1. Quirky's cosmetics makeup organizer is so simple and so cool — its grippy silicone base lets you stick brushes and tubes in any configuration.
2. Have a lot of eyeshadow compacts or pots running your vanity amok? You can apparently get perfectly sized acrylic organizers for that.
3. How soothing will it be once you have all your lipsticks lined up in their lipstick-shaped spaces?
4. If you don't have a ton of products, consider hunting down vintage vanity accessories on Etsy.
5. If your aesthetic is more modern, Etsy is also a good resource for handmade wood makeup holders.
The above examples are from Etsy seller Less & More; their goods range in price from about $60 to $140.
6. Clear drawers are really the best way to organize your makeup — depending on the configuration, you can have spaces for lip glosses, shadows, and compacts. Plus, you can see them all.
7. If you're seriously overloaded on products, try organizing by type/color in a clear shoe holder.
8. A nifty way to hide hair dryers and other hair tools: an under-sink caddy.
9. If you have a ton of eyeliners and pencils, one way to organize them is to stick them in a travel makeup brush kit.
10. Toothpaste squeezers (which also work on lotion and foundation bottles) will help you avoid crossover and clutter — this way you won't end up with a replacement product and the old one you're still trying to get a few drops out of.
11. Who says you can't organize your nail polishes like you live in a profesh salon? CERTAINLY NOT THE CONTAINER STORE.
12. But then again, if you'd rather keep your polishes out of sight, thread and craft organizers can actually do the trick.
13. If you're always knocking things over on your vanity, try a spinning makeup tower — no more reaching in between products.
14. Keep your tools separate from your makeup. This well-proportioned box is literally the perfect size for cotton swabs, pads, and makeup sponges.
