Fond of buying makeup? Does every new makeup launch find its place of glory in your kitty? Odds are high that you have boxes, drawers and containers full of makeup products that have dried up, gathered dust and passed their expiry dates.

In all likelihood, a large makeup collection full of wasted products is as good as having no makeup at all, because you wouldn’t want acne, breakouts and skin infections.

So make it a point to upgrade your makeup and store your collection correctly. Here’s a list of makeup storage ideas to get rid of your makeup clutter, save space, and prevent wastage.

Store It Correctly

Makeup collection and storage is easier said than done. Your job does not end when you buy that fancy eyeliner bottle or that shiny lip crayon. On the contrary, your job of maintaining its shelf life has just begun. Store your mascaras vertically, keeping the wand facing downward. The same rule applies for liquid eyeliners. Lipsticks should be made to sit in a box, and not roll across a drawer.

 Buy Compact Makeup Collections

Instead of purchasing tiny tidbits of makeup from departmental stores, try to buy makeup collections that come in a single package. If your favourite brand launches a new line-up of eye shadows or a bridal makeup collection, you’d be doing the right thing by buying it. Investing in collections helps save space in your closet and some bucks in your wallet.

Check The Expiry Date

Every makeup product comes with an expiry date. Even if you cannot locate the date, the rule of thumb says that lipsticks have a lifespan of a year, while eyeliners and mascaras should be replaced every three months. Your makeup brushes can serve you for three months without a wash, no more than that.

 Try Storage Hacks

Bring home makeup storage boxes with transparent lids so you can see what’s inside when you’re searching for a particular product. You can even try DIY makeup collection ideas and storage hacks like labelling, using separators to create sections in boxes and applying colour coding to keep everything handy.

 Make Smart Purchases

Gradually upgrading your makeup collection is one of the smartest makeup storage ideas. And by an upgrade, we do not mean stocking up your closet with fancy products in quick succession. Once you throw off old makeup, get new ones that combine the benefits of multiple products. For instance, a lip and cheek stain omits the need to buy two separate products like a lip balm and a blush.

See how easy it is to get your makeup organized? Put these makeup collection storage ideas to use and forget about the woes of missing lipsticks and expired concealers when you need them the most. Start by throwing away the old and replacing with the new. Shop for make up products online!
