For actual compacts, I have them stored in small, plastic organizers within larger dresser drawers. I organize by brand and then formula (so similar shaped compacts go together). I do have about two dozen cheek products that I really love in my vanity.

Hey,
I love organizing my makeup. I keep my small face compacts in acrylic drawers with dividers that lets them stand up making them easy to see. I put all my single blushes in magnetized pans in a palette I got from Bitter Lace Beauty. I store it and all the other face palettes together on a shelf in my beauty storage area near the acrylic storage.
All over the place in a strange controlled chaos? It works. That’s all I know, but my system is bizarre. Most are in larger rectangular office drawer divider components, some of my favorite ones are standing upright in a crystal candy dish that belonged to my Mom. Cheek palettes are mostly stacked up at the rear of my makeup mirror, a few more are in my overfilled sock drawer with a gazillion eyeshadow palettes. Clearly, I need an intervention!
I have no organizational system for my cheek products. Highlighter, blush, and bronzers are mixed in together in the boxes that serve as organizers in one of my makeup drawers. I have no incentive to organize them because I am not bothering with my cheeks these days.
If they’re in a compact, they live in the kaboodle I’ve yet to replace with a cute train case. Any blushes in pans I put in a pretty handmade magnetic palette I got on Etsy.
I only have two cheek products – an everyday blush for when I am just shopping locally and my Clinique Melon Pop blush – for when I am going somewhere special. Both of these live in my everyday makeup bag (which contains my mascara, eye brow pencil, setting powder) in my ensuite bathroom.
