Allure
At Allure, we know what it's like to keep products tidy. Heck, we have more makeup and fragrance at our desks than pens and paperclips. In honor of the notion of spring cleaning, we're sharing makeup artist Mally Roncal's tips on how to keep your collection at home orderly.
[post_ads]Divide the space. To keep your cosmetics separated into categories, Roncal recommends Lucite makeup trays with partitions or plastic silverware dividers placed inside a drawer. Try to group your makeup into day and evening looks within these organizers. When you're in a hurry, you don't want your smoky eyes palette mixed in with your basic beige shadow.
Stash your scents. Perfume should never be stored in direct sunlight—the heat can break down the ingredients and ruin the fragrance. Instead, tuck bottles inside your lingerie drawer (the scent will perfume your underthings, too).
Protect your tools. Keep your makeup brushes standing in a jar with the bristles up, or slide them into brush rolls, pieces of soft cloth similar to what chefs use to protect knives from dust. Every two weeks, wash the bristles with baby shampoo, followed by conditioner to make them nice and soft.

Downsize. You can make your own mini-size versions of your favorite products by filling plastic containers from a beauty-supply store with foundations or powders. This way, you won't have to dismantle your newly organized system every time you need a little touch-up.
