There was a great topic over on the forum a few weeks ago discussing makeup storage.  We know many of you have an overflowing beauty stash, but how do you store them?

Are yours neatly and proudly displayed or are they stuffed in makeup bags or boxes, waiting for their owner to get inspired?

As always, Beauty Review are at your service, so we've trawled the depths of the internet to bring you our picks of beauty storage - from shop bought to home made, from new to upcycled, from stylish to quirky.

 Acrylic storage is incredibly popular at the moment.  It's stylish and practical - no more searching through your makeup bag!
 Turn an old broom into a funky brush holder!
 Upcycle a spice rack to display your nail polish collection.
 A cutlery tray is a great way to organise drawers!
 Display your fragrances on a tiered cupcake stand.
 Glass vases filled with beads (or coffee beans, stones, rice) are great for storing brushes.
     
 Stationary organisers make great makeup storage!
 Use a pretty letter rack to display palettes.
Does you wine rack ever have more than a bottle or two in it?  Thought not - put it to good use!
   
 Plastic storage drawers don't have to be boring - these ombred drawers are right on trend!  Make a magnetic makeup board for an artistic and practical feature.
 A multi-pocketed holder works brilliantly as a way to sort and store your stash.
     
 Drawer liners are great for organising and sorting your knick-knacks.
 Lined baskets are feminine and practical.
 Store nail polishes in a cookie jar!

 

So there's our 15 favourite storage ideas - how do you store your makeup and beauty products?  Why not snap a pic and post it to our Facebook page and inspire others?

Oh I want a letter stand now! They look so cool!

I have a combination of lined baskets, stationary organisers and arcrylic storage stands. However mine doesn't look quite as pretty as these pics.

Kinda love the cookie jar. It is super cute! I have acrylic storage. While use it looks cool and is great to see what is in there it also means it gets dirty and dusty easily... and I'm not the best at cleaning it regularly!!!

I love the pocket-holder idea!! Would be great for putting on the back of the bathroom door. I find most of my make up is all mixed up in a box. Makes it difficult to find things!

Ive always loved the plastic storage drawers and the big ikea makeup desks, my babies are currently stored in a plastic box while Im deciding if I want a makeup desk or make a little makeup area corner, my friend has the cutest makeup setup that is in a corner with mirrors and lights, Ill try get a photo to put on the photo wall, it is so adorable!

Great ideas! I like the look of the acrylic containers - need to get some more. The ombre containers look like they'd be good for filing etc too!

Mine is still in different bags all over the place...

I don't have that big a collection atm so everything fits in drawers and little bags in drawers at this point but I do need to invest in something for my make up brush collection.

Oh I am going to have to do something of these things in my makeup area. I currently have plastic storage draws like the ombre one you posted. I love the ombre so maybe I will pain it a bit to them a spruce. Yes I said THEM I have two lol with makeup that doesn't fit after all those draws are full.

Since moving house I'm not sure if I've uploaded a pic of my new "space"... maybe today I shall! I love these tips. I like jars for makeup brushes - same as the vase but a jar. Painted and then distressed they look really awesome, something I'm yet to do but want to. You can also mark out a picture before painting, then shove them full of fairy lights for a pretty epic night light!

Amazing ideas! I love the cupcake stand! I have some victorian looking boxes that I love to store products in.

I like the spice rack for nail polishes -I bought an acrylic storage not long ago but find it a nightmare -It is meant to turn but very clumsy so I think some of the other ideas are better .

19th January, 2017

I love those ideas!! I use acrylic and jars. The jars I repurpose after I've finished using my Purple Orchid Soy candles. I'll be sure to post a pic! I can't wait to see how others store their makeup. I quite like the lined linen but I can just see mine getting dirty almost instantly :-(

Some great ideas here. I just bought two letter racks to store my palettes. I also have some acrylic lipstick holders, and a makeup holder with drawers. The rest is stored in some decorated boxes I got from The Warehouse. The cupcake stand idea is also brilliant. I use one for my costume jewellery though.

some really fun and creative ideas really want to get the ombre drawers or the nail polish rack :)
