I LOVE when clients ask me what my house looks like. Introducing a new series called A Peek Into My House. Each month, you'll get to snoop around and see how I organize my own home! This month...how I organize my makeup. Every woman is different when it comes to preferences on how we get ready in the mornings...this is how I do mine.
In my previous bedroom, I had a vanity set up at my yellow vintage desk. I loved being able to sit down to do my daily skincare and makeup routine. I had three square vases set up to hold brushes and tall products, while smaller products lived in a drawer. A framed mirror sat in the middle.
In my current home however, my vintage desk is being used as storage and a printer desk in my office. So as with anyone who has recently moved, I had to adjust! I now have a large mirror hanging above my dresser, set up as a dressing table. My jewelry occupies the right half of the dresser top while my makeup and skincare are on the left. I found an awesome Threshold desktop organizer at Target (buy it here), which is perfect to hold makeup brushes and eye makeup (I filled the ceramic mason jars with coffee beans to make them sit at the right height). The front two compartments hold eye shadow compacts, lipstick and lip gloss, and skincare products.
I do love to tweak my system occasionally, so I wouldn't be surprised if this eventually changes, but it works beautifully for me at the moment. If you don't already have a calm and organized morning beauty routine, trying something like this may make all the difference!
