First Step:


Collect all your makeup


Throw away any makeup that is cracked, old, or broken.


Throw away makeup that you do not use





Second Step:


Clean all the leftover makeup


Gently clean your brushes by soaking them in hot soapy water for ten minutes and air drying





Third Step:


Once dry, separate your makeup. Brushes with brushes, eyeshadows with eyeshadows....ect...





Fourth Step:


Take your brushes and put them in a pretty cup.


Take the rest of your separated makeup and place them in clear storage boxs/makeup cases/plastic bags.





Lastly:


Take the bags of makeup and place them in a clear box made to hold makeup in.(Found at Ulta/Sephora/Walgreens)

I like little retro trinket boxes and such. I have one i throw all of my lip products into - glosses, lipsticks, liners, brushes. The other has all of my eye products including tools - ie:shadow, liner, mascara, tweezers, eyelash curler brushes etc. If you have extra makeup brushes and things like sponges, nail clippers, and anything that can sort of stand up, i have these sweet little japanese tea cups (they have no handles) and stand the rest up in them so they're easy to get to and not tangled.





It all depends on the room you have and how you want it sorted :)





EDIT: Every few months do a spring clean. The general tip i have learned so you don't buy too much makeup, is to go through everything, and pick out your number one priority products (favourite eyeshadow, favourite lipstick etc) and put them all together in one place while you're sorting. Then the rest of the products, check the shelf life, if any are almost run out, looking yuck, over the shelf life, smell funny, or you haven't used them in 3-6 months, throw them out. Any remaining products can be put back with your favourites.





Oh same goes for your toiletries as well (perfumes, moisturisers etc)
well, i have this issue. i absolutely adore makeup and buy new things like once a week. anyways, i keep my brushes in the case they came in(like when you buy them as a set) or, if i have individuals, i keep them in a mug. so i can see each brush. then, i have a clear stacked drawer-from target-its small and goes three high and i keep mascaras in the top, foundations in the bottom and random shadows and liners in the middle. then i have a little basket i keep lipgloss in. i keep my face products in one makeup bag and my eyeshadows in another.
i have so many make up bags filled up, but i cleaned up my bathroom the other day and bought this little plastic baskets, and i put my makeup in those and put them underneath the sink, and the makeup i use the most i keep it in a makeup bag.. i am so glad i did that, too.. ;)
get a caboodle from a drugstore like cvs





if you have some more cash, get a makeup organizer from sephora. they have good ones. they look like train cases.





or if you are strapped for cash, buy a fishing tackle box. this actually works well.
Try using a make up case for the stuff you use most frequently and the rest in a bascket or a drawer
Try buying a make up kit.........
dont buy any
