What do you store your makeup in?

Question

I use 3 different bags to keep my makeup in.

One is for my everyday makeup, the other for makeup I rarely use, and the third is makeup that is practically brand new that I don't use but I don't want to just throw it away.

I want to store all my makeup in the same bag or box. I don't like to keep it seperate cause then I forget about the other stuff I have and end up never using it. I havent seen anything at the stores big enough and still cute that is worth buying.

What do you store your makeup in?

My problem is Im just an organize freak! I don't want it to look junky but I want to have everything right there in front of me.

::sigh::

Answer 1

one of those kiddish makeup boxes for some of the foundation, brushes, concealor, some lipgloss, lipstick, and eyeshadow. also a few bright and black colored eyeliner.

i use a lot of those makeup bags you can get at macys for buying over a certain amount of makeup or money. i mean why spend soo much on a makeup bag, besides its good to change the bags and boxes once every so often to keep the germs out and from entering your makeup. the tyra show once aired a woman who hasn`t changed her makeup box since she was 13 and she is like 20 something, there were microscopic worms and other bacteria growing from the box and the make up also the brushes. that is why i don`t spend that much money on the make up bags or boxes because you need to change them in order to be risk-free of the bacteria that can cause problems to your face! so my advice is that you should just see what macys is promoting right now and see if you need something from like clinique, mac, christian dior, or whatever and spend that amount written on the paper and get the make up bag. that is what i do and i think that it is much better to buy the make up you need, get the make up bag from spending that money, and save a lot. no need to get the juicy couture make up boxes, the max you should use one is like one year.

Answer 2

I have a good-sized bag from BeneFit that I keep in my bathroom. Yes, it's full!

I have some extra stuff I don't wear often in a drawer in my bedroom vanity. I put stuff of one color group (like eye makeup by color) in a Ziploc bag so it's easy to find it when I need it, and if I decide I want to wear blue eyeshadow, I have all my different kinds right there, no forgetting about it.

I also don't keep my lip stuff in my everyday makeup bag. I keep it in a smaller bag in my purse.

Answer 3

Hi i do exactly the same as you, but when ever i do get a big enough vanity case i put all my make up toghether but then i cant stand having them all toghther messed up, Them if i do get a vanity case with compartment in its too small, They dont make any bigger, at the moment, i have them all serpeated in to different make up bags. But you can keep the bags in a big tub like a bread box and design it to makeit look good.
