If you’re like me then you probably leave your makeup all over the place. I would like to be more organized but I just don’t have a system. So I just realized that if I had a practical storage space where I could deposit all my makeup items then I would probably be more organized and it would also be more easy for me to find the item I’m looking for. So here’s a list of all sorts of storage solutions you can use.

Magnetic Make Up Board.

Here’s a great first project: a magnetic makeup board. To make it you need a frame, sheet metal, a piece of material, tacky spray, scissors, magnets and a hot glue gun.
