Makeup is every girl’s best friend.

Admit it: You are obsessed with it too! Whether you use it to cover blemishes, highlight your facial assets or solve complexion issues, I know makeup is your secret sanctuary when it comes to boosting your confidence.

Don’t you hate it when you can’t find your favorite lipstick or your go-to shade of eyeshadow? From the number of products you own, from primers, to powders to lipliners, I understand that tracking down one specific product from a number of items can be very frustrating.

So if your makeup collection is in need of a major fix, these simple hacks and solutions will get you back in order.

Keep your brushes in jars or drinking glasses.

You can reuse jars, or buy mason jars for your brushes.

In the same way, lipsticks and other tubes look so glam in these acrylic holders. Simply add faux pearls.

For powders, use a narrow holder similar to the one below.

You can actually make use of a pencil case to hold all these in. I do like the one in the photo because there are dividers.

Remember, the important thing about organization in whatever room it may be is to have a system. That means have categories. Keep the same/similar ones together. That way it will be easier to put things back the way they should be and also help you in easily finding the makeup you need. Some categories that can help get you started: brushes, lip glosses, lipsticks, eye makeup, blushes, face powders, primer. If you have a huge collection, you can even sub-categorize them, for instance, lipsticks can be segregated according to brand.

Finally, corral your collection into separate bins, even going so far as to labeling it for easier access and use.
