Makeup Organizers

Use makeup organizers to simplify your makeup regime. Learn about the types and uses here. There are some who can wear powder and lip gloss and be done with their beauty regimen, and there are others who will put on concealer, eyeliner, shadow, mascara, blush, lip color and more on a regular basis.

If you're more the latter, you'd probably be buying different shades of lipstick, several pots or bars of eye shadow, different brushes to apply your makeup with, different moisturizers to keep your skin soft and smooth underneath. You should then be using a make up organizer to keep everything together.

The best reason to use a makeup organizer is it cuts down the time you would normally take to prettify yourself. A lot of the time spent applying make up is actually rummaging through your make up bag for the goods. With everything organized neatly into a specific place, you right away pick up the right brush and the right pot of shadow and get color on your face faster. You also get to keep everything nice and clean, and you'll learn to throw out cosmetics that are old and possibly full of bacteria.

There are two basic types of organizers: those that you will keep on your dresser or vanity, and travel organizers for when you need to take your make up around with you. Professional makeup artists use the most elaborate of these travel makeup kits, with shelves and compartments that expand from inside once you open them up.

These travel organizers come in hard, luggage-like cases or soft kits. The hard cases usually have shelves and compartments inside, as we have already mentioned, while the soft kits have little pouches of different sizes for easy keeping.

Some bags open up so that you can spread it out on your dressing room table, with transparent plastic pockets so that you could see the items inside. These soft bags are usually easier to take around than the harder cases, especially the expandable bags and those that fold flat despite the amount of makeup and tools it carries.

In contrast, the hard cases are ideal for travel as they ably protect the make up from manhandling and intense temperatures with their strong exteriors, while being quite lightweight at the same time. For those who only like to retouch a little bit of their make up during the day, small pouches and satchels work quite nicely.

Vanity top organizers come in different styles, with different functions also. The best kind of makeup organizers for your vanity are made of acrylic, as they're sturdy, easy to clean and transparent, which is nifty for when you're grabbing the next tool to use. There's a series of stackable acrylic trays that hold the different makeup and tools, with grooves on the tray to keep the makeup secure. You could also get acrylic drawer chests and towers to keep your make up free from dust.

Ultimately, organizing make up will have to depend on you - what will work for you, what will fit your lifestyle. It is your face that all this make up is enhancing after all. Be good to your make up and you'll find that you're being good to your face in the process.
