I have some go-tos that I have segmented out, which aren’t in any particular order, as it’s about 15-20 products, which are more “wearable” and “everyday” shades that work well with a lot of looks. The rest are organized by brand and by formula in my full storage.

I have a lucite makeup organizer with drawers on the bottom half and sectioned areas on top. I use one of the drawers for blush and another drawer for highlighters. There is no organization beyond that. The drawers are now at capacity, so if I buy one more blush or highlighter, I don’t know where it would go!
Stored flat in two drawers of a rolling organizer (the kind you’d get at a craft store, with the plastic slide-out bins). Most of my cheek products are indie, so they’re in little pots, which means I can get a lot of them in a drawer and mostly keep it to one layer.
I don’t really. I don’t have enough that it requires a lot of organization. I just keep blushes, bronzers and highlights separate.
In contrast to eyeshadows and lip products, I don’t have many blushes. So not much of a system: just a small bin on top of my counter.
I have a little set of four acrylic drawers. One is for highlighters and one is for blushes. I have one bronzer and it lives in another drawer with base products. I also have a highlighter palette that lives in a vanity drawer with my eyeshadow palettes. That’s it, I don’t really need to organize further. As much as I’d like to reduce the amount of stuff I own, it’s not SUCH a great number that I can’t find any given product in about three seconds.
In a *seemingly* disorganized, but controlled chaos that only I can make sense out of!
Most of my blushes are in 2 pull-out plastic containers in the bottom drawer of a large 3-drawer Sterlite unit. All 3 cheek palettes are stacked behind my makeup mirror. Highlighters that get regular usage are stacked to the left of the mirror. UD blushes to the right. Collection cheek products (MAC) are in stored in a crystal candy dish to the right of the UD’s. ColourPop cheek products are in many a random place. Yet, I don’t have any problem finding what I want to use that day, LOL.
Laid out flat in my top drawer. If I want to focus on a certain product for a while, I’ll keep it out in a little bowl that sits on top of my drawers.
I’ve depotted as many of my singles as I can, and I have them sorted by brand in magnetic palettes. Pre-made blush palettes are stacked next to those. Singles that couldn’t be safely depotted, or had packaging I loved, are sorted by brand in a drawer along with my loose powder blushes.
Whoops! I hit “post” too soon!
Highlighters are organized the same way, and are stacked up with my cheek products. HLs I couldn’t depot are in section of a lucite holder on my desktop vanity, since there are only a few. Loose powder HLs are in a drawer in the lucite makeup holder.
