How do you organize your blushes?


How do you organize your blushes? Share!

I have half a dozen blushes or so that I consider my go-tos, which I keep in a basics drawer. The rest are sorted by brand, then formula. A few brands are alphabetized (MAC and NARS for sure), since they stack/fit so well.

I have two drawers for my blushes, because I like them to be very spread out so I can see each and every one of them. In one drawer I keep my less reached for cheek products: bronzers, highlighters, cream/liquid blushes, and my Benefit boxed blushes. In my second drawer I keep my favorite blushes.

I have a drawer that holds my blushes, highlighters, and bronzers. I don’t have a huge collection, so they still fit, and I’m trying to keep it that way!

I depotted all my nars and mac powder blushes. My goal is depotting all my powder blushes but so far I’ve been postponing this task. So right now I have two blushes z palettes and a bunch of others in single compacts which bothers me a lot. My New Year Resolution will be depotting all my blushes and eyeshadows (palettes included!)

This is the product I have the most trouble with when it comes to organization… I have 5 bins, and I pretty much keep them sorted by type-creams/liquids/multiples are housed together, HE & DS are in separate bins, bronzers in another… I reorganize every couple of weeks, bit still haven’t found the ideal solution. I also keep all “face” products together, but I may actually try separating them next time.

I have SO man brushes now that I have been gifted with so many brush sets (two IT Cosmetics brush sets, plus the Sonia Kashuk 15th anniversary collection). I recently just bought some plastic clear brush organizers from Ross that I’m hoping will work and I also bought one large pretty cylinder container that I plan to fill with some beads and use for brushes also. Hopefully I’ll be better organized soon!

I use all Bobbi Brown blushes 1) because I love them, and 2) because the brand itself provides organization! Seriously, those four and six-pan, create-your-own palettes are a major reason that I’ve been loyal. Right now, I have three four-pan palettes, one for very subtle shades, one for medium intensity shades, and one for statement shades.

I have 2-3 that I wear in heavy rotation, so I keep those in the drawer with my face products. The rest are in another drawer and I put them in a couple of those white rectangle cardboard necklace/bracelet jewelry boxes– just the bottom half. I organize them by brand. Most fit neatly (stacked on the sides not laying flat) in those little boxes; except for my NARS blush palette.

Most of my powder blushes are depotted into Zpalettes. I arrange by color, though I do have my higher-end stuff in separate Zpalettes from the drugstore stuff.

I find the Sleek blushes hard to depot because the aluminum pans are so thin, so they are stacked in an acrylic organizer. Coastal Scents has the same problem, so most of those are in a makeup bag in a drawer. Cream blushes are in another makeup bag in the same drawer.

I use my Tarte blushes a ton, so they are stacked in an acrylic organizer on my vanity/desktop.

Firstly creams are separated from powders. They are then sorted by brand and then shade. The only exception is my NARS blushes, whitch are sorted from most to least favorite (the ones I don’t like are way in the back and hard to reach for). All blushes are stored in shallow linus drawer organizers in three ikea alex drawers.

I don’t. They are in the bag with everything else. I know I would save myself a lot of time if I organized them. I I’d be happier too. Most times I end up grabbing the same blush every time because I’m in a hurry and it is the biggest compact. Fortunately, it is a neutral color.

I don’t own that many blushes. My MAC and Jordana blushes are in a palette, my two Sleek Blush palettes are with some of my eyeshadow palettes, and I have my four Milani Baked Blushes in my “go-to” drawer.

I de-potted all of my blushes and organized them in a XL MUFE magnetic palette. I love seeing all of my blushes in front of me and being able to easily mix colors.

I only have a handful of blushes, all different brands or different type of packaging, so I know exactly which is which, they need no special organizational system :).
