Ideas for Make Up Storage Cases

Instead of keeping your make up in a drawer, or scattered over the counter top, you may want to think about using a make up storage case. You can buy make up storage cases at almost any store that sells make up, or with a little imagination you could create your own.

For example, and perhaps surprisingly, a fishing tackle box makes a good make up storage case. They come in different sizes, and they have swing away trays and removable drawers with adjustable dividers. You can personalize them by stenciling on them, by using your favorite colors of paint to add some color, by adding designs to them, or you could glue colored beads on them.

Another good storage case is the three layered melamine lunch box. These give you three separate containers for storage. Alternatively, head to your sewing room and grab that sewing box with the compartments already laid out. Both of these options are easily carried for that weekend get away.

The next time you are at the department store you may want to pick up a small set of plastic chest type drawers for your bathroom counter. These are ideal for make up storage. Another idea for make up storage in the bathroom is to hang your travel bag on the bathroom door. With all of the pockets, you will have plenty of storage for your make up.

If you must keep your cosmetics in a drawer, you might want to keep it organized by trying a silverware organizer. With the separate compartments, this will help to keep everything straightened up in the drawer. You could also consider using Tupperware containers, hatboxes, plastic toolboxes, wicker baskets, or wooden boxes with lids. These can be decorated to your taste and style. Look around your house, and use your imagination, and you will discover so many items that can be turned into storage for make up.
