Organize Your Makeup and Keep Brushes Clean

Choose your beauty organizer by the problem you want to solve. 

For daily makeup on the counter, compare the Viva, three-drawer unit, turntable, and nine-slot organizer. 
For a clear countertop, consider the adjustable OXO bins with the longer iDesign trays inside your drawer. 
For a routine that moves between rooms, try an open-handled caddy or a Caboodles case. 
Measure usable compartments, drawer height, and room to open lids or pull out drawers. You only need the storage that fits what you keep in your beauty collection.

When cleaning your makeup tools, think in three steps: wash, dry, then store. 

Pair the EcoTools pad with a suitable rinse-off cleanser for washing. Follow the free AAD guide below for flat makeup brush drying, or use the sponge stand in its drying position for a freshly washed makeup sponge that is still damp.

Once the brushes are fully dry, choose the Zadro holder for countertop access or the zip case for storage. A holder, cleanser, and sponge serve different purposes; choose the missing step in your routine.

A bigger organizer should not become a retirement home for old makeup. Decluttering your makeup will allow you to enjoy the products you love without having to dig through ones you don't. 

Start with the makeup replacement guide while sorting one drawer, then use the brush-cleaning guide to plan a regular wash-and-dry routine. Both are free resources from the American Academy of Dermatology.
