Today, under the heading of storage ideas, I want to discuss how it is convenient to place such important thing like cosmetics. The topic is not idle, but very, very urgent: after all, how well you fit tubes / boxes / jars into your life will also depend on the emotions with which you will approach the issue of hygiene and beauty in the morning. Proper placement of cosmetics helps save time and simplifies the procedure for personal care.

Means for hygiene and care

Let's start with the products that we are used to using in the bathroom: shampoos, balms, conditioners, shower gels, body scrubs.

The idea of ​​storing tubes on a bar with clothespins or clips seemed interesting and comfortable to me. Opened - squeezed out the right amount of funds - closed. No the usual tubes falling off the side of the bath, no shelves soiled with the remnants of products. Clean, compact, comfortable.

The next idea attracted me with the opportunity to save space in the bathroom. For those who have a very small shower or bathroom, this storage method will come in handy. Organizer made of pliable synthetic material will not take up a single centimeter of extra space in the bathroom, but will only modestly sit right on the splash guard rod. The advantage of such an organizer is that it passes water and moisture will not linger in the pockets. In addition, it is transparent and everything that is stored in it is immediately visible, which is very convenient.

But this decision was a complete surprise for me and very pleased. A beautiful fruit stand, it turns out, can be perfectly adapted for cosmetics. The only but: the option is not for those who are cramped in space in the bathroom. However, with the same success, you can use fruit bowls on cosmetic tables in another room.

Decorative cosmetics

Now let's talk about the most commonly numerous things that can cover 90% of all horizontal surfaces in the house of a real fashionista. Of course, we will talk about our favorite - decorative cosmetics.

I know many examples where decorative cosmetics kept in the bathroom. I want to warn you against this mistake! Makeup products lose their qualities very quickly or can even deteriorate from moisture and high temperatures. Color cosmetics are best stored in dry, well-ventilated areas where the air temperature does not drop below zero or rise above 25 degrees Celsius. If you live in a very hot climate, it makes sense to consider storing oily and liquid textures in a refrigerator where the air temperature is about 4-5 degrees above zero.

It's great if you have a separate area for applying makeup, with a large, well-lit mirror, where a cosmetic table and / or chest of drawers is conveniently located. Then cosmetics can be folded into special acrylic vertical organizers directly on the table or into horizontal organizers on the chest of drawers.

Acrylic horizontal organizers are easy to replace with regular cutlery dividers.

Let's say that there is no separate cosmetic table and is not expected - then you will like the following option for compact and convenient placement of makeup tools on the wall or other vertical surface (on the side of the cabinet, on the door).

This is a homemade magnetic board. Its great advantage is also the fact that you can create a design according to your own taste and in the color scheme of your room. True, the manufacture of such a board is likely to require skilled male hands. But a woman can do it, if desired! 😉

We buy a magnetic board in a store like “Everything for the office” right size, in the fabric store choose beautiful fabric, order a baguette or purchase a ready-made frame for a picture.We carefully fit the magnetic board with a cloth, fix the fabric with glue, a glue gun, furniture studs, pushpins, or just a furniture stapler and staples. Then, we nail a frame to the board, and the most advanced can also attach cups for brushes and other accessories to the board.

In order for the boxes with cosmetics to be securely magnetized to the board, you need to glue a regular magnet to each of them (you can buy it at a craft store or order it in small wholesale on the Internet).That's all! A wonderful author's design organizer for your tools and cosmetics is ready!

Another simple and compact way to store cosmetics is a spice rack.

It can also be made based on the color scheme of your home, if you cover the shelf with paint of the desired shade. You can even paint it with any ornaments and stick decor - feel free to connect your imagination!

Those who are starting a global renovation and are fond of the idea of ​​​​built-in furniture may like the following option for storing cosmetics. The sliding shelves of the built-in cabinet allow you to see all the contents and reach for any jar or tube. And when necessary, the shelves disappear behind the cabinet door and the room is again minimalist and clean.

The next two photos are about compactness and convenience. A large amount of cosmetics can be placed in the hanging organizer, which will be perfectly visible and, if necessary, put away in the closet with a deft hand movement - ideal for small spaces.

