Makeup Storage FAQs

Do I need a makeup organizer?

If you’ve made it this far, it’s likely because you already know you need an organizer. But to tell for sure, consider your current makeup collection as well as what it could be in the foreseeable future. If you tend to stockpile makeup, you’ll want to invest in a makeup organizer.

How do I organize my makeup in a small space?

There are a couple of things you can do. The first step is to determine which beauty items are the most necessary and then choose which to keep in your organizer while keeping the rest of your makeup elsewhere. Additionally, if you have room on your desk or storage area, you can buy a larger organizer that will allow you to store more items. Finally, consider trying stackable organizers that you can arrange horizontally or vertically as you see fit.
