9 Genius Ways to Organize Your Makeup Bag, According to Makeup Artists

Stock up on clear containers

“Organization is key when it comes to your beauty wardrobe,” says Kira Nasrat, celebrity makeup artist and Violet Grey ambassador. “The same way you organize your socks and T-shirts is how you would with you lipsticks and shadows.” She recommends the Muji organizing containers. “I have my everyday essentials in a makeup bag for touch-ups throughout the day. The rest of the makeup gets labeled and filed.” She separates all her products and organized them by category (face mists, serums, face oils, moisturizer, primers, foundations concealers, etc). For eyes and lips, she does the same thing, but sub-categorized by color and texture. While chances are you don’t have quite as many products, you can still smartly organize by face, eyes, and lips.