In the photo on the right, I really liked the idea of ​​one long shallow drawer under the table for storing cosmetics. All funds are located in one layer, everything is immediately visible and easy to get and just as easy to hide. Organizers are well placed in the drawer and all funds can be sorted by color, type and purpose.

And here's something else about drawers... Look how simple and elegant you can equip a small drawer with just beautiful lace and upholstery studs. A decision fit for a Queen! Now your bottles and any vertical containers will not roll around inside the space and annoy with eternal ringing and confusion.

A non-standard solution seemed to me to store palettes with cosmetics in a vertical position. It is noteworthy that for this a basket mesh is used for paper napkins, in which all the names of the palettes are easily viewed, which is undoubtedly very convenient!

And the idea of ​​using a dish drying rack as a stand for cosmetic palettes seems to me just a masterpiece! 🙂 Although, of course, not as compact as in the previous case.

Brushes and other makeup tools

The question of where and how best to store makeup brushes arises for many of us. We have already decided that in a typical bathroom, where it is very humid and hot, we do not store cosmetics. And this means that the tools with which we apply this cosmetics have no place in the bathroom. And, as I said, it is ideal if it is a separate cosmetic table near a well-lit mirror. or a magnetic board with a cup for brushes and accessories.

It is very convenient to store brushes in cups. In the photo above, you can also see stands for flower pots from Ikea - I think it’s also very pretty!

It will be even more convenient and beautiful if you place the brushes in transparent glass glasses, pouring beautiful colored pebbles, small strong shells, glass balls or even just cereals into them. Then the brushes will not pile up, each will stand separately from the other, which will save time looking for the right assistant. You can also use small aquariums for these purposes, as in the photo above.

The idea of ​​storing brushes and accessories in large glass candle holders seemed brilliant to me - very beautiful and convenient!

If you cover the vessel with a lid, the brushes will remain clean for a long time, as dust will not settle on them.

Important note! Suitable for vertical storageonly dry brushes!

In no case is it recommended to store wet brushes in this way, since the tool will quickly deteriorate from long contact of the base of the brush with water.

And here's how you can use magnetic tape if you fix it on a wall or on a cabinet door. If you decide to make a magnetic organizer board for cosmetics, then invisibles, hairpins, tweezers and spikes will simply be held on its surface without additional devices.

And finally, two more brilliant ideas - a spice shelf as a multi-tiered perfume stand and a wine stand as a container for various voluminous bottles and bottles - varnishes, mousses, sprays.

As you can see, there are many ways to conveniently and beautifully organize space for storing any amount of cosmetics, even in the smallest apartment.

Even if there are not very many beauty products, they are often stored in a cosmetic bag in complete disarray. As a result, a lot of time is spent searching for the right tubes and brushes, and the funds themselves quickly become unusable. To make the process of creating makeup more convenient, everything should find its place.

General rules for organizing and storing cosmetics

How carefully you handle cosmetics, its safety depends entirely. If you are not used to folding everything neatly, leaving jars and cases in random places that are absolutely not intended for storing beauty products, there is a chance that they will lose their properties and deteriorate faster than they promise.

Cosmetics should be kept in the dark (at a minimum, direct sunlight should not fall on it). Sun rays and light near incandescent lamps) and dry; it is important to ensure that it is not subjected to temperature extremes. You can put everything in a convenient cosmetic bag and store it on the dressing table.

However, not everyone manages to keep order in it. Especially if the funds are a whole collection. Therefore, it makes sense to think about a shelf, a box or a special organizer in which everything will be laid out according to a certain principle - it is easier to look for what you need and keep track of the expiration date.

Where to store cosmetics if there is no dressing table?

Having a separate table with a large mirror, drawers for cosmetics and other little things is what many girls dream of. However, not everyone can afford to add them to their interior. So, for cosmetics you have to look for other places of storage.

A modest supply of beauty products can fit in a cosmetic bag, but this is not a universal solution. For those who have skin care creams on different cases life, a wide variety of palettes, lipsticks and pencils, this option will not work.

Pay attention to professional cases - inside there are many compartments and pockets in which it is convenient to place tools of various formats. In addition, they are closed, which guarantees the storage of cosmetics in a dark place - in accordance with all the rules.

You can not hide cosmetics inside such boxes, but pick up transparent containers with shelves and compartments for packages of different sizes and shapes.

If you have a free shelf or drawer that can be fully dedicated to beauty products, you can put small boxes there, filling each of them with products sorted by type.

Can cosmetics be stored in the bathroom?

The bathroom closet seems like a convenient place to store cosmetics. However, you can leave there only cleansers and makeup removers - these are micellar water, gels and foams.

Perhaps only they are able to withstand the constant change in temperature and humidity; other means can simply deteriorate.

Can cosmetics be stored in the refrigerator?

This is usually not necessary. But you can leave in the refrigerator, for example, creams for the area around the eyes, so that they tone the skin and better relieve morning puffiness.

But oil products should not be stored in the cold, on the contrary, their texture can change under the influence of low temperatures, and not for the better.

As for decorative cosmetics, they have no place in the refrigerator at all. It is believed that cold can extend the shelf life of beauty products, but this is more likely to apply to care products - first of all, with an organic composition.

How to store decorative cosmetics of different types?

• Products with a dry texture - powder, blush, highlighter, eye shadow - are unpretentious and "live" the longest, because, unlike creams and gels, they do not provide a favorable environment for bacteria to multiply. The main thing is not to allow them to end up in a zone of high humidity. Otherwise, they may delaminate, which makes their application difficult. Other properties of these funds may also suffer.

• Cream products - primers, tonal foundations, proofreaders, concealers and other cosmetics of this kind are more sensitive to temperature changes and exposure to light. They definitely need to provide such a place for storage so that neither directed rays of light, nor moisture, nor hot air get there. Their impact will be more detrimental than in the case of dry products - cream ones can deteriorate very quickly.

• Concerning liquid funds(for example, nail polishes), all the same rules apply to them. True, if we talk about varnishes, then handling the bottle also plays a significant role. If you loosely close the lid and leave traces of varnish on the “neck” (they are best washed with acetone after each use), there is a risk that the product will quickly thicken and become unusable.

It is important not only to choose a place where to store cosmetics. You should also know something about the terms of its storage. The expiration date is often not equal to the allowable period of use of beauty products. To find out how long they can last after opening the package, look for the icon with the image of a jar with an open lid on it. The term is usually indicated on the jar - in the format 12M, 18M and so on.

Cosmetic storage hacks

Tassels

It is believed that ideally they should not come into contact with each other. Buy a pencil case with rubber bands to hold pencils and pens. Another option is to select a jar under the brushes and fill it with, for example, coffee beans to fix the brush handles in them.

Substrate

If you have already figured out the organization and storage of cosmetics and laid out the contents of your cosmetic bag in boxes and jars, put them on a special rubber pad. This will make it easier for you to clean your makeup drawer in case something breaks or spills.

improvised items

Another useful life hack: feel free to use even something that, it would seem, is not intended for this at all for storing cosmetics. In molds for ice, for example, it is quite possible to decompose small packages of mono-shadows.

And on the stand for wine bottles you can place tall bottles of hair products.

How to extend the shelf life of cosmetics?

• Do not throw away paper and plastic liners that close the “neck” of cosmetics jars - they prevent the penetration of air and moisture. Thanks to them, cosmetics will remain usable longer.

• Apply cream products not with your fingers, leaving bacteria and particles of sebum inside the jar, but with special spatulas.
• Tighten the lids of tubes, jars and vials.

• Give preference to cool places to store cosmetics. And those funds that, according to the rules, can be stored in the refrigerator, leave there.

