If you have even a little space in your apartment or loft, spare it for a beauty closet. A separate closet, however small, works much better than a dresser.

That’s especially if you have too many makeup products, which you want deftly organized. You can categorically divide the makeup based on necessity or palette.

And it won’t just save you a lot of time but will also make sorting out your essentials so much easier.

This shelving unit is sturdy and can help you to keep all your beauty items beautifully stored.

The best and most efficient way to display makeup is on a magnetic board. Especially the products which have flat bottoms such as blushes, concealers, lip balms, and bronzers.

You can easily attach them to the boards, so all the colors and palettes are visible when you need them.

A quick tip: have several magnetic boards to categorize products depending on what you use them for. However, if you have only one, make sure it’s the products that you use most often that are on them
