DIY Makeup Organizer Tutorial

I used to feel overwhelmed every time I looked at my makeup pile. Brushes, lipsticks, palettes — all scattered everywhere. It wasn’t just messy; it made getting ready stressful.

One quiet Sunday, I had enough. I told myself, “No more digging through drawers just to find one eyeliner.” I didn’t want to buy expensive organizers either. So I got a little creative — and that changed everything.

🛠️ My Simple, No-Fuss DIY Makeup Organizer

Here’s exactly how I created my own setup using affordable (and sometimes recycled) things around the house:

🪞 What I grabbed:

  • A couple of old clear drawers

  • Some cardboard pieces from old packaging

  • Contact paper (mine was marble print)

  • A hot glue gun

  • Small baskets from the local market

  • A rotating Lazy Susan I had in my kitchen!


🪄 What I Did (Step by Step):

1. I sorted everything.
I pulled out all my makeup and skincare. Most of it I wasn’t even using! I kept only the products I use regularly and gave away the rest.

2. I made DIY dividers.
Using cardboard and contact paper, I created sections inside an old shoebox. It looked surprisingly neat — and it was free!

3. I made a Lazy Susan organizer.
I glued small containers on top of a Lazy Susan. It now holds my daily essentials, and I just spin it to grab what I need. So satisfying.

4. I used baskets for bulky stuff.
My palettes and skincare bottles went into labeled bins. Now, everything has its place.

5. I gave old items a makeover.
A quick coat of gold spray paint on old containers made them look so cute and Instagram-worthy.

6. I labeled everything.
I printed some labels on plain paper and taped them on — lips, face, brushes, skincare. It’s made my routine smoother than ever.


🛍️ Helpful, Affordable Add-Ons:

  • Clear acrylic drawers – check local stores or Amazon deals

  • Rotating stand – I got mine under ₹300

  • Contact paper – for a pretty finish

  • Printable labels or handwritten tags

  • Brush holders – I reused ceramic cups!


💡 What I Learned:

  • Organizing doesn’t need to cost much — just a little effort

  • Labeling everything saves so much time

  • Weekly cleaning keeps the setup fresh


Now, doing my makeup actually feels fun. It’s calming, quick, and everything looks tidy. I genuinely wish I had done this earlier. If you’re tired of the clutter too, give this a shot. You’ll feel the difference immediately — I promise.
