If you’re a makeup lover, it’s easy for your makeup collection to get out of hand.
There are only so many M.A.C lipsticks you can keep in one space, after all. And if you’re as palette and powder obsessed as we are, you’ll want to keep all of your favourite items on display.
With no time like the present, and, you know, the whole self-isolation thing, we’ve forged ahead and found five of the prettiest DIY makeup storage ideas, so you can start organising (and styling) your makeup collection.

Stackable organiser
Clear stackable organisers will neatly store all of your makeup while still keeping it on display. You can find great stackable oraganisers for your makeup at Howards Storage World and Kmart.
Try: madesmart Bathroom Vanity Stackable Drawer & Tray (19.95 and $14.95, Howards Storage) or this Cosmetics Organiser ($9, Kmart).
Coffee beans
Here’s an idea for coffee lovers: Keep your makeup brushes in a jar filled with coffee beans! It not only looks chic but smells delicious too.
Candle jars
Not sure what to do with your old candle jars? Collect them to store your lipsticks, cotton tips and other small makeup items.
Palette organiser
If you’re addicted to makeup palettes (guilty!) you might want to look at purchasing a palette organiser. This will keep all of your palettes in one place, while showing off your fabulous collection.
We love the see-through and acrilyic ones from Muji for this very reason (Acrylic box/divider, $4.50, Muji).
Clear jewellery box
Jewellery boxes aren’t just for rings and earrings. They’re actually a beautiful way to store your lipsticks, perfumes and even your moisturiser.
Some of these are great but I am lacking space for a dressing table in the little flat that I share with my partner and baby!
I really like the look of stackable clear acrylic storage.
