DIY Makeup Organizer for a Cleaner Space
Get Creative and Organized
It’s true what they say: a girl can never have too much makeup. Like me, most girls are becoming obsessed with a wide array of palettes.
A makeup vanity is not a bad thing at all because it encourages us to be more creative. Besides, with all the beauty blogs, inventive products, and YouTube videos popping up, how can we resist?
Scattered makeup no more. It’s time to reclaim your space!
1. Clean Brush Holder
Repurpose an old drawer or mason jar as a brush holder to prevent bacteria from contaminating your brushes. Of course, you still will want to clean your brushes at least once a month (soap and water will do).
I would suggest you use a transparent jar so you can immediately find what you’re looking for. It saves you a great deal of time in the rush morning hours.

Turn a sushi holder into a DIY makeup brush organizer by adding an elastic band to hold the makeup brushes.
Do you love sushi just as much as you like makeup? If your answer is yes, then I’m sure you have a sushi bamboo roller at home you can use for this project.

4. DIY Storage Box Makeup Organizer
Avoid throwing away old storage boxes since they can still be repurposed into cute makeup organizers.

7. Makeup Drawer
Dedicate one of your drawers as the makeup drawer and go one step further by adding DIY organizers such as used canisters. You can also cut up empty shoeboxes and rummage through your extra office supplies to create the perfect DIY makeup drawer organizer for all your smaller makeup products, like liner, sponges, and single eyeshadow shades.
8. Wire Baskets
These gorgeous wire baskets are the best decorative makeup storage for makeup palettes. Although often used for storing books, magazines, and other things that need to be stored and displayed at the same time, these two-tiered baskets can protect your precious palettes really well.
9. Magnetic Makeup Boards
Turn an old picture frame into a makeup display by attaching it to a magnetic board. This will save you a lot of counter space and will even give your room an added makeup presentation decor.
Plus, you can easily pick up and put back the makeup product you’re using.

You can even use it as your jewelry organizer. Wherever you go, just roll it with you!
Beauty products we buy are an investment. It’s the primary reason why we should give our skincare and makeup products the TLC it deserves.

Turn old and unused things into something useful. Repurpose and recycle ladies, it’s good for the environment too!
