How do you store makeup?
I have a lot of makeup it's becoming unmanageable. I have so many large palates, easily 50 lip products, plus lots of makeup in every other category. I don't even know what to do with all of it. I have 4 drawers in my bathroom vanity filled with stuff. Is there a better solution? If you have a lot of makeup how do you store it.

Re: How do you store makeup?
All over the damn place! 
Honestly, I had over 70 lipsticks & I realized I would never use them all, so I purged a lot. I am now working on reducing eye shadows & blushes.
I have a three drawer unit in my bedroom (from Ikea in the late 90s) where I keep most of it, but it is a mess right now b/c I am purging & reorganizing. I use drawer organizer I got in target that are meant for kitchen drawers & other ones for desk drawers.
My issue is that I get ready in my half bathroom & there is no counter space there, so the things I use daily are a mess.
I have this in my medicine cabinet for some everyday make up
and I currently have this in the drawer unit in my bedroom with lipsticks, but it's not the best for that-- I just had it left over from rearranging my other bathroom

Re: How do you store makeup?
I use these for makeup storage...I separate each drawer by lips, eyes, etc.
And I use something like this for my palettes
And something like this for my brushes

Where do you keep all this? Out on the counter?
In a vanity cabinet?
My bathroom is so damn tiny!

Same but in my bathroom, which is where I do my makeup. I have drawer organizers in there. That and my DS's toys are the only thing I've figured out how to organize in my entire house

Re: How do you store makeup?
In regular make up cases in my bathroom linen closet. I don't leave anything out.
I have one large case (the one you can open up and hang on door w hooks) with multiple compartments for everything I don't use daily. But like and is still good to keep
I have another that holds only brushes and make up applicators
And another that holds my daily make up - different compartments for eyes, skin, lips, etc.
This way they stay organized, clean and out of sight when not being used.

Re: How do you store makeup?
I purchased an acrylic storage unit off of Ebay, but I know they carry them on Etsy as well:
(I'm in need on a second storage unit.)
I have a large Make Up For Ever bag for every day & travel:
Eyeliners are in a clear makeup bag on top of my organizer:
