How do you organize your blushes? Share!
I have a few of my go-to blushes pulled out and kept in a separate area of “daily makeup” (basics like foundation, black eyeliner, setting powders, etc.). The rest are kept by brand, then by formula/type.

I really don’t. I don’t have a LOOOOOOOOOT of blushes so they’re really just shoved into one little tray.
It’s a very complex system I have, actually. You see, I have both a pink blush *and* a peach one. So I have to consider the following: do I order by Clinique or Chanel? Do I order by peach or pink? Do I order by cream or powder? Do I put the Clinique Cheek Pop Blush to the right of the Chanel Cream Affinite or the Affinite to the left of the Peach Pop? 😉
Wow, so complicated… I would go crazy trying to sort that out. 😉
I have a similar problem! I do find however that the Tarte blush has a flatter top and so is more suited to being stacked on the bottom then the Maybelline rounded top.
I always separate out the blushes that I had tried and loved them.keep them within reach.The rest are organize by undertone/color, then formula
I have a total of 4 blushes only ..:-)
very easy to organize them.. :p
I separate by loose blushes and solid blushes. I keep them separated in a drawer but that’s as organized as it gets.
One on top of the other.
Blush is the only makeup item I don’t collect whenever possible. I have no idea why — just doesn’t call to me the way eyeliner/eyeshadow/lipstick etc. does. I don’t have a lot of cheek products in general actually, but blush especially gets left out. Poor blush.
Blush doesn’t call to me either! Anything else is susceptible to a impulse buy!
My stash is mostly MAC, so like you, I have my go-to blushes in my everyday makeup drawer, and all the remaining ones are organized by color family so it is easier for me to find a specific one based on the look I want.
I only have 4 blushes and a sample so they go in the top drawer of my three-drawer mini makeup tower on my bathroom counter along with other face products (finishing powders, bronzers, concealer). I want more blush, but I just can’t see the nuances apart from the 4 main blush colors.
I organize mine by brand. I try to keep my drugstore blushes together and then the high end ones together. But I think I need to reorganize everything again haha.
Lol, I have 2 blushes, and one’s a mini. They’re in the same drawer with some samples. I have rosacea, adding color to my cheeks is not usually my concern so much as removing it. Although orange blushes do turn wicked cool shades of coral on me.
I organize by brands…I just have powder formulas (I don´t like creamy and liquid stains) so it´s easier.
I separate liquids/creams from powders (mostly because they’re packaged differently), then by brand for the ability to look kind of tidy, and then by color!
I keep my faves in an acrylic organizer on my vanity. The rest are tossed into my blush/highlighter drawer
I like to rotate my blushes so they all get some love, so right now I have 4 pulled out in my everyday draw and the rest are organized just by brand.
I think I definitely flunk blush organization. I have a few that I am currently using just out on my vanity in a little pile and then the rest of my collection is laid out in a dresser drawer in a single layer (as opposed to heaped together like my poor eyeshadows) so I can see what is what. I do keep products from each brand together in a row. Works for me but I have to remember to go pull out a blush from this stash or else I will just keep on grabbing what ever is on my vanity. I usually keep a peach or coral, a pink or rose, and a neutral dusky one out on this vanity. I am not as good as I should be at changing them out.
I have a small drawer in my vanity that’s mostly cheek products. On the left side I have two MAC palettes (one warm one cool) and all non depotted blushes stacked on top by formula. The right size is beauty powders and mineralized skinfinishes, and bronzers are in the back.
By brand, by finish, by color, the few in current rotation with my now products, many drawers I’m cabinets, boxes, and in hindsight I now feel as if they are all over and I’m not organized at all. Hmm.. 😀
I have a natural flush all the time so if I wear a sheer to medium foundation or bb cream I can skip the blush. I used to just put a little Benefit Benetint right over where I’m naturally blushed for when it fades a little during the day. Actually I started wearing foundation for the SPF not the coverage.
My most-used are placed randomly into an organizer however they fit best and stay in my vanity. Then I have my Tarte 12-Hr Blushes lined up in one of those $1 long, rectangular basket organizers. My NARS blushes live together in a small rectangular plastic Sephora makeup pouch, along with NARS eyeshadow duos and singles.
