4. GRUNDTAL Rail and Containers
The GRUNDTAL rail and containers may be a staple in the kitchen, but it is by no means just going to stay there! We love the rail and container combo for makeup storage as well.
Put your makeup brushes there, your eyebrow grooming kit, or anything you need to quickly access. Best of all, it saves a lot of table space!

The IKEA GODMORGON box with containers is the ideal make-up storage for those tiny goodies like lipsticks, lip balms, and eye pencil. You can also store some of your makeup palettes there.

I went to IKEA a few months ago and I’ve bought tons of SKURAR plant pots. It’s not just for my miniature plants but I use it for my makeup brushes, combs, pens, and what-not.
These plant pots are so cute for makeup organization and so versatile—I just can’t get enough!

If you have wall shelves, then the KOMPLEMENT drawer with a glass front is a good makeup storage idea for you. It’s the standard size, so it’s most likely to fit any wall shelf at home.
What I really like about this one is the glass front as it helps see the items easier. It’s ideal for makeup organization and the perfect addition to your makeup room.
8. SOCKER Plant Pot with Holder
What’s with plant pots and makeup brushes? IKEA has another set of plant pots which makes great makeup brushes storage as well.
While the SKURAR is cuter than this SOCKER plant pots set, this doubles as a cosmetic organizer and is best for people who really need several containers for their brushes all placed in one holder. A must-have to keep your makeup table clutter-free.
9. RASKOG Utility Cart

Using a picture ledge as makeup storage is another ingenious idea. This RIBBA picture ledge is great for storing your favorite China Glaze nail polish.
In my case, I use it for my lipsticks! This way, I can see my lipstick haul together, access them quickly, and save space on my tabletop and drawers.
