Keep cosmetics in a sealed drawer. I've seen all the cutesy magnetic inside a frame and artsy displays some people have pinned on Pinterest, but it's not recommended. When it comes to organizing your at-home makeup stash, keep it simple, clean, and categorized inside a clear drawer organizer, which you can find at the Container Store or a beauty supply store.

Keeping makeup in a drawer and not out on the counter where it is exposed to dust, sunlight and bathroom steam is best. In the drawer, you will be able to keep like products together and the clear plastic of the organizer will show any powdery residue that needs to be cleaned.

Try never to stack eyeshadows and blushes on top of each other, lay them flat when you can and for storing items that do not have a clean or clear top lid.

For traveling, I do like using the clear plastic hanging organizers. It can be hung from the door and is useful when you are putting yourself together in a strange room or bathroom. I love anything that is time-saving like that.
