How to Properly Store Your Makeup Collection
Shopping for new makeup products is often more fun than
organizing them. Bring order to your chaotic collection by applying these
helpful strategies.
Declutter to help streamline
The first step to establishing order to your makeup mayhem
is to eliminate expired or unused products. However, even if a product hasn’t
reached its expiration date and you’re not using it, it’s best to give it to a
friend. That way it doesn’t take up precious space in your makeup collection
that could be occupied by a product you actually do use — like your arsenal of
LipSense® shades.
Organize by occasion
One great way to arrange your makeup is by occasion. Place
products you use on a daily basis in an accessible place. Next, group products
that you rarely use into a “special occasion” category. For instance, if you
tend to use EyeSense® Shimmer and LashSense® VolumeIntense™ Waterproof Mascara
only for special date nights, consider storing them in this product group.
If you have quite a few duplicate products, you might
consider designating a storage space labeled “duplicates.” And don’t forget
travel-sized makeup items, like Abundance by SeneGence® Travel Trio. Keep
rollerballs and other small products in a zip clutch so they’ll be easy to find
and ready to transport on your next trip.
Sort by type
Another excellent way to store cosmetics is by type. Systemize
items into categories like lip products, eyeshadows, mascaras, foundations and
powders. For example, group LipSense® colors, Gloss and LinerSense® Lip Liner
together. You could also store BlushSense® and SeneDerm® Translucid Loose
Powders together. This will save time spent fumbling through different
containers or drawers when completing each stage of your makeup application.
Brushes and makeup cleaners
Don’t forget to designate a specific place for makeup
brushes and cleaners. Teacups and candleholders from the dollar store or thrift
store work well for storing these items. Besides brushes, these storage
components can also accommodate your SenseCosmetics® Brush Cleaner. And there’s
a side bonus of organizing your brushes and cleaner in one prominent place: It
will help you remember to wash your brushes once a week, keep them looking and
feeling new for longer.
Organizing systems
How you sort cosmetics is entirely based on preference and
the amount of space you have available for your collection. If your bathroom
counter or vanity tabletop is tight on space, a rotating vertical organizer
might work best for you. Another solution is to invest in a utility cart with
three storage tiers for different product groups. If you house makeup in the
bathroom medicine cabinet, try incorporating small risers to double the storage
space for each shelf of the cabinet. Hanging organizers are easy to fasten to
the back of a bathroom or closet door to easily compartmentalize products, too.
By implementing these tips, you’re well on your way to
enjoying an orderly cosmetic collection. You’ll also save yourself some time
spent rummaging through crowded drawers for your favorite shade of
ShadowSense®.
