How do you organize your makeup palettes? Share!
I used to keep most of my palettes in a drawer together, but I have my MAC, Inglot, and Urban Decay palettes in their own drawers since I have more of those.

I organize my palettes by brand, type of packaging, and size. Like all my other cosmetic products, I also alphabetize them diligently. 🙂
I know you haven’t done a YT video in a long time but could you do a makeup room video showing your organization, the room overall, and what you have in your collection? I would utterly die if you just made that one last video
I already have a video like this up!
WHERE?! 😀

I only have two palettes, so I just keep them in a drawer with my nail polish and some other cosmetics. As it grows I’ll have to figure out a better system!
OK, can”t lie here, they’re just in a little pile in my makeup shoebox. It’s all about class here at Rogue HQ 😉
I have two drawers for these. I have smaller ones lined up in one drawer and bigger palettes have their names facing up in another. If the name isn’t on the side there’s normally a design to give it away so I don’t have to hunt for it.
I have a desk caddy thing that I put them in!
My non-MAC palettes are in a storage box but I don’t really organize them as they’re easily recognizable by shape and color. My MAC 15-pan palettes (about 10 or so) are organized by color and labeled so it’s easy to just grab the correct one. I haven’t figured out a god way to organize the 4-pan palettes tho’.
Same as you, I keep them all in a “palette” drawer lol
I have three palettes stacked awkwardly on top of each other.
I only have two palettes so I keep them on my desk, one of them is a big palette, 120 shades from Ebay and the other one is the little palette from Beauty UK 🙂
I organise my makeup palettes according to colour – blues in one bag, greens in another, then greys, then neutrals.
I bought this organizer from The Container Store: http://wanelo.com/p/3183609/cosmetic-organizer-tray-8-compartment-by-kennedy-home-collections (can’t find it on their website currently but I just bought it at the store in Rockville, MD a few weeks ago.)
In the part where you see the thing that looks like the Brow Bar To Go is where I put my MAC Palettes. It fits two 30-pan palettes and four 15-pan palettes (or six-pan blush palettes).
I bought this “lid organizer” from Amazon to hold the rest of my palettes:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018BRMV0/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It’s holding 13 palettes right now with room for a few more. It doesn’t hold small palettes easily so I keep those in another acrylic organizer.
I have most of my makeup in what I believe is actually sold as a towel cabinet for the bathroom. I have my palettes stored vertically in office supply file stands. Each one holds multiple palettes and you can put a label on the side for identification. Smaller palettes are on top of the larger ones; in my perfect makeup organization world, they would be set up separately, but space is at a premium. I’m not sorting through a stack of palettes stuffed into a drawer and it’s easy to see them and to access them and for me, that’s what’s important.
In the Palette area as well as some in drawers, by brand of course. And size.. Ok, they’re a bit all over the place..
