1. The Complete Guide to Organizing Makeup Drawers A messy makeup drawer can turn the process of getting ready into a stressful and exhausting ordeal. When your beauty products are cluttered, you spend time searching for what you need, risk using expired products and might even end up repurchasing what you already have.

2. Indeed, organizing the drawer for your makeup not only makes things more efficient, but also prolongs the life of your products and creates a better drawer to look into. This guide will address the most efficient ways to declutter, sort, and organize your makeup collection. Whether you have a small drawer, or an entire vanity, these tips can get you on your way to a well-organized space that makes your beauty routine easier. Step 1: Purge Your Makeup Collection Empty Your Drawer First, empty your makeup drawer organizer completely. It means you should get access to see all the products you own, and will get a blank canvas to work on. Sort Items Into Categories ● Before you start to arrange, sort your make-up into broad categories: ● Face products (foundation, concealer, powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter) ● Makeup eye: (eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, brow products) ● Lip products (including lipsticks, glosses, liners and balms) ● Got to go m-a-r-athon on legal issues Cotton balls & swabs Tools and accessories (brushes, sponges, eyelash curlers) ● Basic skincare (moisturizers, serums, primers) Check Expiration Dates Beauty products do not last forever. Expired products can cause a skin infection. Here’s a general rule of thumb for makeup expiration dates: Mascara and liquid eyeliner: 3–6 months Foundation and concealer: six to 12 months Lipsticks and lip glosses: 1 to 2 years Powder products (blush, bronzer, eyeshadow): 2 years Eyeliners and lip liners: 1-2 years If a product has altered in texture, color, or smell, it’s time to get rid of it. Get Rid of Unused or Redundant Things If a product hasn’t been used in six months, it is likely that you don’t need to keep it. Give unopened items away to friends, family or local shelters. Dump items that are old or expired.

Small Baskets or Trays Grouping similar items together is best done with baskets and trays. Use them to distinguish between daily-use products and occasional-use products. Stackable Containers For those with limited space, stackable containers maximize vertical storage while allowing access to everything in the storage unit. Rotating or Magnetic Organizers If you have a larger collection, a magnetic board or rotating makeup organizer will free up space and keep all your makeup easily accessible. Step 3: Organize Your Makeup for Ease of Access Essentials Up Front Putting the products you use daily at the front or the most reachable part of your drawer. That includes foundation, mascara and your favorite lipstick. Categorize by Product Type It is easier to find what you need with similar products grouped together.
