Now that you have removed the clutter of old and unused products, and sanitized everything to like-new condition, your logical next step will be to organize everything. My recommendation: purchase a train case from a cosmetic supply company to store everything, or get clear plastic trays where everything can be easily found.Start by dividing your products by type and color. I like to separate EYES, LIPS, FACE, and NAILS into separate trays, so everything can be found with ease. Within these trays, organize by color and subcategory: Keep all eyeshadows together, eyeliners, and mascara together, blushes, concealers, and bronzers should also be kept together. If you have as much make-up as I do, you can further subdivide into powder vs cream makeup within your subcategories. You may find it helpful to color-code your makeup, as most brands don't utilize transparent packaging. I recommend getting small white round labels and adhering them to the visible portion of the container and them applying a sample of the makeup onto the label. Spray with hair spray to avoid smudging and further mess.Get a washable fabric brush organizer that you can roll up and store with your makeup. This will keep their shape and maintain cleanliness of brushes.A few MUST HAVES for organizing your makeup:SEPHORA Metro Train Case in Gunmetal CrocBoth stylish and utilitarian, this way all of your cosmetics will be easily accessible and organized!$110 Sephora Stores www.sephora.comTASMERAH Makeup OrganizersKeeps everything organized in great see-though bags.$39-$43 Alcone Company www.alconeco.comJAPONESQUE Custom Lip Palette KitAllows you to rescue those bits of lipstick taking up space in your kit, and add them perfectly into a compact palette.$18 - Japonesque www.japonesque.com
