A crowded dressing table with makeup items and accessories jostling for space is not a pretty sight. Getting dressed in the morning will be much easier and quicker if the dresser is well-organized and kept neat and tidy. Here are some simple ways on how to organize makeup and keep a dresser, big or small, looking pretty and presentable.
Discard Old or Unused Items
One of the easiest ways to organize the dresser is to go through everything that is on it and in the drawers. Discard old tubes of makeup, items that have never been used or rarely used and anything that is broken beyond repair. So discard hair accessories that were bought when they were in fashion but are now passé, and give away the black eye shadow that was bought on impulse but never used.
Use Drawer Dividers and Trays
Create space and storage in shallow dresser drawers by using dividers and trays. This will keep everything sorted and in place neatly. Keep like items together so eye shadows, blushers and lipsticks will all be placed together. Smaller items can be grouped together and divided trays can be used to hold small jewelry as well.

Add Wall Shelves and Hooks
For bigger items and gadgets, wall shelves and hooks will be helpful. These can be used to hold jars of hand cream, lotions or extra hair brushes and combs. Hooks can be used to hang collections of necklaces or gadgets such as hair dryers or straightening irons. Shelves can, also, be used to display a pretty picture or some flowers in a vase.
Use a Makeup Organizer
A make up box or makeup organizer will be helpful for those with a huge collection. This will keep everything in one place and allow easy access at all times. It will, also, keep things off the dresser and prevent them from getting lost or misplaced. Make up organizers can be found at most departmental stores and can also be bought online.
Having everything that is needed within easy reach and sorted out neatly will bring a sense of peace and harmony to the act of dressing and also, ensure that anything that is finished, broken or lost gets replaced or repaired. So, no more getting late for work because the hair dryer wasn’t working. There is no doubt that a well-organized dressing table will surely make getting ready a real joy.
