Re: NPR: How do you organize your makeup?
I don't
I'd like to see the responses.
I have it in several make up bags. The stuff that I use daily is in one bag and the rest are separated by what type of make up it is and how often I use it.
I have a three drawer plastic thing under my sink. Top drawer is lips, middle drawer is eyes, and bottom drawer is face. It's kept me SUPER organized over the years. I wouldn't have it any other way.
LOVE the siggy of the girls!

It's all in one medium sized Kate Spade makeup bag that can be zipped up and packed to take on a trip if needed. There's some random stuff thrown into the drawer that I keep it in, but it's not stuff I use daily.
First, I don't have a ton. I got rid of anything that I don't use and don't accumulate things I won't use (like free gifts and extras). I keep it all in a basket on a shelf in my bathroom. Compacts (eyeshadows, blushes, etc.) are all in a row on one side, a couple of cups (like bathroom cups) hold my brushes, liners and mascara and make-up, powder, etc. all go into their "spot" in the basket.
Lipsticks are all in a small make-up bag in my purse along with a powder compact. That's all I carry with me.
I did this recently and its not only made me use more of what I have since its now organized and easy to find but its made my life easier.
I have 3 large sterilite containers that have 3 drawers each. So I use that.
I have eyes/lips/face/skincare/nail stuff separated out into 6 of those. Then I have the last three with stuff I use together on a regular basis. Then I keep what I use daily in two little black ceramic bowls (matches our bathroom) and keep all of my brushes in a glass that has white and black designs on it (again matches our bathroom).
Ok, so I thought I was being funny re: the Caboodle..but I just googled it and apparently they still make them.
Oh well. I tried.
I have one of those, too. It works great, and is easy to clean out, too.
