How to Make a Makeup Organizer
Makeup can get lost or messy when left unorganized in the home. Many women carry some makeup in the purse but there is often a lot left at home, often times in disarray. Makeup organizers can be expensive to buy, but a homemade makeup organizer is an effective way to keep cosmetics in order. This keeps the quality of makeup brushes, blushes and eye shadows intact, as these are more likely to be damaged if in disarray. It can also save time applying makeup when it is all within reach. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Find a box, preferably a gift box with a lid and a design on the outside that you like.

2
Cut a row of three circles in the lid to hold makeup brushes, eye pencils, mascara and lip liners. Three holes may not be enough for you so you can adjust accordingly.

Cut slits in the lid to hold any combs or hair brushes you also use regularly.

4
Cut four square sections in the lid. This will be to hold eye shadows, lipsticks, foundation and blush. You can use scissors or a razor for this, depending on the type of cardboard you are cutting.

5
Take a piece of cardboard and cut it so that it creates a dividing wall, enclosing each of the four squares in the box. This should give your organizer four compartments to place your make up into. If you need more sections you can adjust accordingly.
