My makeup is dumped in a bag at the moment it gets covered in powder and I can never find what I want so end up with too much stuff in there.

How have you got yours organised and where did you get your storage from?

Haha I've got some in a shoebox, some in a small drawer set, some in a make up bag etc etc....

Mix of acrylic storage similar to this www.beautify.co.uk/bt_en/makeup-storage/makeup-organiser-with-4-drawers but I got mine in TK Maxx. Have one for lipsticks, nail polishes and one for a multi use for brushes, shadows, mascara etc and big pots of powder/foundation sit in the deepest one of these www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/respiin/respiin-tall-jute-basket-set---ocean/?PCode=DSGPESS15&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI84yx7Jr_6QIVR7TtCh144AEGEAQYAiABEgKhZvD_BwE

I have a selection of clear acrylic storage boxes from Primark, from £1.00 each.

This is one of them. I also have a larger one with different size sections.

It lives in a basket. If I'm lucky, my toddler doesn't totally destroy it.

It's the top basket from a set of seagrass drawers from Wilko. It is in no way organised at all!

Hi. I don't have a huge amount... I don't wear foundation; just some concealer and bronzing powder. I have two eyeshadows; one for the week and one for "going out". Two mascaras; again one for the week and one for going out! Lip liner and eyebrow pen. My brushes live in my top drawer along with my nail polishes. And the rest lives in a mirrored jewellery box.

I have one of these with a pot on top for brushes. They're deep enough to put palates in sideways so they don't take up a full drawer!

I have an IKEA malm dressing table and cutlery inserts inside (maybe stodja? Not sure)

There is about 2 inchs at the back of the drawer which are slightly harder to reach, but still accessible. I put my lesser used stuff at the back, tissues, spare sponges etc.
