms.
• Tools: Brushes, sponges, applicators, eyelash curlers, sharpeners.

If you have a large collection, you might want to further subdivide these categories. For example, separate liquid foundations from powder foundations, or group eyeshadows by palette or single shades.

As you sort, take the opportunity to declutter. Check the expiration dates and condition of each product. Dispose of anything that is expired, broken, or that you no longer use. This step is crucial for maintaining a healthy and organized makeup collection.