Today I have prepared a post for you with makeup storage ideas. This topic is relevant for me, because I have a very small apartment space, and my husband has a lot more cosmetics than me, and we constantly compete and arrange fights to win back a piece of territory. In addition, we are not just talking about ease of storage and use, but also about home decor - everything can be arranged in such a way that it will not only be conveniently organized, but also additionally decorate the house! :3

14 Ingenious Makeup Storage Ideas

I advise you, in addition to the ideas described, to pay attention to the pictures with the options for organizing the storage of cosmetics that I have collected for you - they also have a lot of interesting ideas, so many that I'm just too lazy to describe everything: D

Transparency policy

When you're trying to cram all your makeup into drawers and cabinets, then trying to find the product you're looking for can be a flop. Use clear acrylic boxes (available from stores like IKEA) and you can "scan" each box for the lipstick you're looking for without having to dig through everything with a backhoe.

great divider

Special dividers for drawers can instantly organize the storage of cosmetics, and it will become much easier to find the necessary things. You can go further and divide your drawer into compartments, where all the items will be grouped by type (lipsticks with lipsticks, blush with blush, etc.).

Increased stickiness

If you don’t have a beauty board yet, then you can make it very easily with your own hands! Cover a sheet of metal with a black cloth and frame the whole structure, and then hang it on the wall. Glue small magnets to the bottoms of your jars and simply stick them to the board. You can also stick Velcro on the wall and on the bottoms of the jars. It is too great option so that cosmetics do not lie scattered around the perimeter of the apartment.

rainbow box

This ingenious idea for organizing cosmetics comes from a beauty blog. The Beauty Department. Decorate a simple shoebox with some pretty colorful wrapping paper and put your favorite nail polishes in it. In order to quickly navigate the bottles, do not forget to draw shades of varnishes on the caps. The easiest way to do this is to drop a drop of varnish from a bottle using, for example, a toothpick. Or take a lesson from the beauty department.

Dear heart bouquet

Do you want your brushes to be organized not only conveniently, but also beautifully? Fill a small vase with decorative stones, specially crafted glass, beads, glass beads, coffee beans, whatever your heart desires, and spread the tassels inside. "Filler" will perfectly keep the brushes at a distance from each other and they will be all in sight. In addition, such a "bouquet" will greatly decorate the dressing table: 3

We turn on ingenuity

The most inconvenient beauty items to store, as for me, are styling devices - hair dryers, curling irons, irons. And we store them most often in the bathroom. One of the most convenient ways to organize all this stuff so that nothing gets confused at hand is to make a holster of PVC pipes for each device, and attach them with reverse side cabinet doors. Here, you will probably need the help of male hands. Although, in principle, if you wish, you can cut the pipe yourself into segments of the desired length and attach everything to the holders that are most suitable for your locker. You can even organize some kind of "hooks" that will hold on to the edge of the door.

We are packing our bags!

Vintage suitcases are more and more often used by crafts geniuses as a variety of home furnishings and at home - these are pet beds, tables, drawers for storing things, etc. There is another way to use an old grandmother's suitcase - as a suitcase for cosmetics. You can fill it with the most used beauty products and open it when you do your make-up. And the rest of the time, he can sleep peacefully under the bed, without disturbing anyone.

Conquering new spaces

Alternatively, you can treat the organization of cosmetics storage more ergonomically, and even effectively use every centimeter of available space. For example, as in the case of organizing space for styling tools, you can organize acrylic holders in cabinets to get +10 cosmetic storage slots.

In limbo

Such "hanging" box-bags for storage of trifles are suitable not only for travel. They are also quite convenient to store cosmetics that you use from time to time. The transparency of materials will help to be visible to all means. Well, when you don’t need cosmetics, all this stuff can be rolled up and put in a closet.

Dust protection

The most annoying thing about storing brushes is dust. This problem can be easily solved by organizing a special container with a lid to store your favorite brushes. Just remember that they must be placed in such a container already dry.

The agony of perfectionists

If you are a perfectionist, then organizing the storage of cosmetics by color may be the ideal solution for you - all makeup products can be distributed by brand, and then by shade of brand products.

For beauty sectarians

If you consider yourself a beauty cultist (thanks for cool word@tanyasummer), maniacs and other beauty addicts, then transparent plastic shoe holders will definitely come in handy to organize all your wealth. And marking each pocket will give you a +50 search speed bonus.

It's time for beautiful jars!

If you, like me, do not like to throw away beautiful glass jars, in the expectation that "they will definitely come in handy", then their finest hour has come! We take them out of our kitchen cabinets and use them to organize brushes, pencils, mascara and everything long that is in your beauty assortment.

