Makeup Organisation That Makes Getting Ready Faster (Not Messier)
23
items These are the simple makeup organisation tools that make everyday routines feel quicker and less cluttered. I prefer setups that are easy to maintain and actually get used daily, rather than complicated systems that look good but don’t last.

Daily Use Essentials
Items that sit on the vanity and immediately improve accessibility
Love the clear ones as I can immediately see where each item is when I am looking for anything in particular
Vtopmart 4 Pack Small Clear Stackable Drawers
Again, if you're like me, I like to see everything openly so that I can spot what I need when I need it.
Brush Container - Amazon.com
Great for corners and saves space when you go vertical.
Rotating Makeup Organizer, 8 Adjustable Layers
This really depends on how many colours you have. I just like to see things a bit more organised but there are other ways to do so instead of this.
Lipstick Display - Amazon.com
If you don't like the rotating version as you may find that it doesn't hold a lot of bottles, then you may want to try the tiered stand. I do prefer this because the height is a lot taller and I do tend to have a lot of tall bottles.
Tiered Skin Care Organizer - Amazon.com
Drawer & Hidden Storage Systems
For those trying to declutter without adding visible bulk
These immediately help to separate the mess and allows you to categorise your makeup in your drawer.
Drawer Dividers - Amazon.com
These are only suitable for deeper drawers.
Modular Makeup Organizers & Mirrors - The Container Store
The good thing about organising them vertically like so is that you can see your palettes at a glance. Previously, I would pile them up and would forget those at the bottom.
Palette Organizer - Amazon.com
These are to stack vertically on your vanity and more for items that you probably only use once a month or once a week.
Stackable Storage Bins - Amazon.com
These are good for shallower drawers
Drawer Organizer - Amazon.com
Travel & On-the-go Organisation
Some tips for when you travel but still want to be a fabulous lady
I like how this just unfolds on the table top and stands.
Parallelle | Arrive Organized | Unzip & Unfold
I do like keeping my brushes separate so that it's easier to wash but if you want to travel light, then the travel bag alone would suffice.
Hermitshell Hard Travel Case for Makeup Brushes
This is for your handbag and may I suggest that 1 essential item to put in be sunscreen?
Mini Makeup Bag - Amazon.com
This is if you don't have small bottles of your toiletries and need to transfer from your existing tubes etc.
Muslish 21 Pack Leak Proof Silicone Travel Bottles
My absolute favourite to bring when I travel overseas as there are so many hotel toilets that DO NOT have enough space or hooks. Just hang them and you can immediately grab your toiletries.
Hanging Toiletry Bag - Amazon.com
Clean Storage
For when you want to clean your makeup items or to keep your items clean.
I know that many would think that just leaving it on your counter to dry is good enough, which it is. However, once they're clean, where are you going to put them?
Makeup Sponge Holder, Breathable Blender Case
Honestly, you can use them not only for makeup brushes but also for paint brushes!
Drying Rack For Brushes - Amazon.com
Because cotton pads are dust magnets
Cotton Pad Container - Amazon.com
Personally, I don't quite like it but I added it to the list because there are people like my mum who just doesn't like to have exposed bottles etc
Dustproof Cosmetic Storage - Amazon.com
Discreet and useful
Sanitary Storage Containers - Amazon.com
Setup & Maintenance Helpers
Small add-ons that complete the whole organisation system
This is if you have a lot of accessories other than a simple hairdryer.
Hair Tool Cord Organizer - Amazon.com
Sometimes, having labels just reminds you what is kept inside especially if you don't use transparent containers
Label Stickers - Amazon.com
For small items that don't seem to have a ‘home’ or you will be using it often enough that you don't want to keep it stored all the time.
