Whether you’ve been trying to replicate Reese Witherspoon's 5-minute makeup routine or you've somehow purchased way too many products trying to achieve that pearl skin glow, beauty collections can get out of hand, fast. Rather than throwing it all in a bag and hoping for the best, a good makeup organizer can help you find a home for it all—and actually put those lip glosses, blushes or eyeliners to use (without rummaging around for them). Some organizers are much better than others, however, and I've done a deep dive to unearth the most high-quality picks.
How I Chose the Best Makeup Organizers
When selecting the best makeup organizers, I sifted through a variety of options including travel cases, acrylic organizers and tiered storage options to suit a variety of needs. I made sure each option would fit on a vanity or dresser or could be easily packed away to travel with.
As far as price was concerned, I focused primarily on options under $50 with the occasional splurge thrown in, based on overwhelmingly positive feedback.
