Mine is in multiple train cases and bags. I have yet to find something big enough to suit my wants and needs.
Melanie Harless
I have an Estee Lauder make-up bag that I can pick up in a hurry & take with me for my daily needs but the extras are in a basket I keep in the bathroom.
Lucy
In a shoebox from China that is lined with red silk. It is very old and beat up on the outside, but it is special to me because it held some shoes from my father (who is one of my biggest role models!).
Kat
I keep my cosmetics in a Caboodle.
Dee
Most of it is stored in single layers on medicine cabinet shelves. Things like brushes, tiny tubes, or lipsticks are kept upright in small jars on my bathroom counter.
Taylor
I keep mine inside a drawer, but my favorites items go inside a lacquered box
Cate
The makeup I use most often sits in a clear acrylic container on my dresser. The rest of my makeup is stored away in a drawer.
Justine
My answer is the same as Nicki’s.

I have a couple different sized make up bags that I bring with me depending on where I am going and how much make up I plan on wearing that day!

I keep mine in 3 large clear trays that I purchased from Target. They are shallow so nothing is stacked on top of anything else and I can see everything.

I keep all of my makeup in 4 makeup bags. I have so many cosmetics (I’m a beauty junkie) so I need all 4. But I bet I could get creative and make an organizer or vanity to put it all so I know where each and everything is instead of having to check 4 different bags for the items I am looking for, lol!

My husband installed a mirrored medicine cabinet on the side of our bathroom vanity so I would leave a mess all over the sink
Olivia Rubin
On my medicine cabinet shelf.
Shanna M
I keep my favorites that I use the most in a zip up birth control pouch. Ironically, I have about 15 cosmetic bags, but my favorites don’t fit well and aren’t as easy to get to. The rest of the makeup is scattered in a drawer in my bathroom, lol.
Alexandra Wells
Until I can buy myself a nice makeup case, it is currently in a ziplock bag. Trying to make the best of it!

In a clear acrylic, 3 tiered drawer that sits besides my desk.

I use two baskets that sit on my dresser, as well as a little plastic school pencil case and a mug to hold my pencils & brushes. I have a roll up brush case but it’s not very functional on a day to day. I would eventually love to have a caboodle-type case that would hold everything but right now this works!
