Why Use A Makeup Organiser?
One word: convenience! Makeup isn’t something that you can stack up in one corner like shoes – it often comes in tiny little tubes of VERY expensive stuff that’s prone to rolling away, falling off, or just downright vanishing when you need it most.
Fortunately, there are a ton of great makeup organisers to keep everything in check! You can even DIY a brush holder yourself with a bit of handywork and some and cheap wooden palettes.
If you’re looking to buy one though, there are a lot of different designs you can choose from. Some organisers are for lipstick, while others can hold all your foundation in neat little drawers. Whatever your beauty regimen is, there’s an organiser that can help keep it (and by extension, you) together.
Best of all, these organisers aren’t that hard to find. Kmart, Big W, Target, and eBay all stock a beauty organiser or two – you can even use Afterpay to make purchases easier. Even Reject Shop has a few acrylic organisers that can do in a pinch! But for those people that want something built to last, it’s best to look for independent providers (see below).
