Makeup organizers... designed for the obsessive, tidy freaks of this world?
Digging through a bathroom drawer, or your purse for that matter, is just simply an unnecessary waste of time, when its so easy to use one of the plethora of inexpensive systems, that are easy to get and install.
Even that nice little pocket you find on the inside of most purses, is not a great spot to throw that one makeup item (if thats all you leave the house with). That little pocket becomes a catchall for lots of' 'one offs' and 'little things'. Pretty soon that one item becomes difficult to get a hold of. Add "in a rush" (AND touch ups are usually in a rush) and you have a recipe for frustration.
Speaking of catchalls, most things left unorganized, become one of
two things;
1. A receptacle or storage area for odds and ends.
2. Something that encompasses a wide variety of items or situations:...

i.e. Your purse, you bathroom drawers, kitchen drawer, desk drawers, cupboards, closets... (your mind..). And, it's usually at key moments, they become particularly hard to get a hold of.
On the flipside, organizers

Catchalls' seem obviously silly when a little bit of sorting
would go such a long way, don't they? Well there are lot of us
guilty of 'silly', so how about we get a little smarter today.
There are many effective ways to organize your makeup and each choice of organization, relates to your application location; at home, in your purse, when travelling. AND it will also relate to the quantity of items to organize.
There are a number of ways to organize a drawer, and each drawer's dimensions will determine what system makes the most sense. Luckily, there is a large variety of makeup organizers to choose from including many single level inserts in multiple sizes, varying depths that can be arranged to custom accommodate cosmetic items.
If you are using a cupboard (I am talking about large and below sink level), you either where makeup infrequently, so it doesn't have to be too handy or you have got A LOT! If so, you might consider makeup vanity furniture as an extremely nice option.
Other wise, you will have to come up with other makeup organizers as solutions. Perhaps, you could even consider moving your stuff to a drawer or two (and switch out the other stuff if it makes sense). There are stackable trays as well as carry trays with handles that can be placed on your bathroom counter for easy access.
Cosmetic travel cases used to be a great way to go, however, if flying they can be awkward to fit into your checked luggage. With much greater security on what can be in the main cabin of an airplane, it is much harder to travel with your beauty products handy.
For other forms of travel, road trip, train, bus... a cosmetic travel bag is a great, handy way to go. These types of makeup organizers will allow you items will be easily accessible, secure and remain intact.
Last word on makeup organizers...
Taking little steps to organize the small stuff in your life will pay
off big.
