Simple solutions to help calm the chaos of motherhood

15 Beautiful Makeup Organization Ideas

When we first moved into our house, my husband and I shared one very small bathroom with no counter space.

My makeup lived in a bag in the closet.

And I swore that when we finally renovated the walk-up attic into our dream master bedroom and bathroom, I would design a specific place where I could store my makeup.

Luxurious, I know!

And now that the upstairs is done, I do have a great space for makeup. So I decided to do a little research and see what kind of makeup organization ideas I could find. (Spoiler alert: I found some great ones!)

Take a look at what I found below. Which one is your favorite? Leave a number in the comments!

OK, let’s take a look at some of those makeup organization ideas I found!

This option is also available in pink, or with three drawers.

This drawer organizer was created to fit Ikea’s ALEX drawers.

No. 12

This collection is beautiful, and would provide plenty of storage space.

And let’s end with one last simple but beautiful drawer insert. (This one also fits into the Ikea Alex drawers.)

So which one would you go with? Decisions, decisions. Help me out and type the number of your favorite in the comments below.

    I like both 1 and 2. 1 because it is see through so you know at an instant what’s inside but I think 2 because it just seems so practical. My make up is not in view of anyone so looks aren’t that important to me.

    Bought No.1 and it’s great! Looks cute on my dresser and it holds my makeup and earrings. For twenty dollars, it’s worth it! If I run out of space, I’m definitely buying a second!