Delight for the eyes

If we are already talking about non-disposable jars, then super-beautiful perfume bottles in general are simply obliged to decorate your makeup-life! Do not hide them deep, but find a place for them among your jars, let them please the eye:3 Alternatively, you can create a small tray where your favorite makeup products and beautiful perfume bottles will be located.

Do not rush to throw away an unnecessary cardboard box. A little effort - and with our own hands we will transform it into a very beautiful and functional organizer for cosmetics or any other small things.

Women know that you can find a convenient organizer with compartments and several levels in almost any cosmetic department. The only problem is that you can’t call them budget, and the quality of plastic sometimes leaves much to be desired. Organizers quickly scratch and become, to put it mildly, unsightly.

A homemade organizer for small things is a completely different matter. If you cover the product with a durable fabric, it will last a very long time. In addition, you can decorate it in the decoupage style (it looks especially great) and varnish it - then no moisture and time will ruin your creation.

By the way, such a cardboard organizer can also be adapted for school supplies: just play with the size and shape of the product and install partitions in the right places. We will show you an example, and you already adjust the craft for yourself.

What will we need?

• cardboard box
• material for finishing (we will disassemble using the example of finishing with a fabric compacted with a padding polyester)

How to make a DIY makeup organizer?

We cut out two rectangular parts measuring 30 * 18 cm from a cardboard box. The first is the future bottom of the organizer, the second is the back wall.

Now we cut out the future side walls of the organizer - two square parts 18 * 18 in size - and make notches on each of them as shown in the photo below.

The front of the product has dimensions of 30 * 6 cm (we make two rounded corners on top).

Now we take up the manufacture of internal crossbars. To do this, cut out two rectangular parts: the first - 30 * 8 cm, the second - 30 * 10 cm.

Then we take up the decor of the future organizer. To do this, each detail must be carefully covered with a fabric with synthetic winterizer (well, or perform decoupage).

First we make a pattern, then we sew everything from the wrong side, leaving room for the eversion, and then we insert the cardboard and carefully hem the open parts (or glue it). However, you can first assemble the organizer, and then simply glue it with a cloth or special adhesive paper.

We fasten the parts to each other with adhesive tape or glue (while the hidden seams are not yet made).

We install partitions and determine the number of small separators. We work them out separately to your taste.

Big greetings to all! Today I decided to write a post about how to store cosmetics and personal care products. The topic, as it turned out, is sensitive, since there are many disagreements on this issue. But we'll talk about this further. Personally, I have very little makeup. Basically, I buy only the essentials, a couple of glosses, mascara, one palette of shadows, night cream, day cream, eye cream, powder, black eyeliner, tonic, make-up remover milk, well, I cook a few. All my “wealth” takes up very little space. I don't buy nail polish at all. I get by with the bare minimum. So I have no problems in this regard. But I know women and girls who collect almost a collection of cosmetics and decorate it into whole interior masterpieces, come up with their own storage methods, and I will show you some of them today.

Storage of cosmetics and personal care products

1. Many of us like to store our skin care products. In bathroom. Yes, it's convenient to use it. I got out of the shower and put on cream, put on makeup and so on. But experts do not recommend creams, lipsticks, decorative cosmetics, except for varnishes, and especially homemade ones. cosmetics put in cabinets or drawers in the bathroom. This room is very humid by definition, water vapor and warm air are excellent breeding grounds for germs. Cosmetic products begin to deteriorate faster and become unusable. Therefore, it is worth finding a more appropriate place for them. Otherwise, the quality of what you put on your face and body will suffer.
2. Concerning home remedies that you do yourself, for example, and so on, then you need to be extremely careful. Since they do not contain preservatives and consist only of natural ingredients, it is best to store them in a cool and dry environment. A refrigerator would be ideal. And so that the products always remain of high quality and fresh, it is best to do them in small doses.
3. Makeup brushes should be stored in closed containers, as dust and dirt settle on the villi and, when used directly, mix with the base and foundation.
4. To maintain the best quality of your cosmetics do not overheat it do not allow hypothermia, dry and cool air is a guarantee long service your beauty assistants.

