There are so many different ways to store your makeup, but most importantly is that everything is organized and easily accessible. There’s nothing worse than a messy bathroom or vanity with different products strewn all over the place. Not only does it look unorganized, but you can never find what you need when you need it! Trust me as I know this first hand.

If this sounds like a dilemma you can relate to, here are some different makeup storage options you can try to keep your space organized.

Some of my favorite makeup storage options

1. Large Acrylic Makeup Organizer

If you have a fairly modest makeup collection but you still like to keep things organized and accessible, then an acrylic makeup organizer like this one from Amazon might be a great option for you. It’s small enough to fit nicely on a vanity or bathroom counter whilst still boasting plenty of room for your products. There are different types of storage to neatly organize anything from lipsticks to foundation, and the acrylic material means that you can easily see your makeup for quick accessibility.

2. Makeup Train Case

If you’re one of those people that’s constantly traveling and doesn’t want to spend time packing and unpacking a flimsy and unorganized cosmetics bag, this is the solution for you! There’s nothing worse than opening your make-up bag to find a cracked setting powder has covered all your products in a thin layer of dust! Which is why a hard case like this one from BH cosmetics is a great way to keep your collection organized and protected if you’re on the go. Not to mention it can also be neatly stored away and out of sight at home.

3. IKEA Alex Drawer Unit or a Similar Version That I Love on Wheels

This one is a very popular option, made famous by beauty bloggers and influencers alike. The IKEA Alex drawer unit is a great way to keep your products organized and neat, not to mention it’s roomy as well as aesthetically pleasing. If you have a really impressive collection, you can purchase multiple matching units and, like most IKEA products, it won’t break the bank! I also found a fantastic unit that’s similar that I love.

4. Industrial Storage Dresser

Leave it up to Urban Outfitters to create something both practical and stylish. This industrial style storage dresser has tons of room for your makeup collection with a unique and trendy industrial look. It’s a little bit pricier than other options, but the best part about this dresser is the label holders, which means you can arrange each drawer by product for extra organization and easy accessibility!

5. Expandable Drawer Organizer

If you already have drawers where you keep your makeup but want to organize them better, these drawer organizers from Amazon are a great and affordable option. At just $19.99 for a 6 pack, they allow you to custom organize your products without having to spend money on a whole new storage unit.

6. Countertop Rotating Organizer

If you prefer a storage option where you can actually see all your products, you have limited space, or drawers just aren’t your thing, this countertop organizer is a great solution. It allows you to keep your products neat and tidy without taking up much space. This is how I keep my skincare products organized on my vanity.

7. DIY Organization Options

Last but not least, if you prefer total control and would rather organize each part of your collection individually, you can go for a more “Do It Yourself” solution! There are loads of different storage options online for each type of product (such as these acrylic holders for makeup brushes or palettes). This way, you can store things exactly the way that you like using the solutions that work best for your needs.
