The best makeup organisers - 10 picks to arrange your cosmetics in style

last updated 18 May 2022

Put simply, makeup organisers are a genius addition to any cosmetic collection, big or small: imagine knowing exactly where all your beauty products are in one glance, instead of rummaging through makeup bags until you eventually tip them upside down and empty all the contents in frustration. Already, getting ready in the morning is quicker and less messy. Plus, displaying our makeup in neatly organised rows can add a lot of visual appeal to your dressing table.

When it comes to organising our makeup, it can often feel difficult to know where to start. Despite renewed efforts towards minimalism, our collection just seems to keep on growing, and frankly, there aren’t enough toiletry bags in the house to keep up with it. Enter these genius makeup organisers to provide a practical but pleasing solution. They can transform a scattered collection into tranquil rows of beautiful makeup products which you’ll gaze at with pride every morning.

We’ve rounded up our top picks so that you’re bound to find a storage solution that suits you perfectly, whether you’re after a no-fuss drawer organiser to keep things neat and tidy but out of sight, or want to go all out and organise your makeup in the most extravagant way possible (and by the way, we wouldn’t blame you). Our makeup costs money, and so does our time when we’re getting ready in the morning, so it’s important to organise our collection in a way that will benefit us the most, and as always, grab a few extra points for style along the way.

6. ELOKI 360 Degree Rotating Makeup Organiser: £20.99 at Amazon

Use this rotating makeup holder for easy access to all your products by simply spinning it around like you would a jewellery stand in your favourite shop. It’s also space-savvy, as the tiered design means it can hold a lot of products without taking up too much counter space. The acrylic material is also sturdy enough to hold those heavier bottles, so if you want to keep your perfume and cosmetics all in one place, look no further.

How to choose a makeup organiser?

There are lots of makeup organisers out there, so there are a few things we recommend you keep in mind whilst looking.

Firstly, consider the size of your makeup collection. If you’re currently using multiple storage options to keep it in, you probably need to opt for an organiser with several compartments or tiers to be able to keep everything together.

Have a think about where you want to keep your makeup, so you can decide on a style that best suits your room. Or if you’d rather keep your cosmetics out of sight, have a look at drawer organisers.

Before all of that though, we recommend going through your makeup and having a declutter - there’s no point adding expired bottles of foundation to your new organiser.

You can find plenty more clever bedroom storage ideas up our sleeve. Whether for holding and organising your makeup, your shoe collection, the abundance of books that you own or even for random knick-knacks, we've got a solution.