Where and how to store cosmetics and personal care products

As we have already found out, the bath is not the best way even in a cabinet or drawer. Leave the privilege there to be shower gels, soaps, shampoos and other products that help us cleanse ourselves of dirt. The main thing is that the lids and packaging are tightly closed, and water does not get into them.

It is very convenient to store cosmetics in chests of drawers or drawers. I really like this option. Everything is closed from prying eyes, dust does not get in, and there is no sense of disorder, even when chaos reigns inside. One of several devices is used for sorting and organizing.

Divide - an economical and fairly simple way. In addition, they can be made independently from cardboard, pasted over decorative paper and you will be happy.

Baskets and boxes will also do their job very well. Inexpensive and very convenient way. By the way, I have a good master class on how to do it yourself for little things from cardboard or boxes. It turns out pretty well.

Among other things, special organizers are sold that are inserted inside the box. As a rule, for cosmetics they are transparent, the main thing is to choose it in size.

Agree, a chest of drawers is a very cool thing, but if you don’t have one, then you can use the so-called mini chests of drawers. They do not take up much space and are made of wood, fabric and even cardboard. Again, their advantage is obvious: everything is neat and organized. Many craftswomen decorate chests of drawers on their own, do decoupage, paint with paints and even glue rhinestones.

There are even half-open ones, where there are a couple of drawers and additional shelves on top.

The third way to store cosmetics is in hanging pockets. This is one of the best gadgets in my opinion. Read about how else you can use them. Here is an example of how some women organize their personal care products.

The organizer can be hung on the back of a closet or door. Transparent pockets allow you to see their contents.

A common option for organizing the storage of cosmetics is on the table. Agree, it’s convenient, but to make it all look nice and neat, you need to try. What kind of tricks girls do not resort to, what they just do not come up with. There is no limit in this area of ​​fantasy: organizers, trays, mirrors, coasters, and cans, in general, everything is used. And in order not to paint each picture in turn, I will simply provide you with a lot of photos for you to study on your own.

Well, the last way to store cosmetics that I found is the good old cosmetic bags. To date, there are a huge number of different sizes, types, colors and so on. They fit more so who has a small collection of skin care products, for example, like me. And this is exactly the way to this moment to me.

In general, this topic is very big. You can't put all the ideas in the article. If you have your tricks and unusual ways cosmetics organization, please share it.

And finally, I offer a small plan for those who have no order in the care products.

Step 1. Collect all the cosmetics in a pile.

Step 2. Throw away those products that have become unusable or past their expiration date.

Step 3. How and where will you store your cosmetics?

Step 4. How often will you put things in order and audit there, as in step 2.

That's all for today! I hope the lesson was useful and interesting for you.

P.S. Girls, I know that among you there are those who are very fond of making various little things with their own hands. And in fact, it will not be difficult even for inexperienced girls to make a small but very convenient organizer or cosmetic bag on their own. So I suggest you watch a few short videos. From them you will learn a lot of new things.

Those who do not know how to sew can knit any masterpiece on knitting needles. Those who do not know how to sew and knit will use cardboard, glue and scissors. Good luck!

Chest of drawers for cosmetics and accessories

I recently found a very interesting online store "Super-dressers", which sells chests of drawers for storing cosmetics. I liked the assortment, I'm sure you will find something interesting for yourself. I liked the M020 model, by the way there are 5 varieties in three color schemes(white, soft pink and green). The parcel came quickly enough by Russian mail. The kit included assembly instructions, since all models are prefabricated, the parts themselves, a small screwdriver, which is very convenient, and screws.

I spent a maximum of 15 minutes, and I already had a beautiful and comfortable chest of drawers. There was no smell from it. The seller claims that it is made of environmentally friendly material, which is good news. The product is really durable and has a long service life. The photo on the left is mine, on the right - I took it from the seller's website. Agree, they look nice and modern.

So, if you are thinking about how to store your cosmetics or accessories, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the entire range of chests of drawers, choose the appropriate option for yourself and order. You will not regret!
