Makeup organization will help you take better care of your cosmetics and apply makeup faster. Here are four simple steps for makeup organization.
A gal's makeup bag can get a little scary if you don't take the time for makeup organization every six months. We're busy in the morning and putting every eye shadow and every brush in the right order just doesn't happen everyday. By clearing out the old and a little organization skills from me, it will make life a little simpler.
- Group like cosmetics together. A simple way to get started is to divide everything into sections, lips, eyes, bronzer/blush, face products, cosmetic tools. This is a great way to store your makeup in your bathroom or at your makeup counter. If you only use a few products of each, group them in makeup bags. I have a shelf or drawer for my items.
- Examine the products. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Does it have an odor?
- Do you wear it and have you worn it in the past 3 months?
- Does it look good on you? I know that one sounds funny, but how many women do you know that is hanging on to a lipstick even though they hate it and never wear it? Yeah, I can think of five off the top of my head too.
- How old is it? Aged cosmetics are not good for anyone.
- Clean everything. Clean your compacts, your makeup bags, cosmetics tools, any place that you keep your cosmetics and your cosmetics themselves. Makeup dust goes everywhere and over time builds up. It will be a little bit of a shock when you first see your compacts looking brand new again.
- Make a list. Make a list of products you are running low on or need to replace. A beauty list to shop with will make it easier for you to run in and get exactly what you need.
