Get Organized!: Makeup

From make up to school supplies there are so many things that need organization. If you are anything like us here at B&G Designs, we have way too many things and it is nearly impossible to keep them all organized. This post is starting off our 'Get Organized!' series where we will share our tips and tricks on organizing almost every part of your life!

We are going to start with makeup. Many of us use it and have much more than we will ever use or run out of. How on earth can we organize it in a way where you can find everything you need when you need it?

If you love to craft, like most of us do, a magnetic make-up board might be the thing for you. As pictured (right), you can customize it and completely make it your own. This is a super handy way to not only organize, but see all the make-up you have without digging through numerous drawers. This is a simple way to increase your counter and drawer space which is especially essential when living in smaller housing, such as dorms or apartments, as a young adult. Even though the picture does not show this, to save even more counter space, buy a cup or pencil holder, add magnets to one side and use it to keep all of your make-up brushes on your board! These boards are definitely a popular pin on Pinterest and can make getting ready in the morning much easier! If you're interested in making your own, you can find instructions here.

If counter space is not much of an issue for you (jealous!), then this counter top organizer (left) might be a great option! While this does take up some space, it seems like it is one of the best ways to keep everything organized and in one place. With something as simple as this you can keep your eyeshadows separate from your lip glosses and your foundation separate from your mascara. This type of organization also makes everything easy to see. Having a place for everything will keep your counters tidy and make getting ready much easier.
These are only two suggestions on how to organize your makeup and are definitely not the only options. Depending on what space you have available and how large your collection is something else might work better. Hopefully this inspired you to get creative with your organization and will make your life easier!
