Organization creates efficiency and control, this applies to any situation, a desk, a job site, a kitchen, and it also applies to your cosmetic vanity. Keeping your cosmetics organized will keep you in control of knowing where you keep specific products, as well as efficiency by not having to look for that specific Lilith lip tint in a drawer filled with many scattered lip tints.
The first thing you need to keep your cosmetics organized is a vanity, this will keep your cosmetic products away from other general products such as cleaning products, bath products and kitchen products. It is essential to keep your cosmetic products away from other general products for sanitary purposes, as well as keeping them away from children and pets.
Now that you have a vanity specifically for your cosmetics, the next step is to separate your cosmetic products by sections, this will help you keep control of knowing where you keep specific products on your cosmetic vanity, a good example would be to keep lip products together, eye products on one side, eyebrow products on the other, powder products next to each other and brushes can be placed next to the cosmetic product that they are used for to avoid using the same brush on two different cosmetic products.
Brushes should always be kept in their original packaging if they are brand new, if the brushes have been used then it's always better to keep them in a brush cup, this will prevent damage to the brush fibers as well as avoiding powder mess around your vanity.
You can also organize your cosmetic products in the order of which products you use first, and the ones you use last for better efficiency. For example, if you usually do your lips first, eyes second, and cheek powder third, then you would organize your cosmetic products in that same order for more consistency.
Now that you have your cosmetic products organized in sections and in the order that you use them, the last suggestion is to organize each cosmetic product category by placing the products you use the most at the front row and the ones you least use in the back. For example, if you're the type of person that uses your bloody tints almost every day and your lip glosses on special occasions, then you will keep your bloody lip tints in the first row and your fairy lip gloss bundle on the second row for better efficiency.
These are only a few ideas on how to keep your cosmetic products organized, keeping the area clean and returning the products to their original spot after being used is also essential to keeping your vanity organized. Keeping your cosmetic products organized will help you feel motivated to create art on your complexion, and can even give your products a longer shelf life at times.
