Trends in Makeup Organization: What’s New in 2024

Whether you store your cosmetic collection on your dressing table or in the bathroom, having a large number of makeup items can easily become overwhelming. Fortunately, there are lots of practical makeup organizing ideas to help you feel less intimidated by this process. You can implement the following helpful trends in cosmetics organization:

1. Labeled Drawers

Makeup organizers help keep your makeup products organized and easy to find so that you don’t waste your precious time searching through multiple drawers and dressers. Start fresh by clearing out drawers and cabinets of anything old or expired (including hair products!).

Once you’ve laid down a blank canvas, organize what you wish to keep into categories, like eye products and facial treatments. Also helpful is having an area set aside specifically for small items like Q-tips and cotton pads.

Add some glamour to your drawers with dividers that provide the utmost in organization – they will help make your makeup appear sophisticated while making lightweight items easier to find, such as eyeliner that often falls to the bottom of a bag. Another option would be a train case which has multiple compartments dedicated to makeup storage, such as eyeliners. DIY versions using shoe boxes, decorative tape and shopping bags could even work!

2. Clear Bins

Makeup organizers can make the difference between a disorganized and stylish aesthetic when it comes to storage of makeup in drawers or on countertops. When looking for one, keep size and functionality in mind when shopping – for instance, an organizer with plenty of room for all of your beauty products would be ideal, along with clear designs to help easily locate items.

Cosmopolitan writer Ambar Pardilla suggests another trend worth keeping an eye out for in terms of beauty organization is using plastic ice cube trays as eyeshadow containers, which also works great for blushes, bronzers, setting powder and highlighters. This hack makes traveling easy since these trays can fit easily in luggage while providing access to beauty essentials while on the move.

Meg of Hip2Save suggests keeping lip products organized by placing them in an adorable file or napkin holder, such as one found at dollar stores or office supply outlets. Clear bins allow you to quickly see what products you have while protecting them from rolling around and becoming damaged. Plus, these holders may come at an economical price!

3. Ice Cube Trays

An effective makeup organizer can make the beauty organization process simpler and faster. And there are various tools available. When selecting an organizer, consider where it will be stored as well as the products you most commonly use.

For instance, if you own many lipsticks, a container with angled slots would make an excellent way to store their flat tins. Furthermore, it’s clear tiers create an uncluttered aesthetic and allow for easier identification of what products exist within its walls.

Rotating makeup organizers such as this one are another excellent solution for easy access to all the items in your collection without digging through or dispensing with them all.

4. Acrylic Organizers

Waring suggests searching for options with compartments or drawer dividers that allow you to clearly see what’s inside. Affixing cute labels to your makeup storage solutions will also add an element of personalization.

If you own multiple eyeshadow palettes of differing sizes (example A: this Morphe and this Nars palette), this acrylic makeup organizer can hold them all – the large palettes in the back and smaller ones up front. Best of all: it’s not bulky at all despite holding so much stuff!

Acrylic makeup organizers are among the fastest-growing beauty organization items, according to a 2023 report by Cognitive Market Research. Attractive storage solutions and the rising trendiness of beauty trends on social media drive this growth trend. Plus, acrylic organizers come in more colors and patterns than their plastic counterparts? making them more visually appealing than plastic counterparts as well as being easier to clean so you can easily locate your most frequently used cosmetics!

TIPS FOR PACKAGING YOUR ORGANIZER: Start by organizing, decluttering and purging all expired liquid face products (particularly liquid face lotions, lipsticks and eyeliners) as well as any that are never used or have expired. Next, sort your remaining makeup according to its frequency of usage into categories by sorting by usage frequency.
