What you do will depend on your set up and how you like to do things. I have a cgest height cabinet in the bathroom that's organised with plastic bins. Of the two in particular, one has serums, oils and lotions, etc., the other has make up. So I pop one bin on top of the cabinet, then the other. I'm very near sighted so i like to be able to stand right up to the mirror, and i like to do my routine in the bathroom so i can wash my hands.

I love the Alex drawers from IKEA. I have skincare in one, bases , lips, eyes all have their own drawer. I keep all my palettes (so many palettes!) in the drawer of the IKEA dressing table. Makes getting ready so much easier.

I have 2 Ikea malm bedside drawers that are stacked one on top of the other and each drawer has a different product in it. All organised in aww through makeup bags.

Mine lives in a small make-up bag that alternates between my dressing table and the passenger seat in the car. I also have two lipsticks in my handbag and two on my desk.

Probably irrelevant as my make-up consists of a foundation, concealer, mascara, blusher and powder. I have an eyeliner and a 10 year old triple eye shadow for special occasions.

They were in a drawer in one of those plastic divided trays ( either from Ikea or Primark IIRC) and the pencils+brushes in small pots .
Now in the top drawer of ,my new wardrobe with some nifty divided boxes .

I don;t have a lot of make-up and I;m scrupulous at mascara only being used for 3 months .

In a drawer in my bedside table.

I don’t have a dressing table (yet!) so everything is stored in my top 3 drawers that live in the wardrobe. Quite handy as the door that slides is mirrored so I can stand in front of the mirror and grab what I need out of the drawers and shove it on. I can do my face in less than 2 minutes, have no idea what I would do that could take longer - my lovely niece spends an hour a day doing her face! What?! How?! 😂

A small make-up bag on top of my bathroom cabinet, for everyday stuff. Special occasion stuff takes up a v small part of one drawer.

I have the IKEA malm dressing table with a long drawer that fits all my make up and hair stuff in small tubs. Prior to this I had small plant pots on a shelf with makeup in, one for lips, one for eyes etc.

I have the see-through stackable drawers from boots plus a makeup caddy thing for my favoured/everyday items.

Usually ends up all over the place though as I have far too much stuff!
